Henry Playfair.....

[Hazey1977]

Hey guys,

What's the story with Henry Playfair? In the highlights I saw over here in the UK they mentioned he would probably be getting games whilst the Swans are without Barry Hall so they have someone who can provide a contest for RoK etc....I did catch the Palm down to RoK or McVeigh in the first quarter that was a great piece of work.

In light of this would he be worth grabbing as a cash cow as I look to offload Hill before he drops anymore cash?

I have heard his name bandied about for a few seasons, but has he ever really produced, could now be the time for him to step up?

Thoughts?

He is an A grade certified hack!

Think of Gilmore from Freo and you have your answer!

Stay away from him, better options out there!

It's unlikely he will have a very significant role with the Swans. I would steer clear of him.

He has the worst kicking action of any AFL player I have ever seen, even Andrew Dunkley.
But, he is tall and moves well and while Barry Hall is out the swans seem certain to give him a lot of time on the ground as their only tall forward. He scored 62 on the weekend and will probably get that fairly consistently i reckon. His price is 139,500. Does that make him a cash cow prospect? Probably, but he's never gonna make you a fortune.

I dont know who the better prospects are. Maybe Josh Kennedy?

take it from a cats fan. This bloke will hurt you with clangers. Anything he does good is negated by his shocking foot skills.

Before he broke his Jaw in 05 (i Think), he was one of our better players. in 04 we could rely on him to play up forward, down back or in the ruck.

this is true but his kicking has always been an issue. From a strickly SC point of view he is a dud.

Agreed. His kicking is shocking. SC dud.

Even so, I'm sure loads of people will get him if he scores well in his next game.
