Heeney injured as first-half blitz powers Swans over Dees

THE SYDNEY Swans have atoned for a shock loss to the Western Bulldogs last round, with high-priced forward Kurt Tippett firing his side to an emphatic 38-point win over Melbourne on Saturday night.
But it was soured by a likely posterior cruciate ligament injury suffered by rising star Isaac Heeney, who was substituted in the second quarter when he landed awkwardly after a marking contest.
"Our doc thinks it's probably four to six (weeks)," Swans coach John Longmire said.
"That's obviously straight after a game – he hasn't had a scan yet – but that's the early diagnosis … Hopefully that's a good sign."

Longmire pleased as Swans restore order in chaotic round
Heeney's injury was a rare lowlight for the visitors, who effectively killed the match when they piled on seven goals to one before half-time.
Returning to the MCG for the first time since last year's Grand Final debacle, the Swans produced a vastly superior performance to run out 12.16 (88) to 7.8 (50) winners over the Demons.
Tippett booted four majors and feasted early on high-quality delivery from his teammates, with Josh Kennedy (31 disposals, two goals) and Tom Mitchell (27) leading an impressive midfield brigade.
