John Longmire would be drunk on Heeney's tackling numbers. Awesome.
There was a contested over head pack mark that he took in the 2nd quarter that was also brilliant.
He is also my little boys second favourite player behind Franklin. The blond hair stands out.
That stand out look that he has will also generate good marketing dollars for him and the Swans.
You have to remember that the NRL game was a grand final replay between two of the more strongly supported Sydney teams. The AFL was lucky to even get 22000 given the atrocious rainy conditions on Saturday. Let the NRL think of as a victory but 9 times out of 10 the swans game at the SCG has the highest crowd of any football game in any code in Sydney. In addition the swans currently have over 42000 members. No rugby league team in history as ever had over 40000 members ever so again as far as I know the swans have the most members of any football team in Sydney from all codes
Pretty good for a non AFL town methinks

Hadn't crossed my mind either, more to do with the weather, the Easter show and long weekend/school holidays me thinks.
For the first time ever, I seriously thought about not going on Saturday. I have a 90 minute + drive and the thought of driving in appalling conditions, then fighting for parking with Easter show crowds and having to wait for car park shuttle buses in the wet had me seriously thinking of giving it a miss and I haven't missed a home game in twelve years.
Last year, teams played before 36,804 at the SCG. All factors conspired for a low crowd. The final against Freo last year only had a crowd of 35,998.
Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.
