Isaac Heeney named Rising Star

Heeney, who grew up in Newcastle, came through the QBE Sydney Swans Academy and was the club’s first selection in last year’s draft, pick 18 overall.

Heeney was nominated for his four goal effort in the Swans 21-point win over cross-town rivals GWS on Saturday. 

The Swans travel to Perth this week to play Fremantle on Anzac Day. Both sides are currently undefeated.

The game starts at 8:45pm local Sydney time.
