Isaac Heeney was carrying a stress fracture in his ankle throughout the Swans’ AFL finals campaign, and it flared up at the worst possible moment on grand final day.
Isaac Heeney has revealed he was carrying a stress fracture in his ankle throughout Sydney’s AFL finals campaign, and it flared up on Saturday at the worst possible moment.
Heeney had only 14 disposals and kicked one goal but was spotted in long discussions with staff on Sydney’s bench during the match and was brought off in the last quarter, holding his head in his hands after being told his afternoon was over. “After the Port game, I was pretty sore, so I had to get through the week. I felt good going into the game, and then I hurt it when I got run down and tackled, I think it was late in the first . Obviously couldn’t get through, and in the end it was too far of a deficit. I wasn’t moving well, and they just said, ‘You’re done.’“That’s frustrating in itself because we had Loges go out too, and a few of the boys were pretty sore.
