I always thought he was a bombers supporter but my mate who went to school with him said he was a Tigers Supporter, I also played junior footy with him. Where did you play?

From what I saw in junior level No. Skillwise I would compare him to a K.Johnson type player from the Tigers. He is able to recieve the ball, but his footskills arn't outstanding. The only differnce with K.johson is heath is prepared to earn the ball via hardballs and 1%'s. He will get to the target, but not excellent at pin pointing his target. He prefers to kick high which IMO would'nt suit a forward like lloyd who prefers it on the run.

If he fully develops his body, I would compare it to the stocky midfielder type as in Tuck, K. Johnson, Voss, Buckley- you get the drift.

* Please note when I compare Heath to elite AFL players I do not mean he will be as good etc.

Nup, Bomber supporter. We (a group of tiger supporters at the club) used to try and get him across and tell others that he was a Tiger. But that was about it.

I played with Mooroolbark FC
 
If Essendon can refine his kicking skills then an excellent pick up . I like the way he goes about his footy.

His disposal was found wanting at TAC level , had it been up to standard he would have gone in the national draft.

I will give him this he is one tough SOB.

Hope he does well.
