Victoria Police announced on November 13, 2026, that Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, James Jordan, and Nick Blakey would not face charges in connection with an alleged sexual assault at the Pullman Hotel in Melbourne. The investigation, which began in late August, found insufficient evidence to proceed with charges, based on legal advice. The players were initially stood down by the Sydney Swans for breaching club standards by drinking late and inviting women back to the hotel, an incident that put their careers at risk for nearly three months. Following the police decision, Sydney Swans CEO Matthew Pavlich stated that it had been a "really difficult period." The AFL and the Sydney Swans organization can now focus on moving forward without the burden of pending charges against the players.
