AWARD WINNING HEENEY GIVES CREDIT TO SWANS TEAMMATES

Hunter-bred Sydney Swan Isaac Heeney has credited his rookie season success to his more experienced teammates.
Preparing for this weekend’s clash with North Melbourne, Heeney accepted his players association award for the best first-year player via videolink.
Aand your sporting idol growing up in Newcastle? When I got into AFL it was Ryan O’Keefe and I was lucky enough to take his number this year.
Despite only playing 12 senior matches in his debut season, Heeney is considered unlucky not to receive the AFL’s rising star award.
