Sydney's AFLW team have become a beacon of hope with coach Colin O'Riordan expressing his pride at how his players dropped their body armour to show vulnerability in the wake of last week's events.
The Swans have been in crisis mode since five players - Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, James Jordon and Riley Bice - were suspended for the rest of the AFL season for breaching club standards.
