Another harsh player assessment by the Bloods. Perhaps just play Heeney in the Reserves then for the rest of the season along with Rowbottom and Blakey (who you also declared was not up to it early last season)?

I was right , Blakey was dropped wasnt he ?

Might be harsh on Heeney but its fair . He is a good player , nothing less , nothing more until he proves otherwise

Ronke's not playing VFL and thus must be the sub.

Your post at the time advocated him being dropped to the Reserves and traded out at year's end. Don't you remember saying that?
