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.

That was nearly 30 years ago, the AFL weren't as manipulated as they are now.
With the exception of Watson - a totally different case scenario, how long has it been since a suspended player even came close to winning it?
If people don't think this award is as manipulated as the umpiring and the competition itself, they are seriously deluded.

Very rare that there is an ineligible winner. It’s embarrassing for the AFL.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Personally I think the coaches award is the better one to win. Heeney has never polled that well in the Brownlow but if he wasn’t leading after the first 5 rounds you would have to wonder why.

We are relying on umpires to weekly pick out the best players on the ground when they struggle to get basic interpretations correct.

Chris Grant? or is my memory cooked

 

[Jewelsbon]

Chris Grant? or is my memory cooked

Leaving out Watson, it's only happened twice - Grant and McKernan

Why wouldn't he be leading after the first 5 rounds? Are you suggesting they're going to go back and re-vote?

He would be MILESS ahead of everybody untill about round 12-13ish

It wasnt even close for the first half of the season

 

[SM]

He would be MILESS ahead of everybody untill about round 12-13ish

Absolutely.

 

[Olian]

Chris Grant? or is my memory cooked

Yes and from memory he was suspended for a Heeney like action.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Actually he could of even picked up a vote on the weekend

 

[Kbroome]

Heeney was effectively used as the risk assessment for the AFL in their legal case against CTE which is pretty sad tbh

 

[Dubai Quacker]

Wikileaks has just released the following memo addressed to the AFL Umpires:

******
10 July 2024

Umpires are hereby advised that a new interpretation of sub-rule 357(k)(iii) is hereby enacted.

Under the new interpretation, no blonde player shall be awarded Brownlow Medal votes henceforth.

Please note that this new interpretation is strictly confidential and shall be in place until the completion of Round 23 of the current AFL season.

Yours sincerely
Laura Kane

No wonder Chad went with the buzz cut

Man if the AFL cared about other aspects of the game as much as they pretend to care about CTE we would have a much better product.

 

[bedford]

All i hope is that we win the flag , Errol or Chad win the brownlow and Heens wins the f##king Norm Smith and we can all say go F yourself

 

[hairy biker]

 

[bedford]

Ive been at footy , what happened to that St Scum troll

 

[Kbroome]

Best result is Errol Brownlow, Heeney Coaches votes, Like 5 AA, a premiership and a triple tied Norm Smith between Errol Heeney and Warner. Am I dreaming too much

 

[SM]

Absolutely.

You disagree he'll be in front Olian? You genuinely think the Umps will re-do votes? Bit of a tinfoil hat theory.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Look i mean whoever suggested he do that should never suggest it again

That was painful to watch lol

 

[bedford]

Don't watch , it's a champion being himself !

 

[GoulburnSwan]

Wouldn’t it be hilarious Heeney win the final games of the H & W Season & top the Brownlow
!!! - very embarrassing thing for the AFL on brownlow night. Dillon will be shitting his tux pants

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Don't watch , it's a champion being himself !

Mate its complete overkill and cringe

Its 1 week not like 7-8 and killed a bloke

What was wrong with it?

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

What was wrong with it?

Completely excessive

 

[Olian]

Completely excessive

Fair enough, Heeney comes across genuine in most things he does so I didn’t think it was that bad.
