Sydney has suspended Riley Bice, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, James Jordon and Chad Warner for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season.

The ban comes after at least four players were linked to an ongoing Victoria Police investigation into an alleged sexual assault at a Melbourne Hotel where the Swans were staying after their win over Essendon on Sunday night.

It is not suggested that any of the players are being accused of sexual assault.
