Apparently there's talk Sydney are considering putting Heeney on the table....

No way, going to be a gun, actually scratch that, he already is

Apparently they need cap space.....and let's face it, Sydney just shyte out kids like Heeney thanks to their academy...each year's models seemingly better than the previous year's... (see Mills)...hell, they can afford to send Heeney back to the NEAFL.....only back in this week....

Heeney is a NSWelshman and comes from a Rugby background. I'd be less inclined to grab him over a lot of others.

WTF has that got to do with anything? Have you seen him play? By that logic you'd also pass on Kieran Jack.

Never heard of a player wanting to move home or not wanting to move to a particular state before?

Ok then, let's not recruit any interstate players then.....anyhow, you said you'd be less inclined to grab him, not what he'd be inclined to do....if he didn't want to move interstate it's a moot point what we'd be inclined to do.....and still not sure what his Rugby background has to do with anything....except possibly make him a good tackler and Geez knows we need more of them....

So would you have passed on Carey because he's from NSW? How about Fyfe  because he's from WA? Besides, you said you'd be less inclined to grab him, not what he'd be inclined to do....if he didn't want to move interstate it's a moot point what we'd be inclined to do.....and still not sure what his Rugby background has to do with anything....except possibly make him a good tackler and Geez knows we need more of them....


Hmm, I think that's exactly it. I'd be LESS inclined over a guy who'd I'd have doubts over his desire to come to Vic, than 2 guys (in Prestia and J'OM) who have all but stated they want to come (back) to Victoria.

His Rugby background has nothing to do with the conversation except to say he's a born and bred NSWelshman. Hey, we could trade him over and he could become the greatest recruit in RFC history and I'll eat my words. But I'm less inclined to Heeney as he's from NSW.

Pretty much commonly accepted he wants to come to Victoria.

Heeney is a stuffing Jet. Would take him in a heart beat over JOM or Prestia.

Let's trade all our interstate players before free agency. Stuff let's make sure we get rid of Rance while he has value

The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.
