EXPERT ADVICE: THE PHANTOM’S SUPERCOACH Q&A
The gun forward had 23 disposals against the Demons and has kicked five goals in the past two weeks.
“Isaac Heeney took a pretty heavy knock to his hip on Thursday night,” Swans footy boss Charlie Gardiner said last night.
“He was pretty ginger just after it but was able to run out the game, which was a good sign.
“He pulled up a little bit sore after the game, he’s been worked on by our medical team.
“He’ll likely train Thursday and hopefully come up to play for Saturday.”
Isaac Heeney is battling a hip injury.
Gardiner said former Geelong recruit Daniel Menzel was about a week away from a return to footy, most likely in the NEAFL.
If Heeney misses it will be a huge blow for Sydney and more than 70,000 SuperCoach players. But in better SuperCoach news, Ross Lyon has delivered the news Dockers fans were waiting to here: Fremantle captain Nat Fyfe will play against GWS.
“100 per cent yes (he will be playing),” Lyon said on Seven News in Perth last night. “He passed his cog-state yesterday, he trained fully today. Really vibrant, in a sense freshened, so we’re quite excited by his return.”
Fyfe missed the western derby with concussion after a sickening clash of heads with St Kilda’s Josh Battle.
But Fremantle’s injury cursed midfielder Harley Bennell has suffered yet another setback, complaining of calf soreness after a training session yesterday.
“(He) tightened up a little bit so we sent him for precautionary scans,” Lyon said.
“That came back with no abnormalities but we’ll see how it is tomorrow.
“The plan is for him, everything going smoothly from here, is to play not this week but the following week which is exciting for Harley because he’s been through a fair bit.”

Getting cynical in my old age but these Heeney stories scream absolute clickbait to me.
Knock to the hip but played out the game and woke up sore so he didn't train Tuesday? That does not sound like an out to me.
If he didn't have 70,000 Supercoach owners keen to click on that kind of story, would it be written?

MELBOURNE is set to add some steel to their defence, with Jordan Lewis and Neville Jetta cleared to play against St Kilda.
Small forward Jay Lockhart (back) is also available after he was a late withdrawal against Sydney.
Goodwin is keen to continue his experiment with two ruckmen but Braydon Preuss must shake off a sore shoulder suffered in his first AFL game for the club, to be able to team up with Max Gawn again. “He was a good inclusion for us, he performed really strongly,” the coach said of Preuss. “So he’s someone who’s got to get through training but we’re pretty confident he will.
