Brennan or Playfair

Brennan for the back line

Playfair for me. Brennan's a solid mark for any situation for his size, and can take spectacular pack marks, but Henry is overall a better option simply due to his extra height and excellent reach. The opportunity for Brennan to take speccies won't come around more than once or twice a game, if that, while the type of mark Playfair gobbles up are quite common (and might be more common if they'd get it in long and direct more often). I don't think there's much to choose between their goal kicking, whiile I rate Henry's field kicking as a little better.

Both, either one of them bring something a little different to the table.

Both are able to take contested marks. Unlike some others, in that area.

Forget teaching either of them to kick.

Brennan was drafted in 2002 and Playfair 2001 so they have both had plenty of time to learn. Neither will improve.

Lets keep both. Our injury list this year shows that they are required players.
Playfair isn't perfect but he provided a good target upfront and I thought had been quite creative in setting up a couple of goals in crucial wins for us (agst PA and WCE).
Brennan should be retained because he is not too dusty overhead and is fearless. I like how hard he attacks the footy.
Do I want them to kick straighter - well der - but I would also like that from ROK, Hall, Buchanan, Richards, etc, etc, etc.
Brennan is also the wedding singer so handy man to have at the club.

I agree - keep them both if needed - they are not either / or.

However, if it was about the forward line, and we could only choose one, I would choose Playfair. He provides a good target and nearly always makes a contest (wish Hall would do the same).

I was thinking he was very Sir Francis Drake - esque on Saturday.

Both. One forward, one back. Rotate them during matches to give the opposition coach a headache. Hell, chuck Richards into the rotations every now and then as well (but not too often, he is far too good as a loose man in defence). AND PUT GRUNDY FORWARD, FOR @@@@'S SAKE!!!!

Or Sir Edmund Blackadder II !

But taller and more macho????

[dimelb]

Definitely - and not as useful as a housemate.

Henry's kicking was on the improve. Kickfair for mine.
