The articles may not be so spot on. Playfair is supposedly being traded for pick 44. We had already earmarked that for Bird (ala The Finger) as required, so what's the go?'Delicious' is a fun word to sayComment

177th Senior AFL Match - Round 4, 2009 - Sydney vs Carlton, SCG. This is obviously out of date. I suppose I'll update it once I could be bothered sitting down with the fixture and working it out....

Geelong fans are laughing at this trade, the next chapter in our penchant for trading Geelong duds."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk

The silly thing about the Playfair trade report is that Cats fans (and others who watched the VFL GF - I didn't) claim he has become a pretty reliable key defender at VFL level after years of the Cats trying to convince themselves he was a forward.
We need a tall body to play FB so that Leo doesn't have to.
So seems to make some sense.
But Roos reports that he's glad to have found another forward option..."Fortunately, this is the internet, so knowing nothing is no obstacle to having an opinion!." Beerman 18-07-2017Comment

I would have thought Playfair will make a useful key defender. Seems like a pretty good trade to me.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

He struggled big time with Geelong as a forward. He's been best when a defender.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Just like Spriggs and Torture.
But on the up side he is only 24, and big men dont tend to peak until late 20's so there is some upside.
I'm sure a backline of Playfear, LRT and Bevan is going to keep this board alive with robust debate for the next few years.Comment

We don't play our rookies anyway so even if we managed to land someone half decent with pick 44, I doubt he'd get a game...at least not for a while.
Playfair is worth a shot. He's young and if decent, we'll have a solid KPP to fill the ranks once Leo and the like depart. Worth a gamble I say!Sanford Wheeler 4 President!Comment

He played a really really good game at CHB in the VFL Grand Final. I have been a doubter of his for a while but I was staggered at how assured and balanced he was in that game. Not a wrist slashing trade by any means( and I'm one of the first to see doom and gloom)"The Dog days are over, The Dog days are gone" Florence and the MachineComment
