Isaac Heeney is a crowd favourite and one of the best young players in the competition after he was plucked from the 2014 AFL Draft. The QBE Sydney Swans Academy graduate won the 2018 AFL Mark of the Year award, was selected in the AFL Players’ Association’s 22Under22 team in two of his eligible four years and played his 100th senior game in 2019. Fast forward to 2022, Heeney was presented with his life membership after playing 150 games for the Swans, the first Academy graduate to do so. The dynamic all-rounder can be found in the midfield, forward line – where he booted a top career performance of five goals in Round 2 last year – or as a loose man in defence. Heeney is now locked in for another six years.
