Heeney is a gem.
When we beat the Swans in that Semi final Heeney and Goodes were the only two Sydney players to show anything. We left that game thinking that Heeney was gonna be a really good player and he is living up to what he showed that game. Lets hope JHF is a grade above him. Tho if JHF gets to Heeney's standard and everyone else reaches their potential... wow.

Dudes, I just can't understand the cynicism.
In the past year, we've seen incredible achievements by two of THE greatest indigenous athletes of my lifetime: Buddy and Barty.
Two outstanding understated personalities.
That 1000th goal was a wonderful achievement that might not mean much to you in terms of the spectacle, but if you can't recognise those two remarkable people's contribution to our national culture, then we might as well turn off the lights and go home.
Buddy's good but I wouldn't even have him as the best blackfella to play this century. Top three behind McLeod and Goodes. Great athlete, sure. But there are a few. For pure athletes Cathy Freeman and Kyle Vander Kyup were pretty damn good. Mills and Simmons too. Anyone who plays in the NBA is an absolutely elite athlete.

Its a top effort tho.

Absolute champion of the game and we may never see anyone do that again. Hats off to him.

Tho as DarwinRoo mentioned the Swans crowd is probably the worst in the country in terms of AFL and having any heart. Yet they've seen Plugger and Buddy both kick 1000!

Cathy😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
 
Omg so the game last night stopped at 5 minutes and 55 seconds left

There has been 5 players that have kicked 1000 before him

If you divide 1000 by 18 he kicks 55.55

Buddy wears the number 23 so 2 + 3 = 5

It’s his 5th goal of the season
The Law of Fives states simply that: ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5.

The Law of Fives is never wrong.



 
1057 goals from 267 games. 47 from 15 games in ‘75, so had 1010 from 252 at the end of '74. Looks like it was in his 249th - the 1974 qualifying final vs hawthorn.



I wiki-ed Doug last night. 1974, Rd. 21 v Coll.at Arden st. Held to 1 goal up until 3/4 time. He kicked 7 in the last as we won by 91 points !

Must have been there but faded from my memory sadly. Shame most of those old replays from channels 7 & 2 gone 😥

Rory Sloane has been an absolute warrior but he is on struggle street despite him still being able to find the footy . His disposals are pretty much ineffective and his running is a liability .
 
Garry Lyon puts his foot in it more than he puts his chol in his mates wives.

"Where's that little old cobber that leads the Sydney songs"
Producer in his ear tells him that he died last year
"I'm sorry, of course Sydney legend Kenny Williams. A fixture of the club that would join in with the boys after every win sadly passed in 2021. 🥀"
Oh dear
 
Umpires just have no clue this season.

Playing all these tiggy touchwood frees and frees for having their feelings hurt.

Yet Howe just attempted a 1 hand mark because his other was chickenwinged and it was called a fair contest.
 
These two sides are Bottom Six standard.

And we looked a looooong way off them last week.
Fingers crossed last week was merely an off week although I tend to agree
