is a crowd favourite and one of the best young players in the competition. The QBE Sydney Swans Academy graduate won the 2018 AFL Mark of the Year award, was selected in the AFL Players’ Association’s 22Under22 team in two of his eligible four years and played his 100th senior game in 2019. Heeney can be used in the midfield, forward line – where he booted four goals in star teammate Lance Franklin’s absence in Round 20 last year – or as a loose man in defence.

A young Heeney, he's spot on with the clean hands comment.

I miss having games at Drummoyne oval. That was a good venue.

 

[Nuggetz]

Heeney's midfield nous/iq has developed rapidly this season. I think it was an underlying factor in his spectacular game v Giants. Even the little push off is IQ & then prior to that is the work rate to make the contest but not over-commit.

 

[RedBloodBlackSwan]

Everyone will marvel - rightly - at the mark. Very few players could even attempt that, let alone pull it off.

But I can’t stop watching that third goal. To have already run from the backline at full pace, have the nous to deal with Whitfield legally, to collect the ball and unleash that perfect kick while still running at full speed…who else could do that?

I can only think of two who could have also finish that goal off, Buddy and Dusty - though I am not sure either of them would have sprinted from defence to the middle of the ground to receive the ball in the first place.

 

[Nuggetz]

He's the perfect AFL player. Elite both sides of the ball, elite skills. Kicks goals & elite athleticism.

What is different to either side of the ball apart from signage

The statue of the mark should be outside our new training centre
