Welcome to Westmeadows Dane Swan

[NT.Thunder]

Finally got a welcome thread in front of TradeDraft - booyah!

Dane Swan pulling the boots on again, would be great to go and watch. Was one of my favorite players at Collingwood of all time and a legend.

Literally logged on this morning just to come and tell everyone who lives in the northern suburbs of Melbourne to come watch Swanny next year They're in the division above my local side, but I'll still be getting to at least one game!

No welcome to Jack Madgen yet... I'd do it, but someone with 100k posts is not someone who I want to piss off.

But the campaigner said he couldn't play anymore because of the pain i was hopeing he made a comeback for next season but it isn't to be.

I doubt he'llbe running 16 kms for Westmeadows. He'll be lucky to leave the goalsquare!

Old habbits die hard.

He is an idiot playing again with that foot.

Sheer publicity stunt...wonder how many games he will actually play..

^This.

He’ll play as a stay at home forward. Probably won’t leave the 50 and end up kicking 100 goals.

Hardly, Swanny doesn't strike me as the type of guy to do it for publicity. More like he's doing it because he gets to have beers with his mates a few times a week

And this will help him stay fit so his tatts don't get stretched out of shape

Nah it's a stunt by the club... I really don't think Swanny needs an excuse to have a few beers with his mates

surprised he is allowed to play following the insurance pay out.

Life insurance?

Maybe if he re-aggravates the injury he can make no further claims on his life insurance?

Didn't think the injury was that bad

His only issue would be if he provided false or misleading claims about the extent of the injury

he got a payout when he retired due to injury. bucks was joking about last Friday night on twitter with swanny during the draft.

 

[Tazzaye]

5 min walk away, looking forward to it

Or he's just a normal person who wants to have fun

Never saw him as an idiot

So before I clicked on this thread, I thought, here is a nice "feel good thread" about a former Club great who wants to play a little bit of suburban footy with his mates. I thought, no one could possibly find anything negative in a thread like this

Then I realised I was on the Collingwood forum of Big Footy

I know someone who had almost the identical injury, came back to footy 18 months later, played about 6 games now gets pain through his foot daily, walks with a limp.

If that's risk he wants to take then so be it
