Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, Riley Bice and James Jordan return to Sydney Swans HQ to address team
For the first time since they sent their club into crisis and ultimately derailed their finals campaign, the members of the ‘Pullman Five’ will address their Sydney Swans teammates.
Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Riley Bice, James Jordon and Nick Blakey arrived at Swans HQ on Wednesday after Sydney’s season came to an end after Fremantle’s stunning preliminary final comeback.
The players have been kept separate from the club since the incident at the Pullman Hotel after their round 23 win over Essendon, and none have made any public statements as Victoria Police continue their investigation into an alleged sexual assault.
“I’m looking forward to addressing the playing group,” Heeney told a waiting pack of reporters as he arrived.
Warner was the only other player to speak, where he said he was unsure of whether he would apologise to the playing group.
Blakey, Bice and Jordon did not speak to reporters as Swans executive general manager of football, Leon Cameron, met the players as they walked into the club doors.
It comes as the future of the players remains up in the air, with multiple reports that Blakey would be seeking a trade as he considered a fresh start at another club.
