2019 Forwards

[IntegralX]

Assuming Mills is my only other issue this week I will be culling Heeney. Same as Hibberd, his role isn’t being what it was advertised to be and there doesn’t seem to be much to suggest he’s going to turn it around.

I’ll be moving him to Wallis/Kelly if I can as ASAP.

[ubeaut]

I had a bad feeling about Heeney in the preseason, but no evidence to back it up. In fact the opposite, he seemed to be the best pick after Danger.
Sometimes u gotta go with the gut even though it goes against all reason.

He is being played out of position, instead of more midfield time that was touted he's getting less, even worse he's playing fwd pocket instead of usual high half fwd pushing into mids.

I'm giving him a week against Carlton to prove me wrong, after that I won't hesitate to trade him to Kelly, who I would have picked anyway if I'd followed my instinct. Not getting stuck with another Hibberd/Billings.

Word is he played sore, so we'll see what happens next round.

Certainly not the start we were hoping for with Heeney, but I'm not even considering trading him

Surely he gets back into the guts - Horse would be a failure continuing to leave him out of the action so much

Horse is a stubborn Mofo. He obviously prefers pap smear over Heeney in the mids. Yeah he might see reason, but when? After round 7 when 1/3 the season is over, Heeney is averaging sub 80,dropping below 400k, and T.Kelly averaging 100 at 550k?

Hopefully Horse reads this and makes the change!  ;D

hope so too, as I can see I am going to struggle to trade him out going forward.   Will depend on what I have to deal with next week and what else crops up.   Unless he gets into mids will be my billings for 2019.

I’m in the exact same boat! Giving him a week to prove me wrong against my blue boys. If he stinks it up I’ll cut my losses and trade him

Also still looking at Boak up forward. Tempted to drop Heeney, not sure why. Just a gut feeling.

flower this hurts already ahaha

Sydney: "(Isaac) Heeney was a bit injured.. he had a bit of a sore ankle from last week.. you'd expect he'd be a bit better next week (8 Day break)" John Longmire

So maybe he gets a bit of a reprieve.

[frenzy]

This player's had the flu, this player had a concussion, this player got an ankle, all just excuses. They should be like Greene and pull out if they're not fit. They run out, they're fit.

[Bully]

Hold Heeney!!

Crazy trading after 1 poor game, he did score 85 last week so 1 big ton and he's averaging 90+ as soon as next week.

Is Dahl back?

418k, could be a bargain

[sammy123]

I will hold heeney at worst F6/7 or M9

Won't  be that cheap by the time he's an upgrade target  :(
