  "summary": "Sydney Swans coach Dean Cox and captain Callum Mills are speaking to reporters amid a scandal that has engulfed the club. Five players - Isaac Heeney, Nick Blakey, Chad Warner, Riley Bice, and James Jordon - were stood down for breaching the club's standards on drinking and staying out late.\n\nThe press conference comes after Sydney CEO Matthew Pavlich and chairman Andrew Pridham addressed reporters earlier in the week. Mills has apologised to the AFLW players, female staff, and women in the community, saying he is \"deeply shocked and disappointed\" by the allegations.\n\nAccording to Mills, the club takes the allegations \"extremely seriously\" and hopes the women involved are getting the support they deserve. Cox stated that the culture of the Swans \"has taken a hit\" and that the club will work hard to address the issue.",
