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.

[The King!]

He could just be one of those guys who is sore when he struggles and puts it on a bit.

Or we are crippling him

Either way doesn't explain the need to
snap directly in front

 

[smasha]

Maynard did something worse and gets off LOL AFL.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Maynard did something worse and gets off LOL AFL.

Maynard would of been good as gold for the Brownlow the year he retired Bradshaw and Elbowed Ginnivan in the face.

Wild to think about

 

[tombomb]

He clearly has an issue with his left hand.

He is literally standing at stoppages holding his left hand and has been for about 5 weeks.

 

[The King!]

As much it goes against everything if he is a bit hobbled and Paps is out do we just play him forward more ?

Looked dangerous v the Saints etc

 

[MF]

He clearly has an issue with his left hand.

He is literally standing at stoppages holding his left hand and has been for about 5 weeks.

His thumb has been taped up for a while

 

[The King!]

We need him, his two worst rated games are today and Freo

 

[The King!]

He seems to be sore when he stuffs up at times

 

[Tedeski]

Just play him forward & save him for a burst when needed.
Get Sheldrick in there. He can find it & is tough.

 

[bedford]

Need sto stop the left foot around the corner shit could've kicked a normal drop punt

 

[Tedeski]

Need sto stop the left foot around the corner shit could've kicked a normal drop punt

Yes they all do.
I can forgive that if they miss. It just looks putrid when they miss around the corner.

 

[grimlock]

He's kicked plenty of those, just do whatever he thinks is best for him.

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Need sto stop the left foot around the corner shit could've kicked a normal drop punt

I was sitting directly in line with Isaac and my son turned to me and said "isn't Heeney a right footer?". At that point I knew it was not going over.

We had come directly from my son's U13 div 3 game (6 divisions in his league) where the boys where slotting them with ease from the position Heeney took that kick

 

[grimlock]

 

[Wheresbuddy]

Tighter angle, from where he was yesterday, would've been a reasonably straight forward right foot drop punt.

 

[bedford]

He's kicked plenty of those, just do whatever he thinks is best for him.

Normally on his right Grim

 

[RilesMacca]

What on earth has happened with his kicking? His contested and ground level game has been good, but since the bye his kicking forward of centre and for goal has really let him down.

He is in there doing the dirty work and gets no space , some of that's on him not getting it of course

 

[grimlock]

I watched him practice set shots before the game. There was one 40m out right in front and he kicked it out on the full. Should have known then it was going to be a dirty day

The next one he did put through but it didn’t look right off the boot. Whether it’s injury or something else he isn’t flushing them like earlier in the season

 

[The King!]

Feel like every season ends up the same

 

[monopoly19]

He tried so hard yesterday but his disposal was diabolical. Is his ankle hanging on by a thread? It doesn’t seem like rest really helps unfortunately.

 

[The King!]

He is course to be a 250-300 game player who fades every season and is never going to taste the ultimate success .
How badly does he want it? He is one of the most talented players we have had

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Nope. He has a damaged thumb unofficially.

 

[ashep]

Simply being asked to do too much at the moment. His effort was there yesterday but he was operating in a phone booth under pressure from multiple Dogs mids all day.

His form was unlocked early in the season because the opposition were also having to put time into Chad and Errol but as there form has waned, Heeney has just run out of space.

A stint in the forward line might help freshen him up a bit.

 

[The King!]

Rewatched a bit of round 1 v the pies

Where's that team, Heeney had so much space , everyone working
