Heeney’s Five Goals Propel Swans to Two-Point Gabba Victory

Sydney awaits a head injury assessment on Brodie Grundy after he left the field late in the win.

Overview

  • Isaac Heeney equalled his career high with five goals to guide Sydney to a 92-90 triumph at the Gabba.
  • The Lions dominated clearances (39-22) and inside 50s (65-52) but fell short due to inconsistent forward-half pressure and wayward kicking.
  • Brodie Grundy was removed late in the match with a head knock and is undergoing a formal concussion assessment.
  • Defender Justin McInerney is set for a lengthy layoff after suffering a likely posterior cruciate ligament injury.
  • Brisbane, on 14 wins and a draw, must win one of its final two home-and-away matches to guarantee a spot in the top eight.
