Heeney is a jet. But Bont has already proved he can beat a tag and dominate consistently. Heeney is Sydney's 3rd or 4th option. Bont is the dogs #1 and has teams gameplan around shutting him down. Heeney has the luxuary of riding the coat tails of Kennedy, Hanners, Parker Mitchell and Jack.
I'm probably being a little biased though. Both will be superstars in the future. Can't go wrong with either.
Yeah...flip a coin. Both have ridiculous ceilings and all the tools. I'd take Heeney, just.
I think the strength of Heeney, and the reason you'd take him ahead of Bont would be his ability to play multi-roles according to the needs of the team.
You don't think Bont could do that? You don't see him doing that because his team needs him in the midfield, whereas as previously mentioned in this thread Heeney has the luxury of playing behind JK, Parker, Hanners, & Jack. All of whom are experienced midfielders.
Bont goes forward every game though?I've seen Heeney do it. Haven't seen Bont do it. Slap the cuffs on me.

Valid point, and agree we should wait and see if Heeney can make the next step like Bonts has. But this thread became a realistic battle after Heeney produced two huge performances in elimination finals. He played as a midfielder and was right up there with Kennedy in week one and Hannebery last night as BOG. I'd argue he's already ahead of Jack and not far off Mitchell.Bont. Bont is no longer in the question of the best kid on any list but he is in the list for the best player in the comp. Heeney on the hand is a gun but still more of a second or third string option for the swans and is behind the likes of JPK, Hanners, parker, mitchell and probably even jack. Till Heeney moves into the midfield and becomes a vital cog in the swans middle, i can't choose him over the Rolls Royce.
Heeney has played most of his football at the Swans in his secondary position yet held down a best 22 spot as a dangerous forward. The past two games he has moved up the field and been terrific. I don't think it will be long before he's "top 5 in his own team".Bont is top 5 player in the comp. Heeney isnt even top 5 in his own team...
Haha funny. i like it.Why didn't you include Merrett in this poll?
The Bont every day and twice on gameday.
with parker and hanners in the side i doubt it. He will have to be better than both of them to get tagged.Both guns - but the Bont has been tagged since he was 19 which for me puts him over the edge.
Heeney may be getting lock-down opponents very soon.
