Sydney youngster Isaac Heeney looks to be over his dose of the AFL sophomore blues after another impressive late-season performance for the Swans.The 20-year-old former Swans academy player was recently left out of the side after a mid-season form slump but has put together strong back-to-back efforts in the past two rounds.He followed up last weeks four-goal, 22-possession performance against Fremantle by kicking 2.2, tallying a career-best 25 disposals and grabbing eight marks in Saturdays 67-point home win over Port Adelaide.He was full of energy today, he competed really hard and hes a massive competitor, Swans coach John Longmire said.When he was running around like he was today and he was leading up, hitting the ball hard and launching at the ball in the air, he was back to his best and thats a great sign for us.Although still used primarily as a forward second-season senior player, Heeney will continue to be rotated through the midfield.It just depends upon where we need him, said Longmire of Heeney, who came to the club as a midfielder.Longmire praised Heeneys ability to contest the ball in the air and then be first to it on the ground.He was launching at the ball at the way he was today - thats obviously his strength, but hes so composed when the ball hits the deck too, Longmire said.Hes able to launch at it and quite often be first at the crumb, which is a unique skill to have and he was certainly doing that today.Port coach Ken Hinkley praised Heeney and fellow youngster and Swans academy product Callum Mills, who gave another assured performance across half back.Hinkley felt his side panicked after a disastrous start in which they conceded the first eight goals and 54 points before finally hitting the scoreboard in the second quarter.He praised defender Tom Clurey for keeping Sydney spearhead Lance Franklin to two goals and said he might give one or two more youngsters a run before the season ended.

NFL Jerseys Free Shipping . -- Tony Stewart is 20 pounds lighter and has a titanium rod in his surgically repaired right leg. MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Marc Gasol, Zach Randolph, Tony Allen and Mike Conley are playing for their third different head coach since starting the best run in Memphis Grizzlies history.Conley said theres one simple reason the aging core is eager to follow first-year coach David Fizdale.Youre going to listen because you know that he has a vision for this team to win a championship, and well do whatever it takes, Conley said.Injuries ravaged Memphis last season with neither Gasol nor Conley able to finish. The Grizzlies used an NBA-record 28 players last season, slumping to a 42-40 finish and the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference. The Grizzlies fired coach Dave Joerger on May 7 and replaced him with Fizdale.He walks in with a championship resume from working with the Miami Heat. He also has a proven track record of working with stars like Dwyane Wade and LeBron James to rookies like Josh Richardson. Fizdale inherits a roster that also includes Vince Carter, who turns 40 in January, and a handful of young players Memphis needs developed to advance to the Western Conference finals for the first time since this teams lone trip in 2013.Fizdale spent the preseason trying to space out the Grizzlies on offense and speed them up, a style they will have to prove they can stick with once the regular season starts.So far, the Grizzlies leaders have seen enough to believe and keep following to extend a playoff streak of six straight seasons that ranks third in the NBA for the longest active streaks behind only San Antonio (19) and Atlanta (9).This is the year that we have to be more hungry and have more grit and grind to get to where we want to go, guard Tony Allen said.---Some other things to know about the Grizzlies who open the season Wednesday night hosting Minnesota:WATCHING MINUTES: Gasol started training camp with a surgically repaired right foot, an injury that ended his season in February. He dealt with a bone bruise in the same foot during preseason, but Fizdale already planned to limit the 7-foot-1 centers minutes to keep Gasol fresher for the postseason. That also goes for Conley, who had his season ended in early March by left Achilles tendinitis.dddddddddddd Conley played an average of 31.4 minutes in his 56 games last season before signing the NBAs richest deal to that point at five-year, $153 million deal in July to stay in Memphis. But Fizdale also is pushing Gasol to shoot more 3s and is giving Conley more opportunities and freedom on the court.Z BO COMING OFF BENCH: Fizdales biggest move has been replacing Randolph in the starting lineup with JaMychal Green. The 26-year-old Green led the Grizzlies in games played last season (78), and he averaged 10.6 points and 6.3 rebounds in the 29 games after the All-Star break when the injuries stacked up. Randolph is going into the final season of his contract at the age of 35, and Fizdale has sold him on the concept of being the leagues best sixth man to help his future marketability while giving Memphis more scoring off the bench.BACKUP POINT GUARD: The biggest need is figuring out who backs up Conley. The Grizzlies drafted Wade Baldwin IV out of Vanderbilt with the 17th pick and hes competing with Andrew Harrison, who spent his first year out of Kentucky in the D-League last season.CHANDLER PARSONS: The Grizzlies brought their biggest free agent ever to Memphis in July signing Parsons to a four-year, $94 million contract . The forward has been recovering from surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee in March and very limited this preseason. Memphis needs him healthy to provide the 3-point threat the Grizzlies have never had. Parsons shot 41.4 percent outside the arc and averaged 13.7 points per game last season.HEALTHY BRANDAN WRIGHT: The big free agent signee a year ago was forward/center Brandan Wright who was limited to 12 games by injuries to his right knee. He had surgery Dec. 17th and sprained his right MCL on Feb. 27. But he is healthy finally for Memphis.---Follow Teresa M.
