 Has turned out be an absolute legend! I remember him showing a few signs in 2004 and what a steep curve he's drawn ever since.2005-2011 a championm of the game and our club. Watching our young blokes come through and the new midfield develop he goes unoticed and then out of the blue, his contrubution hits you when executes footy gems only he is capable of doing! I hope he can hang be part of our next flag in the non so distant future! |

This thread is hilarious but I understand the sentiments that were shared about Dane during his early playing days.
He really started emerging into a great player from 2006 onwards in my view but the signs were there during 2004-2005 however.

I consider myself honoured to have seen this man's playing career. He is the new Rene Kink. People will speak about him for years to come, and not just those from our club, but AFL supporters as a whole. Stories of Swanny will become football folklore. He epitomises the traditional footballer to me. No standout physical attributes, but the heart and want of a champion. You see players like Pendles and Gaz, the way they go about it with their professionalism in regards to dieting, training and all other facets of preparation, and then there's our Swanny. Looks like he can't be stuffed, but gives every bit of himself until he's absolutely buggered, week in, week out. God I love him.

Nothing gets a bigger roar from the crowd when Swannie waddles in to goal to put the mighty Maggies in front during the last quarter of a close game!
The roar when he did it again against the Hawks was spine tingling.
Lets hope we get many more opportunities to roar appreciation again over the rest of the Great Dane's super career.

Excellent post. Strongly agree with you. How can anyone NOT love our dear old Swanny?

I will never, ever forget watching Swanny run in to an open goal in the dying seconds at Subiaco against West Coast in "that" extra time Semi Final in '07. I can't watch that game again without getting a lump in my throat. The courage and fight on display from our boys that night was captured in that last 3 seconds as 36 dribbled one through and the siren went as he rounded the point post, fists in the air, knowing he was part of something special. He's part of us, and always will be. Love ya Swanny.

In the pantheon of not only Collingwood champions, but AFL champions the man in the number 36 jumper more than holds his own among the games' elite. Last night he passed several great names in career Brownlow votes.
Dane Swan. The thinking person's footballer.

Well done 3rd.
Side note, I just misread your location as "John Wrens Scrote" and recalled the Bonds ad on TV with the two blokes playing testicles.
I know, my brain is strange. I'll get a drink now.
