Indeed, I suspect many didn't realise he only registered 10 disposals, such was the impact he made with those 10.

    Valuable as he is proving to be in the forward line - he and Buddy have quite something going on together - I can't wait until he makes a move into the midfield on a permanent basis. Some of his hand-offs to team mates have been sublime, and he seems very clean below the knees as well as overhead.
    100% effective disposals.
    Every disposal hit a target.
    Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

      with Five goal assists.......works for me. He's a good kid and its a pleasure to watch him play. Who would have linked Buddy and Isaac together as natural foils. Imeantersay!

      I rather thought it would be Milky, but I am finding TaHeeney very liquid.....

          Have had the pleasure of seeing him in action twice, it is something to behold. Very special.

          And I see the marketing people are wasting no time

            All they need now is to hand out Milky Bars at the gate!

              This was from a Herald Sun columnist

              ON THE BLOCK: Isaac Heeney, who was nominated for the Rising Star one week ago, was subbed out of Sydney?s clash with Fremantle. Coach John Longmire said the decision was purely tactical as he had struggled to adapt to the big game situation, only accumulating three disposals and one tackle. As much as the Swans would love to expose him as much as possible, they?ll also be cautious of burning him out too early in the season. - end

              Was always going to be tough against Freo maybe he will find it easier against the dogs if he plays as they are a younger side - Freo game will be a good lesson for him moving forward after all the hype and hopefully he gets a chance to redeem himself this week maybe as the sub as it would appear that he is not injured. Good to see the coach calling it straight with young stars as well as older stars.

                  Someone said he had an ankle injury.

                    I heard it was a hammy... just stretched it a bit.

                      Minor ankle injury according to today's injury update by Tom Harley. Seemed to think Isaac would be ok to play this week but it will be decided on Thursday.
