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.

What a shame one of the most dominant 14 rounds to a season will basically go unrewarded

 

[The King!]

Serong over Heeney wtf

Presume Heeney getting chucked forward or bench ?

 

[The King!]

He was better than just 14 rounds

 

[wills2g]

woooo he made it

but should have been as a midfielder

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

All-Australian ! Never in doubt !

 

[kickthething]

Yeah great year but prefer he rest

Week off and final round resting handed it over….

Just win the flag & f k em.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

I hate that he got named in the forward line. It really doesn’t matter because an AA is an AA but when you’re a top three midfielder in a season I think it’s a little disrespectful to shift them to half forward. Feel like in 10 years or so people will go back and look at these sides and not respect how dominant a season he had. Have said the same about Bontempelli and Petracca in the past.

In Heeney’s case it’s significant because he has one AA guernsey already, playing as an actual forward. So history will record him earning two as a forward and won’t recognise the different ways he earned them.

He was shafted to the bench that year

How about reframing it to "to think Isaac Heeney

finished just 5 votes back after missing 1 game due to a bullshit suspension and resting for another because he and the Swans dominated the competition to the point he didn't need to play"

Zorko got his second last night, as a half back. He got his first as a half forward, while he has spent most of his career in the middle.
Mind you All Australian at 35 is quite an achievement.

 

[The King!]

I am just glad he made it, maybe they need to just scrap the positions and pick the best?.

He deserved something for his season, I know it's just individual awards, but they do mean something . This was his most consistently great season by a mile.

If they did that there would be no backs selected.
It is the only award for which backs are eligible.

True 22 mids

Maybe 6 defenders
5 mids
1 ruck
6 forwards

4 whatever

Or put some more thought than that but don't worry about wing, centre , flank.

Pick 6 tall forwards if they are the best 6 for instance.

Who needs a forward when a mid can be named there?

It may seem to you that selectors were confused.

What comments are you referring to?

 

[giantsully]

The Heeney Coaches Award fiasco has echoes of Baz Hall doing everything not to win the Coleman in the final round in 2005 - just like Baz, Isaac has more serious team honours in mind.

 

[Tedeski]

Nice Tina.

What comments are you referring to?

Presenting the medal to Daicos he said "it's amazing to think that Isaac Heeney in round 23 polled a perfect 10 votes but it was only good enough to finish 3rd"

What a brain-dead comment
