More details are emerging about the wild stripper party that ended with five Sydney Swans players being stood down and barred from the Brownlow – including fresh claims regarding the ‘medical episode’ allegedly suffered by one of the dancers.A source with knowledge of the events alleges another Swans player, not believed to be one of the so-called ‘Pullman Five’, came to the woman’s aid after she fled into the hotel hallway in the early hours of August 17, a detail not previously reported.The Daily Mail revealed last week how the night after Sydney’s win over Essendon at the MCG descended into chaos when a small group of players hired female entertainers from the ‘Party Girls Melbourne’ agency to celebrate.As dawn broke, teammates, coaches and club officials began gathering in the Pullman East Melbourne foyer in official club attire ahead of the team’s flight home. Families, couples and business travellers were also checking out of the hotel.Upstairs, however, the situation on the eighth floor was beginning to unravel.Unbeknownst to club officials, one of the three women paid to perform private lap dances for the players had become unwell and was suffering from what she believes was carbon dioxide poisoning. It has been confirmed that Swansmen Isaac Heeney, Nick Blakey, Chad Warner, James Jordon and Riley Bice were at the party. They were stood down and banned from the Brownlow Medal The so-called ‘Pullman Five’ allegedly panicked as one of the exotic dancers, who believed that she was suffering from carbon dioxide poisoning due to the stuffy hotel room, dashed into the hallway topless. (Isaac Heeney is pictured with his fiancée Steffie Waters) The Daily Mail previously revealed how the night after Sydney’s win over Essendon at the MCG descended into chaos when a small group of players hired female entertainers to attend the Pullman East Melbourne hotel (pictured)In the hours beforehand, the women had been negotiating fees for dances and bottom slaps with a group they believed were tradesmen after allegedly being told the men were ‘carpenters’.Eventually, the trio would make their way downstairs, where the sea of red jackets and AFL logos would confirm their clients weren’t chippies but well-paid footballers.This discovery, coupled with the dancer’s medical episode, sparked tensions in the lobby as the women made a beeline for coach Dean Cox to complain.Isaac Heeney, Chad Warner, Nick Blakey, Riley Bice and James Jordon were subsequently stood down for the remainder of the AFL season.The Mail can now reveal details of how the women came to arrive at the hotel in the middle of the night, after one of the five men made a booking with the agency.Remarkably, we have been told that one of the three women wasn’t actually a stripper by trade, and was simply on a night out with her friend, who received the job offer. ‘The job was listed in a WhatsApp group chat [of adult entertainers] and requested two girls at the hotel,’ a source with knowledge of the matter told the Mail.’One of the dancers accepted it and told the agent that she would take her mate [who wasn’t a stripper] along because she wanted to get into the industry anyway. ‘She felt sick during the party and she actually thinks it was carbon dioxide poisoning because there were so many people crammed into one room and there wasn’t enough fresh air,’ claimed the insider. (Pictured: A generic photo of a hotel room at the Pullman East Melbourne) According to the insider, an argument broke out after the men asked the dancer to step back inside and put some clothes on. She was later found by another player sitting by the lifts in the hallway.

