is a crowd favourite and one of the best young players in the competition. The QBE Sydney Swans Academy graduate won the 2018 AFL Mark of the Year award, was selected in the AFL Players’ Association’s 22Under22 team in two of his eligible four years and played his 100th senior game in 2019. Heeney can be used in the midfield, forward line – where he booted four goals in star teammate Lance Franklin’s absence in Round 20 last year – or as a loose man in defence.

I get the feeling he's going to like the pressure coming his way this time around

 

[tombomb]

Think there are some parallels with 2017 Martin.

He could play in any position on the ground in this form and totally dominate. Feels way more sustainable than previous good runs of form.

great call
and throw in petracca since 2021

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Am hearing he’s fully fit, no niggles and fired up this year and wants to make a massive impact. More leadership aspirations are great signs too.

As Heeney is our best player, we need him at his best to win a flag - good signs

What a difference being injury free makes for Isaac. As his number one fan on this board, I’m going to keep bumping this thread. 9/9 Brownlow votes - what a star ! Need to make sure he remains injury free so some rotations forward might be in order later in the season to take the inside mid grind away.

Number one fan? But Heeney is only moderately fast at best!

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Another BOG for the swans, that’s 4 in a row. Probably gets a Brownlow vote so 10/12 not a bad start for another incoming AA year.

 

[S120]

Best month of footy I’ve seen him play for sure. He looks so at ease as our number one midfielder. Taking the responsibility with open arms.

 

[MF]

Really noticed the difference today when he was on the ground vs off the ground. We looked a different team without him crashing around in the middle. Apart from a couple of dropped marks it was another top level performance.

 

[Swannie0307]

He has been played out of position for the last 5 or 6 years. We could have seen this back in 2018 and onwards had Horse played him in the midfield.

Fully agree!

FFS, the kid (back then) came 3rd in the Gary Ayres finals best player award in 2016.

From memory, I’m pretty sure he played mostly in the mids in that finals series (as a 2nd year player FFS!!).

So I would even argue that Horse has robbed us (Heeney not playing in midfield) since 2016!! … and maybe, just maybe, even robbed Isaac of a Brownlow

 

[The King!]

He has been played out of position for the last 5 or 6 years. We could have seen this back in 2018 and onwards had Horse played him in the midfield.

Next you will claim he played Mills out of position

 

[Nuggetz]

Hope horse and the coaching staff dont put him fwd because our current fwds were poor. It would've been a bigger margin if not for heeney quality midfield performance.

 

[DeathlyAccurate]

I want to see him win the Brownlow, Premiership, Normie trifecta.

BUMP. 13/15 Brownlow votes. What a star !! Amazing talent backed up by awesome work rate and effort. The complete package !

 

[MR0808]

Glad I got him at $13

 

[The King!]

Carrying us

If he keeps playing like this, he will get 45 votes.

 

[Superstar swan]

Best player in the league atm

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Could break all sorts of records with votes if he keeps this form up.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Best player in the league atm

Yer its not even close either

 

[GoTheSwannies]

They might have the rename the medal to the Heeney after this season.

 

[The King!]

There is no way Mills and Parker need to change Heeneys role.

 

[MF]

26 touches (17 contested), 2 goals, 4 goal assists, 6 tackles and went at 92% efficiency
