Sydney trio Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, James Jordon and North Melbourne recruit Nick Blakey have avoided any sexual assault charges after learning their fates from the Pullman Hotel incident in August.
The quartet have been under scrutiny for the last three months after three women made claims they were sexually assaulted, with no further police action to take place, according to News Corp.
Riley Bice was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing and was treated as a witness.
All five players were banned from the Brownlow Medal and were stripped of any possibility of making the All-Australian team.
However, Heeney was still awarded Sydney's best and fairest award in 2026.
"The past three months have been incredibly difficult for my family, (fiancee) Steffi, and those close to me ... watching my family carrying the weight of this has been heartbreaking," Heeney 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.
“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.”
Blakey also departed the club, joining the Kangaroos via the trade period and signing a long-term deal at Arden Street, where his father John played.
The Victorian Police explained the outcome.
“Following a thorough investigation and based on legal advice, Victoria Police will not proceed with criminal charges due to insufficient evidence,” police said in a statement on Friday.
“Due to the ongoing civil matter, Victoria Police is unable to make further comment.”
The off-season debacle prompted the Swans Board to commission a comprehensive examination of the club's AFL program in early September.
The assessment of the organisation reared its ugly head earlier this month when star forward Tom Papley allegedly failed a roadside drug test.
