Emotional Scenes as Swans Win First Game Since Hotel Probe
Errol Gulden had 41 disposals as Sydney responded to a week of turmoil with a dominant win and a low home crowd of 30,058, officials said.
- On Sunday, the embattled Sydney Swans defeated North Melbourne by 53 points at the SCG, standing firm after a week of off-field drama involving sexual assault allegations and five player suspensions.
- Five players—Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, Riley Bice, and James Jordon—were suspended on Wednesday for "breaching club standards," with sanctions separate from the ongoing police investigation into sexual assault allegations at the Pullman Hotel.
- Led by Errol Gulden's 41 disposals, the Swans won 123 to 70 against North Melbourne. The match drew 30,058 fans, the club's lowest home crowd of the season, during the maiden AFLW-AFL double header.
- Captain Callum Mills was in tears post-match, citing "overwhelming support" from the crowd. The club's AFLW team also triumphed in front of 16,672 fans, setting an attendance record.
- Locked into second place on the ladder, the Swans face a home qualifying final against Brisbane or Hawthorn. The team faces two more weeks in the spotlight before the finals, despite having next weekend off.
