Heeney at his combine ram a 2.95 for the 20m sprintHigh half-forward would be a great starting point and a boon for our forward unit and midfield.
Because we need to be able to link in midfield and break from stoppage more easily
He doesn't help with that, much like his 2nd cousin given Walsh's preference to play more inside.
You can't just keep packing in too much of the same athletic profile, unless they're all elite speed/endurance mixes of various sizes
We've had too many grinders, and all FOS can do to separate clearly from that is leap at the ball from time to time. He's not as quick as Heeney.
And? We don't need that, and the situation will change over time too.
If you could, would you prefer Neale or McCluggage to add to our 2025 midfield?
FOS ran a 2.98
Combine that with his top 10 finishes in the 2km, agility, and 2nd in the vertical jump and I think you can absolutely make the argument that he’s a superior athlete.
I think he’ll be gone by our pick, but if we take him one of the main reasons is his athleticism, it’s a big strength of his, he’s far from a “grinder”
