The week that blew up the Swans and called out AFL culture

• The disturbing and potentially criminal events at the Pullman Hotel last Monday morning have triggered the darkest chapter in Sydney Swans' history and spotlighted a sordid AFL underbelly.
• The most serious allegation is that one of the players sexually assaulted a woman by touching her without consent.
• None have been charged, and while the police investigation is ongoing, these events are creating a greater conversation around the AFL's handling of allegations of violence against women.
