Forward Line

[The Ox_16]

While Geelong's forward line is functioning well I don't see why they haven't played Loats as a key forward in the seniors or why they haven't put kingy down their instead of woefull footballers like Henry Playfair.

Yes, Playfair is a worry.

Big H has been given plenty of chances as a forward but he's no good! So instead of dropping him they try and turn him into a backmen!

Don't worry, Johhno will be in this week.

Henry Playfair isn't a "woefull (sic)" footballer.

He's played more in defence in the last 6 weeks than forward.He looks okay down back.

He looks OK down back. We have one of the best defences in the league we don't need OK backmen we need good forwards. He played forward for the first month or so and did nothing.

Are you blokes serious? What has Henry done wrong? What are you expecting that he kick 6 or 7 goals a week? The fact is that Henry is has hardly been on the ground this season, when he does finally get on the throw him in the ruck or down back. He has only been given a chance at CHF in the last quarter against St Kilda, where he took 4 marks and kicked 2 goals. The boy is 21, 197cm, 90kg and has only played 17 games and hasn’t done anything wrong. He’s our next Center-Half-Forward.

I'm not expecting he gets 6 or 7 goals. I'm expecting that he might actually get a hold of the footy a bit more often.

He is not a terrible player. I'm hoping he will develop as he gets more time in the seniors.

His disposal is the problem. I get the 'fear' - a la David Mensch - when he is about to lay off a pass.
