ROOKIEBIBLEVerdict
— HOLD

Heeney delivered 99 in Sydney's tight 6-point win over Collingwood at the SCG — a genuine hard-fought score in an arm-wrestle, not garbage time, but well below his 150.3 average and only 6 above his 93 BE. The first-half horror show (dropped marks, turnovers) was uncharacteristic. He recovered but the output was underwhelming for a $630.3k premo. Cash gen holding at $1,468/wk. Hold without panic — one subdued round against a quality opponent in a tight game does not change the season story. Captain freely when the fixture opens up.
