A third woman who joined five Sydney Swans players in a Melbourne hotel room on Monday morning is exploring legal action, with her lawyer saying she has had her “entire world turned upside down”.

Isaac Heeney, Nick Blakey, Chad Warner, Riley Bice and James Jordon were stood down for the rest of the AFL season by the Swans this week for breaching the club’s standards, including drinking and bringing women back to their hotel after Sunday’s win over Essendon in Melbourne.
