Isaac Heeney collected the Sydney Swans' biggest individual honour without setting foot in the room. The midfielder won the Bob Skilton Medal as the club's best and fairest player for a third season in a row. His absence from the presentation stems from a suspension the club handed down for a breach of its standards. That meant teammates and officials marked the count without the man who ended up on top of it. The final tally showed his form through the season was still the strongest in the squad. Three medals in succession is a run few players at the club have managed. The suspension adds an awkward footnote to the achievement, but the medal is his all the same.
