The Sydney Swans have quietly removed players embroiled in the club’s Pullman Hotel scandal from their official 2027 calendar as a police investigation into sexual assault allegations continues.
Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner and Nick Blakey no longer feature on the version being sold through The AFL Store.
However, the original calendar, featuring Heeney and Blakey prominently on the cover, remains available through Amazon Australia.
In an awkward twist, the original version is listed for $31.95, while the updated calendar is selling for $19.95 through The AFL Store, a $12 difference.
The merchandise shake-up comes two months after the five players were suspended for the remainder of the 2026 AFL season over a late-night incident at the Pullman Hotel on August 17.
The players were found to have breached club behavioural standards after staying out late, consuming alcohol and bringing women back to their hotel rooms.
Four players — Heeney, Warner, Jordon and Blakey — remain the subject of an ongoing police investigation following sexual assault allegations made by three women.
Bice is no longer a subject of the investigation, and no charges have been laid against any of the players. All five have denied criminal wrongdoing.
The revamped calendar features Callum Mills, Braeden Campbell and Jake Lloyd in place of Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner and Nick Blakey, while several other players, including Charlie Curnow, have been moved to different months.
The latest development follows Blakey’s departure from Sydney, with the defender securing a lucrative move to North Melbourne.
His eight-year deal with the Kangaroos is reportedly worth about $11 million.
Blakey played 173 games for the Swans after making his AFL debut in 2019.
The star defender broke his silence over the Pullman Hotel scandal last week, issuing a public apology after his blockbuster trade was confirmed.
“I want to say that I’m sorry for the events that led up to my exit from Sydney,” Blakey said in a statement released by North Melbourne.
“I know I have to win back the trust of the broader community, football and otherwise.”
Blakey said he was grateful for the opportunity to make a fresh start with the Kangaroos, where his father John played 224 games.
“Now I have the opportunity to move forward and I want to thank North Melbourne for helping me find a fresh start,” he said.
The Nightly has approached the Sydney Swans and AFL for comment.
