SYDNEY officials have interviewed all players involved in an alleged incident in Melbourne that is the subject of a police investigation, with the Swans board to meet on Tuesday night to determine the penalties that will be handed down. 

Club officials spent Tuesday speaking with the players involved at a location away from Swans headquarters. 

In a statement released on Tuesday evening, the club said officials had emerged from those talks with the belief that those players "were in serious breach" of the standards expected of Swans players and would be penalised.

Sydney has not ruled out further sanctions once the outcome of the police investigation is clear. 

The club also acknowledged that the allegations had a serious impact on the women involved in the alleged incident, and expressed concern for their wellbeing. 

"The Sydney Swans condemn all forms of abuse and disrespectful behaviour towards women. Any conduct that causes offence or harm to others is unacceptable and falls well short of our expectations. All women deserve to be respected and feel safe," the club said. 

"We also want to acknowledge that the care and welfare of our AFLW athletes and staff is of the utmost importance to us as a Club. They have been and will continue to be offered the support they require and we acknowledge the impact these allegations have on our female athletes, staff members and the wider community." 

Swans coach Dean Cox addressed the wider playing group at Swans HQ on Tuesday, but the players at the centre of the investigation were not present at the club.

Earlier, Cox made his first public statement since news of the police investigation came to light on Monday, saying he was "extremely disappointed".

"Obviously extremely disappointed with what's happened, and understand the questions and we'll update as we gather more information," Cox said.

When asked if sanctions should be expected, Cox added: "We're working our way through everything with the AFL and the relevant parties and we'll update when we get more information."

Asked if he had spoken to the players, Cox said: "We'll speak as the day unfolds."

Captain Callum Mills also spoke briefly to the waiting media at Moore Park as he and other players from both the men's and women's programs filtered into the club.

"I can't really comment. There's an investigation ongoing and we don't have the facts yet," Mills said.

"Once everything is sorted and the facts are understood, then we can comment."

Full Sydney Swans statement

The Sydney Swans can confirm that the Club Board will meet tonight to agree on player sanctions and penalties, now that the Club has concluded its interviews with all the players involved in the incident in Melbourne.

We respect there is an ongoing investigation by Victoria Police and any actions we take are independent of this.

The Club believes the players are in serious breach of expected Club behaviour and standards, and it is appropriate to take firm action and highlight that any sanction we impose relates solely to those breaches.

The Club also acknowledges that these serious allegations impact others and their wellbeing must be paramount.

The Sydney Swans condemn all forms of abuse and disrespectful behaviour towards women. Any conduct that causes offence or harm to others is unacceptable and falls well short of our expectations. All women deserve to be respected and feel safe.

We also want to acknowledge that the care and welfare of our AFLW athletes and staff is of the utmost importance to us as a Club. They have been and will continue to be offered the support they require and we acknowledge the impact these allegations have on our female athletes, staff members and the wider community.

Any further sanctions or decisions regarding the outcome of the police investigation would take place after that process is completed.

During this time, we will provide the appropriate support to the players involved in the incident, along with their partners and families.

The Sydney Swans hold all players and staff at the Club to high standards of behaviour and personal conduct. Representing this Club carries significant responsibilities both on and off the field, and we expect those standards to be upheld at all times.

Our focus remains on cooperating fully with the AFL and authorities, maintaining the integrity of the process, and upholding the high standards expected of everyone who represents this Club.