(Pictured: the Party Girls website which uses stock imagery, not photos of the actual strippers)’The agent disagreed and said she had already booked the second girl, who was one of her regulars, but she ended up just bringing her mate anyway.’This meant that three women eventually arrived at the hotel rather than the two requested by the agency.As the Mail previously reported, the night’s entertainment started pleasantly enough.’Everyone was just chatting to start with and they [the women] asked what they did for work because there were so many of them staying at the same hotel and nine of them crammed into one room [at one stage].’The other four men mentioned by the source have yet to be identified, but there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by them.Indeed, a club spokesman confirmed last week: ‘The Sydney Swans can confirm that all investigations carried out by the club have consistently indicated that the only representatives of the club in the room central to the police investigation were the five players who have been stood down.’The source went on to claim: ‘They [the players] said they were carpenters and working in the area.’Because of their trade, ‘the girls agreed to charge $200 per girl for a lap dance [performance] across all the guys,’ they added.’The girls performed to one song each and moved between the guys.’ It was shortly after the performers had finished their lap dance routine moving between the men that one of the women began feeling unwell. (Stock image posed by model) ‘All five players were high profile and some were in relationships,’ said the source. ‘They really didn’t want to be seen drinking in hotel rooms with strippers during footy season because they had a lot to lose.’ (Pictured: Isaac Heeney with his fiancée Steffie Waters)The source said this kind of performance would usually cost between $250 and $300, on top of the agency’s standard booking fee.’But because it was late and they didn’t think [the men] earned much, they did them a deal and they just wanted to get the job done and leave,’ the insider added.The men paid on the spot and some physical contact was allowed while the dance was taking place, the source claimed.According to the source, some of the men were ‘wasted’, swaying and unsteady on their feet, as the girls shimmied through their routines.At one stage, a woman said that if the players wanted to touch the dancers, they would have to pay more.’One guy agreed to pay an extra $50 to slap her a**e three times,’ said the source.It was shortly after the performers had finished their lap dance routine moving between the men that one of the women began feeling unwell.While the father of the woman in question has previously indicated she suffered from an asthma attack, the Mail’s source now claims something else entirely.’She felt sick during the party and she actually thinks it was carbon dioxide poisoning because there were so many people crammed into one room and there wasn’t enough fresh air,’ claimed the insider.While it is theoretically possible to suffer ill effects from elevated carbon dioxide levels in a crowded, poorly ventilated room, serious cases are considered rare and are more commonly associated with confined spaces where fresh air is limited.Regardless of what caused her distress, the situation escalated when the woman rushed to the door, flung it open and leaned topless into the corridor in search of fresh air. The mood inside the room changed instantly, claimed the source.’All five players were high profile and some were in relationships,’ they said.’They really didn’t want to be seen drinking in hotel rooms with strippers during footy season because they had a lot to lose.’According to the insider, an argument broke out after the men asked the dancer to step back inside and put some clothes on. She then wrapped herself in a hotel dressing gown and left the room, but ended up sitting on the floor by the lifts.It was at this point that another Swans player, who the source indicated may not have been one of the five players named in connection with the hotel incident, was walking down the hallway and saw the woman in distress.’He found her and asked if she was OK,’ said the source. This viral WhatsApp message purports to show the fraught scene in the Pullman East hotel foyer on the morning of Monday, August 17 The women confronted one of the club bosses in the lobby. Previous reports indicate that the representative they spoke to was coach Dean Cox, who is not accused of any wrongdoing’He was pretty shocked when she told him she had been booked by some guys at a party, and he helped her up and walked her back to the room where the others were.’The three women then made their way downstairs, where the situation began to attract even more attention.In the lobby, the woman suffering the suspected medical episode said that she felt dizzy and couldn’t breathe. She tried using an asthma pump, although it is not known if it was hers or one supplied by another person.Her presence soon became noticeable as she waved her arms around and walked in and out of the hotel in search of fresh air, the source alleged.Meanwhile, her friend went back upstairs to collect their belongings left behind at the party.As more Swans players and staff began gathering in the lobby, the woman’s friend returned from the eighth floor and it was only then that she realised why the ‘Pullman Five’ had been so desperate to keep the situation private: they were AFL players.It was at this point that the women confronted one of the club bosses. Previous reports indicate that the representative they spoke to was coach Cox, who is not accused of any wrongdoing. In a remarkable turn of events, a woman at the hotel who was unaware of the drama unfolding around her allegedly approached star player Heeney, whose hood was pulled up, and politely asked him to pose for a photo with her child.Heeney obliged, claimed the source, but asked her not to use the camera flash.Unbeknownst to the mother, the photo also captured one of the women in the background during the heated exchange with a club official.As the bizarre scene continued to unravel, more guests began to take notice of what was going on. At least one person present in the lobby took a photo, which was later widely circulated on WhatsApp.’I’m at the Pullman in Melbourne and three girls [are] getting kicked out… And one of them said to the guy, “We have everything recorded,”‘ read the viral message. Heeney’s fiancée Steffie Waters was seen looking stressed while speaking on the phone in Noosa on August 21. She was later pictured in happier spirits during a trip to the beachThe women made calls to their agent as well as police and, according to the source, were eventually asked to leave the hotel.The dramatic scenes at the hotel were followed by serious allegations the next day.Two women made police complaints alleging sexual assault. Later in the week, the third woman also made a police report with similar claims.The Daily Mail does not suggest any of the named Swans players are under police investigation or involved in any wrongdoing alleged by the women.No charges have been laid.The Mail also understands that all three women, who have separately engaged civil lawyers, were told by police they were not allowed to have any contact with one another while investigations were ongoing.When contacted for comment on Monday, Victoria Police said there was no update.
