Kurt Heatherley appeared in four outings for the senior side, the most he has been afforded in his four years at the club. The imposing full back continued to learn his craft in defence, holding his own against the likes of Shaun McKernan and Sam Weideman at the lower level. However, Heatherley struggled to transition his VFL form to the higher grade. This fact was highlighted during a difficult afternoon in round 18, with Patrick Dangerfield kicking three majors on Heatherley in a brutal third term performance. With a fit James Frawley and Ben Stratton, it appears likely that the Kiwi will continue to struggle for opportunity. Not dissimilar to most full backs, Kurt is unlikely to warrant selection in a draft.
