Swans Players Banned from Brownlows

The AFL will not invite Isaac Heeney, Nick Blakey, Chad Warner, Riley Bice and James Jordon to this year's Brownlow Medal ceremony while the league holds off on its own investigation. The players were suspended by Sydney Swans for breaching club standards, including drinking and bringing women back to their hotel.

AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon addressed the media for the first time since the incident, stating that 'the way we treat women says a lot about who we are.' The league is waiting for police to complete their investigation into an alleged sexual assault at a Melbourne hotel before proceeding with their own inquiry. sweetbonanza.qpon
