The five suspended Sydney players, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Riley Bice and James Jordon, requested not to attend the club's best-and-fairest night.
Sydney has granted the request given the unique circumstances surrounding all five players.
They were suspended in August for their unprofessional behaviour in Melbourne following their Round 23 win against Essendon.
The Swans' best-and-fairest night, named after South Melbourne legend Bob Skilton, will be held on October 1.
Despite speculation that the club would withdraw the five players from contention, with Warner, Blakey and Heeney likely to push for the Bob Skilton Medal, Sydney has said that all five will receive votes and will remain eligible for all awards across the night.
Aside from Bice, four of the players remain involved in a police investigation into an alleged sexual assault that occurred on the same night.
Originally there was a genuine belief that none of the five players would return to the club.
However, in recent weeks the Swans have decided that - pending the results of the police investigation that is expected to have its next announcement in late October-early November - they want to encourage all five players to return for the first week of pre-season training.
Heeney, Warner, Bice and Jordon are believed to be eager to return to the Swans and pay back the club and their teammates.
Blakey is reported to be the odd one out, as he is disgruntled with how the club has handled the situation and has considered an attempt to be traded this off-season.
That move will prove difficult, though, given the police investigation will have its next announcement after the trade period has concluded, and no AFL club board would approve a big-money move for a player under police investigation for an alleged sexual assault.
The group of five players returned to the club for their exit meetings and to address the playing group for the first time this week.
