Sydney Swans players Isaac Heeney and Nick Blakey were reportedly photographed partying in Adelaide at about 4am, weeks before a separate Melbourne hotel incident that led to their suspensions. The report links the earlier late-night outing to wider scrutiny of player behaviour and the club’s standards.

The article says the Adelaide photographs were taken after the Swans’ match in the city, while the later hotel matter occurred in Melbourne and resulted in both players being stood down. It presents the earlier episode as additional context rather than saying it was directly connected to the hotel allegations.
