I knew selling Jessie to Eddie was gonna come back to bite us.
Pretty impressive for a team that has been in the top 4 since 2012 to have 4 Rising Star nominees - Mitchell, Cunningham, Lloyd and now Heeney.
Wouldn't have thought that Geelong, Hawthorn or Freo would have more than 1 or 2

Eddie will now work on Gil the dill to slap an arbitary National Draft ban on us this year just so we don't get Mills as well.
Gil's simple explanation will be "they can't have all the guns from their zone"
I do like how Heeney plays the politics in his interviews always mentioning the academy saved him from the NRL!
Heeney is the poster boy for the Academy system that we need. He was never going to be an AFL player without the academy - that is where it is exceptionally hard for boneheads like Eddie to argue that we are 'hiding away talent' or 'rorting the draft', as without it he would never be there in the first place.
I hope Heeney has a ripper against the Pies in Rd 20 - 20 possessions, a few goals and a few assists to Buddy should be almost enough to make Eddie explode!
"You get the feeling that like Monty Python's Black Knight, the Swans would regard amputation as merely a flesh wound."

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.
