2008 Player Review - #25 Kyle Cheney

Featured Replies

Posted

25. Kyle Cheney [184cm 86kg 25.08.89 - 0 games 0 goals] - 2008 was a development year for the hard at it medium defender from North Ballarat Under 18's.

Cheney started the season in the Sandy reserves and showed steady improvement despite some injury concerns. By late in the season, he was showing good form playing deep in defence for the Zebra seniors.

 

Seems to be hard at it and uncompromising, that's a mix that we are in desperate need of. Can only hope that he comes along in leaps & bounds in 2009.

sounds like a camball brown type! hope he turns out like him!

i wanna bring back this thread im really intrested to hear what peoples thoughts on this kid. from what i have heard he has actually bualked up and looks fit aswell. with johnson gone could we see cheney play a couple of games next year just off the half back? i hear he is really aggressive and plays hard which comes really handy

thoughts

His form for Sandy near the end of the season was very good...he came on in leaps and bounds this year..originally from Warracknabeal, he's a terrrific young kid and I hope he does well for Melbourne

Still needs a fair degree of improvement if he is to get a game with the Dees. He is definitely hard at the contest and that is a big positive.

 

I loved him straight out, for his toughness and attitude, so I expected more from him in his first year.

I don't see the upside with him, unless Wrecker can teach him a thing or two.

Sounds like the complete opposite of Christine Johnson!

Was a speculative draft pick, so we won't slit our wrists if he never comes good. But would cap off a sensational draft ,if he becomes a player.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
