    The physical challenges for younger players

    AFL 2016: Recharged Isaac Heeney ready to fly for Sydney Swans

    I found this article provided a timely reminder of the dangers of expecting too much from players in their first few seasons, even one with seemingly all the natural talent in the world. We supporters can be harsh even on younger players when they are inconsistent from week to week. Heeney's story points out that these guys are still learning how to recover effectively, and how to play when they aren't 100% physically. It makes sense why the Swans excused Mills from the horrors of the swimming pool against Gold Coast.
