Sydney Swans star Isaac Heeney deletes Instagram amid Pullman hotel sexual assault investigation

Sydney Swans star Isaac Heeney appears to have deleted his Instagram account as fallout from the alleged Pullman hotel sexual assault scandal continues.

The 30-year-old vice-captain had amassed more than 115,000 followers on the social media platform before his verified account seemingly disappeared on the evening of August 31.

Attempts to access Heeney’s profile on desktop returned an error message saying the page was no longer available.

“The link you followed may be broken, or the page may have been removed.”

Those searching for the AFL star through the Instagram app were also met with a “user not found” message.

It is unclear whether Heeney has temporarily deactivated or permanently deleted the account.

The social media disappearance comes amid continuing fallout from an August 17 incident involving Heeney and four of his Sydney Swans teammates.

Heeney, James Jordon, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey and Riley Bice were stood down for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season after breaching club standards by staying out late drinking and organising exotic dancers.

The five players have also been banned from attending this year’s Brownlow Medal ceremony.
