Cheers Graeme! Can't wait to see Heeney in action !
Great report Graeme. Good to hear that Rampe's kicking seems to be improving more - he is going to be incredibly important to our team this season following the loss of Mal.

It would not suprise me if he is in the team rd 1 - sounds like he is having a very good pre season, and if he is doong drills in combo with pyke, that would suggest to me he is under serious consideration to be in the 1st 22 very quickly

Good work graemed, lots of info to drool over. I guess all teams work on kicking to position but it's an area where we need to match Hawthorn if we are going to get back to the top.
The only disappointing factor is the size of the rehab group. I didn't realise that there were so many with niggles of one kind or another, including such essentials as Tippett, Pyke and Rohan.
He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)
Or it means that they are both on restricted programmes and the work they are doing is a way to do some skills work in a lower intensity way than if they were with the main group. No idea is there is anything up with Heeney, but we know Pyke is still recovering from off-season surgery and not yet back in the main group.
Thanks, Graeme, and how nice to read a post that actually fits with the thread header!

Heeney will certainly make it tough not to pick him
"be tough, only when it gets tough"
Or geniuses for keeping him when many ... well some ... ok a couple ... of footy "experts" had him in navy blue via trade because he was so unhappy last year at not getting senior time. Imagine, if you will, both of them developing so well they both form the core of our mid-field for the next decade. Mitchell, the Greg Williams-esque non-electric pace ball magnet who racks up 40+ possessions a game, many of them going to the Gerard Healy-esque Heeney who delivers with laser precision to the 200cm version of a pack-marking Capper in Tippett ...
Oh wait! We let Williams go to Carlton ...
