Sydney Will Playfair Next Season
It was something that always made sense for the Swans, getting Henry Playfair back to NSW, and the trade has happened. The Swans need a big forward, the Cats need to make a few moves to free up salary space, it was a good deal for both teams.
Geelong will reportedly receive pick 44 for Playfair. Playfair could be Sydney's new centre half forward in 2008. The addition of Playfair, and the potential of White to also play a forward spot for Sydney next season, could mean the end of Vogels at the Swans. From the Western district, Vogels might have been someone that the Cats had interest in, if they had the space in their salary cap.

Geelong have been eager to offload some of the experienced players who did not make their premiership team, to alleviate salary cap pressure and make room for draftees. Swans coach Paul Roos said the 198cm Playfair would help provide support for marking forwards Barry Hall and Ryan O'Keefe.
