AFL:Swans won't let Cats taggers dictate blockbuster

Sydney won't be dictated to by Geelong's plans to tag Isaac Heeney or any of their other stars in their blockbuster top-four AFL clash.

Irishman Oisin Mullin has completed successful shutdown jobs on the likes of Nick Daicos, Harry Sheezel and Marcus Bontempelli, while Mark O'Connor can also play a tagging role.

"You don't want to be dictated to by them - most importantly play our way," Papley said.
