5 sentences from our version of the report, chosen to cover it. Nothing here is written; every line is in the article below. How

Warner polled for the first time in round four. Heeney finished equal-eighth on 26 votes, ahead of teammate Errol Gulden, who ended the season with five consecutive best-afield performances.

Headline check

One of the two things this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • “Banned” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

Isaac Heeney finished outside of the top five in the Brownlow Medal count.

Heeney was one of five Swans players stood down by the club following a post-match incident in Melbourne last month.

Nick Daicos won the Brownlow Medal with a record 47 votes.

The league had a contingency plan in place if Heeney had won the game's highest individual honour.

Heeney, and Swans teammates Chad Warner and Nick Blakey were among the notable absences from Monday night's awards ceremony.

Along with Riley Bice and James Jordon, they have been absent from Sydney's headquarters since being suspended by the club in August.

The five players were ruled ineligible for All-Australian honours and were not invited to the Brownlow Medal function in Melbourne.

Brodie Grundy, Charlie Curnow, Dane Rampe, Logan McDonald and Tom McCartin were among those on hand for the Swans.

Heeney finished equal-eighth on 26 votes, ahead of teammate Errol Gulden, who ended the season with five consecutive best-afield performances.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is ABC News's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
