Isaac Heeney Focuses on Present as Sydney Prepare for Preliminary Final Against Port Adelaide
Sydney Swans midfielder Isaac Heeney is blocking out past performances, choosing to focus on the present as his team gears up for Friday night’s preliminary final clash against Port Adelaide at the SCG. Despite Sydney’s poor record against the Power, having lost their last eight encounters, Heeney isn’t letting the weight of history impact the team’s confidence. He emphasized that the Swans’ humiliating 112-point loss in round 21 is a thing of the past, stating, “We were out of form then, but now we’re back, and the boys are confident.”
Heeney acknowledges that Sydney has been carefully preparing for Port Adelaide’s strong midfield, matching up their key players like Errol Gulden and Chad Warner against Port’s powerhouses. He believes that focusing on the now and trusting in the team’s abilities will be crucial for the Swans to succeed. “We know our best holds up against anyone, and we’ll be ready to go,” he said, exuding confidence ahead of the big game.
Adding to the challenge, Sydney will be without captain Callum Mills, who has been ruled out due to a hamstring injury. Heeney admits it’s a big blow but believes in the team’s ability to overcome it, praising Mills’ leadership and dedication both on and off the field. Despite this setback, the Swans remain optimistic about their chances in the preliminary final.
As they prepare to take on Port Adelaide, Sydney’s focus is clear — they’re ready to give their all and secure a spot in the grand final, leaving the ghosts of past losses behind them.
