Swans Players Set to Be Punished Under AFL Rules As Police Investigation Continues The Victoria Police investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving Sydney Swans players is ongoing, but the Australian Football League's (AFL) decision to enact rule 2.
3A has raised concerns about player accountability. According to reports, several players returned to their team hotel after a night out drinking and were subsequently spoken to by police.
The AFL's action is not intended to make any finding on the alleged assault itself but rather to determine whether the players' behavior fell below expected standards for AFL footballers.
