The Sydney Swans extend our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of those killed in the horror that unfolded at Bondi Junction on Saturday.

There are no words to adequately capture the devastation and loss that has occurred, at a place that is so familiar to many at our club.

We are all shocked and have heavy hearts as we join the community in grieving the loss of innocent lives. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the victims, those who are still undergoing treatment, and everyone impacted.

This traumatic event will be felt by our community for some time to come.

We are working to support our staff and players who have been affected, and we are here to support our wider Sydney Swans family. We encourage anyone deeply troubled by this tragedy to seek support through services such as Lifeline.

As a small gesture and mark of respect, our teams will wear black armbands in matches this weekend, while we will pause to pay tribute ahead of our AFL match against the Gold Coast at the SCG on Sunday. Our March to the Match will not go ahead this weekend.
