Five Sydney Swans players who were stood down for the rest of the season over breaches of club standards have issued an apology to their club, fans and the wider community.

In a statement on behalf of Riley Bice, Nick Blakey, Isaac Heeney, James Jordon and Chad Warner, the players said they were "deeply sorry to everyone involved".

The players were banned by the Swans for breaches of standards and expected behaviour after they stayed out late drinking and brought women back to the team hotel after the game against Essendon on Sunday night.

"We know that our behaviour has fallen well short of the standards expected of us and the values of our club," they said.

The five said that they accepted the club's sanction and apologised for the impact on those involved.
