Isaac played junior football for the Templestowe Football Club and for Bulleen-Templestowe Football Club in the Yarra Junior Football League. In 2018, he was runner-up for Oakleigh Chargers best and fairest award, which was won by Jack Ross.
He represented Vic Metro at the 2018 AFL Under 18 Championships and was selected for the All-Australian team, despite missing the match against Vic County due to a rib fracture.
Isaac was part of Collingwood’s Next Generation Academy and won the goal kicking test at the Draft Combine. The club drafted him to their AFL squad with the 13th draft pick of the 2018 AFL draft. As Collingwood’s first pick of the draft, he wore the number 35 guernsey in his first season.
Isaac made his AFL debut in Collingwood’s loss against Hawthorn in the 16th round of the 2019 AFL season. In the 17th round of the 2020 AFL season, he was nominated for the AFL Rising Star award. In 2021 he became a regular player in Collingwood’s lineup each week.
