Isaac Heeney is choosing to prioritise short-term memory as Sydney bid to reverse a terrible record against Ken Hinkley’s unpredictable Power on Friday night.
Isaac Heeney is adamant Sydney won’t let eight years of losses to Port Adelaide play on their minds as the Swans prepare to host their bogey team with a place in the AFL grand final on the line.
But Port’s unpredictability has been underlined in heavy black marker this finals series. Having finished second on the ladder, four points behind Sydney, they lost at home to Geelong by 84 points and were promptly written off for the premiership. But Heeney, who will run out for his 200th AFL game on Friday night, is choosing to prioritise short-term memory over a history he believes is not necessarily relevant in the circumstances.“That was in the past, and we were a bit out of form at that stage,” Heeney said before he and John Longmire’s squad started training under lights at the SCG on Wednesday night.
The other factor falling in Sydney’s favour is the fact that the Power have not played at the SCG since 2018 and will have to adjust to its unique dimensions.
