SYDNEY is still facing a $25,000 fine if they breach the interchange rules, according to AFL general manager of football operations Adrian Anderson.
Anderson has confirmed the Swans have a $25,000 penalty hanging over their heads for the next two years should they be found to have 19 players on the field.
Sydney will be fined even if a player enters the field a stride before his teammate comes off, or if a player enters the field before his rotation is approved by the AFL interchange steward.
The AFL revamped the interchange laws in the wake of Sydney briefly having 19 players on the field in the dying stages of their draw with North Melbourne in round six.
The league fined the Swans $50,000, with half the penalty suspended for 24 months.
