No wonder why Irish players always mention the physicality of the AFL.
Isaac Heeney was a revelation for the Sydney Swans in their emphatic 16.15 (111) to 12.18 (90) victory over Greater Western Sydney Giants at the weekend.
The 18-year-old kicked four goals to see his side claim a win over their city rivals.
The youngster showed that he was willing to put his body on the line to score for his side. He survived being wrapped around the goal post in the last quarter as he slotted home his fourth goal.
He received a firm challenge by an opposition player just as he was the kicking the ball and went crashing hard into the upright. After spending some time rolling around the ground in agony, Heeney eventually recovered and got back up to see out the remainder of the game.
