AFL FANTASY TAKE

The long term injury for Heeney opens up yet another opportunity at the Swans, he was used as a lead up small marking forward in 2020.

The Swans have a significant injury list, expect senior coach John Longmire to trial several younger type players for the remainder of the season. This could alter playing roles for existing players.
