Isaac Heeney has thanked his family and friends for their support while a relieved Nick Blakey has vowed to speak soon, after police confirmed no charges would be laid over the Sydney Swans’ alleged Pullman scandal.

The three-month investigation into reports of alleged sexual assault wrapped up this week, with Victoria Police confirming the final decision came down to legal advice and insufficient evidence.

Heeney, 30, welcomed Victoria Police’s decision not to press charges and said waiting for the investigation to finish had been a difficult experience.

“The past three months have been incredibly difficult for my family, (fiancee) Steffie and those close to me. Watching my family carry the weight of this has been heartbreaking,” he said in a statement.

“To my family and friends, your love and loyalty has meant more than words can do justice.

“To those that have never doubted me and stood by my side in solidarity — thank you. I know it has not been easy in the face of such intense public scrutiny. I will never forget your support.

“To the entire Sydney Swans club — my teammates, coaches, the board, our sponsors, and our loyal members and fans — thank you for keeping faith in me.

“The Swans have given me an opportunity to live out a childhood dream and I am fully focused on repaying that faith by being the best person and player I can be.”

Chad Warner said separately: “I am glad the matter is now resolved and I was always confident of the outcome. It has been a stressful time for myself and those close to me, particularly my partner Alice. I will not be making any further comments from here and will be focusing on my football and playing for the Sydney Swans in 2027.”
