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!]

If he needs a rest we can rest him. Does not mean he is guilty of anything.

Absolutely

he is not guilty

 

[Swannie0307]

Absolutely not at fault! Tries to push off, Webster is down low and accidently gets him in the nose.

Will only be a fine

 

[The King!]

Forget the incident , his form has dropped off a bit

 

[RampeRobe]

Can’t believe they want his head for that.. nothing in it

 

[Olian]

Forget the incident , his form has dropped off a bit

Doesn’t handle being worn like a glove. Moved forward and he’s our best contested mark and shot at goal.

 

[Ed_Gein]

He won't get suspended. IF he does the AFL have lost it. Lost it!

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Fox Footy already going hard at him

 

[MF]

He's still working so hard. So hard at the ball and so many 2nd and 3rd defensive efforts it's hard to know what's wrong. I actually thought he was okay today, just couldn't get any space to use the ball.

 

[strauchanie59]

If it was Naicos, Bont or Cripps in question...

 

[Jack2Jack]

Laughable from the media going hard rubbing him out, if he wore another guernsey would be getting the good bloke defence. The MRO will cite him now.
He should get off at tribunal when we challenge given what others have been getting off for, i.e Butters clipping blokes every week....I say should because our tribunal defences are generally shithouse. Other clubs would get him off, not confident we will. If we can't beat North without him we're in trouble anyway, probably needs a rest at some point too.

 

[Olian]

If it was Nick Daicos rather than Heeney the media would want the saints player to be cited. VFL media in full hyperbole mode.

 

[The King!]

Yep media going full on bigfooty fan to rub him out

Our tribunal defence got Rampe and McCartin overturned last two times they were deployed …you’re way off with your shithouse comment

I think you will find Dane Rampe got himself acquitted with his own self defence. No need for a senior council for him

 

[bedford]

1 week ffs

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Trial by media wins

 

[Kbroome]

Will challenge and have multiple cases to show and he will get off.

 

[kangle4]

Show Hogan getting off for hitting a Blues player across the face while facing him and Heens will be fine.

 

[MightyBloods]

1 week ffs

The club will appeal and get it downgraded.

 

[Kbroome]

Cases they will present are BZT's exact same movement on the Saturday, Duyrea on Daicos a couple of weeks ago and also state that Webster's body height was lower thus causing the palm off to be higher than usual. They will also make a case that the palm off caused no physical damage but rather the fact that Webster's face lands on Heeney's knee when he falls

 

[rustycrate]

1 week ffs

When you really have a look at what Heeney did, trying to evade a player, in a contact sport, who was grappling him, the outcome was a bloody nose. In a contact sport. Heeney was not malicious. Rather competitive.
If the AFL wants this rule to rule they way players behave, then the game will lose integrity.
The AFL will get what it deserves. A game with less competitiveness and integrity.

Hogan, Butters, etc. there's plenty.

 

[marcus1232]

I hope you guys appeal this and get it down to a fine.

Jimmy lowering his head didn't help things.
Should of just been a free kick at the time

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Hogan, Butters, etc. there's plenty.

No good discount for Heeney? bugger

 

[Kbroome]

Hogan, Butters, etc. there's plenty.

Hate to say it this way but it feels like by the rules the MRO needs to send it to the tribunal only for the tribunal to go here are all the contributing factors that downgrade it and throw it out
