Thread starter #26

hopefully if he does make it to 300 the club can get STAR to make a special edition 'Swanny' Jersey with tattoo designs intergrated into it.

Would love to see him get to 300. It'll be touch and go, but if anyone deserves to get there, its Swanny. His list of achievements at Collingwood will have him in the very top echelon of players at the club. He is already, but 300 games would just top it off imo.

Grew up watching Port Melbourne games, and my favourite player was BIlly Swan, so was stoked when we got Dane.
Followed him closely from day one, and like many fans, he quickly became my favourite player .

Would love to see Dane finish on over 300 games. There's no reason he can't. He plays well up forward, and can cameo in the guts.

Will be gutted when he calls it a day.

An absolute champion.

2:12 one of my favourite goals.
There's a few nice ones in there, that's for sure. I'm still loving the one around 3:20 when he's run through that pack on Anzac day and swiped away one of the Essendon boys trying to bring him to ground. I don't think many people realise how hard it would be to pull that off and not lose your balance or speed, or end
up on your arse as a result.

I think most players who pull off a palm like that generally have to change directions at the very least, to basically just run through him is just unbelievable. Reminds of my junior footy where there would be 2 players who just run through everybody else.

Was that in the members forum? I missed that. Good news anyhoo, he was a handful up there.

So Coleman plus Brownlow but no mention of a Norm Smith, wheres the optimism?

EDIT: Also I wasn't aware Hine has a say in such things, thought the match committee was only coaches plus maybe Balme
Not in the 15.24 of his presentation I watched. No mention of Swan playing forward, no mention of trading Witts.

I think Swanny could play on in 2017 but would expect him to make that call based on his form in 2016.

Yeah lol... I started really liking soccer all of a sudden in year 9 after I played against this one kid who I was convinced was lying about his age and must have been kept back 5 or so years.
I dont think l even went to kick the footy at lunchtime on that oval again during highschool lol.
The only thing that lessened the shame was recognising him running round for West Coast a few years later.
