Swanny was an absolute champion footballer, yet most of all I loved/love his salt of the earth personality, no BS and dry sense of humour. Simply one of a kind. Huge congratulations to him.

Dane Swan joins the Australian Football Hall of Fame
2010 Premiership player Dane Swan has been inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame.www.collingwoodfc.com.au
Fitting reward for a stellar career.
Only thing left for him to do is to start breeding. His parents deserve lots and lots of little Swanny grandkids.

^ Molly, he's well on the way. He has a 3 year old son and year old twin girls. 
Congratulations Swanny well deserves absolutely a champion of not just Collingwood but the game.
Agree with others 2nd to Buckley as the best pie I've seen, Pendles 3rd and young Nick making a great start to one day join them.

That 5-6 year peak of his was simply unbelievable. As good as any midfielder ever I'd say. Well earned

Apologies if the intrusion isn't welcome but just wanted to say how well deserved this is.
I lost count of the number of ANZAC Day games he used to dominate, not to mention all those finals.
Fantastic player over the journey and it's good to see him recognised as such.

Agree.
His peak would be 2009-2013, but 2006-2008 and 2014-2015 was more than respectable.

Love Swanny, but his whole "I hated training, loved partying" is a bit overdone. You don't play 258 games, including 8 straight seasons of 20+ games, without doing a power of work.
I just watched his acceptance speech.
OMG the GOAT speech. Geez that was so funny and sincere.

He’s the Rob Gronkowski of the AFL. Hates meetings but is an extreme competitor and is driven by playing and succeeding with his mates.

Absolutely unstoppable in his prime. Shame injuries forced him to retire early, I was certain he was going to finish his career as a 40+ goal forward.

I won’t be happy till his family ride is a Toyota Coaster.
Girls^ Molly, he's well on the way. He has a 3 year old son and year old twin girls.
Shame not all boys!

AFLW draft Swan prospects.
Good thing to keep an eye on if and when the twins are draft eligible.
Absolutely!

IIRC back in his playing days players used to challenge each other to somehow put certain words into their speeches or interviews and see if anyone noticed. That’s probably what happened here. Difficult one to hide.
