Here he is... Heeney is ready to take over

[Cmarsh]

Two months in and still looking like a star playing in the mids. Taken his game to another level.

Definitely a few years late to get this extended midfield time.

Same draft as Petracca and De Goey. Petracca moved midfield in 2020 and immediately took over. De Goey was mid way through 2021. So a bit of a delay in getting him in there but making up for lost time.

Heeney is a better forward than the others so you can understand the reasoning for keeping him there. Won an All Australian selection in 2022. Having much more influence in the middle this year and another All Australian will probably be the least of this seasons accolades.

He'll win the Brownlow this year and possibly at least one of the other big awards.

His career is sort of playing out how Ablett Junior's would have if he stayed a forward until 2010/2011ish. And when he was a kid he did remind me a bit of younger Gaz.
