    I see that he had 3 disposals in the first so he obviously is playing but haven't heard his name called and not sure what number he is wearing as yet!

      Maybe that why Roos did not want the Brisbane Lions job.

      He looks a good player.
      Nah not anymore because the family moved to Melbourne...got special permission to play for the Rams because he wasn't picked for Vic Metro...potential father/son for Brisbane

          interesting quote used by Ben Dixon (i think) in the commentary........ when watching the under18s..........

          "if you cant find someone who reminds you of an AFL player, then they probably wont become one"

          I thought that was a little narrow, but has some validity

            Kinnear Beatson now being interviewed

            Kinnear agreed that there is only one out of 120 top age Academy kids from the 4 academies up and running in Brissie, sydney x 2 and GC that could be considered a first round pick

            Immediately after that comment it was put to Kinnear that I think you will need to take Heeney as a first round pick given his talent and all round ability

            and

            Kinnear nodded

              Suppose they remind you of Paul Chambers?

                probably even easier if they remind you of Paul Chapman

                  Heeney looked a really good player. Seemed to be able to read the play extremely well.

                  Has he had any injury concerns?

                  It will be interesting to see if he gets through a whole preseason and can put himself in senior selection contention early in 2015?

                    Or, even worse Tom Derrickx,
                    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                        Who are you tipping out of the midfield to bring Heeney in? Ah, what a problem!

                          Judging by the number of upcoming long haired blonds, we might be known as the "Hair Bear Bunch" in a few years time.

                            He is playing today and has plenty of zip but fairly rushed on his disposal like i have noticed in the past in scrap games or toppie

                            The commentators mentioned he does 2.77 seconds for 20m (the record is 2.75 at the AFL draft combine)


                            Hiscox turning heads at Swans Academy | Sydney University Australian National Football Club - SUANFC

                            Talented SUANFC Under 18?s player Jack Hiscox has been turning heads during the Sydney Swans Academy benchmarking program. The final session of the program, the 3km time trial, was held on Wednesday night and was where Jack separated himself from the other 100 or so Academy members.

                            Jack finished the trial in the blistering time of 9 minutes 40 second, 12 seconds ahead of his nearest rival. A full report and interview is available on the Swans Academy website.

                            Congratulations Jack. Keep up the great work. The Club looks forward to seeing your footy go to the next level again in 2013.

                            That's a great time. He must be elite.

                              I must say Heeney very much plays the same way Luke Parker plays in the midfield and very similar build.......and can go forward as we know like Parks does but he has stayed primarily in the midfield today so far as the 1st qtr ends
                              Hope he is quicker than Parker.

                                We already have the "Bondi Billionaires". Will Heeney and Davis be known as the "Bondi Bargains"?
