Who is Dane Swan?
Dane Swan is a professional Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Collingwood Football Club in the Australian Football League. Swan was drafted at number 58 in the 2001 AFL Draft, and made his debut two years later. Despite having a slow start to his career, being unable to hold down a spot in the side for the bulk of his first three seasons, Swan has since become recognised as one of the greatest midfielders of the modern era. Since his breakout season in 2007, Swan has become a premiership player, a Brownlow Medallist, a three-time Copeland Trophy recipient, and a five-time All-Australian, and in 2010, won the Leigh Matthews Trophy as the league's Most Valuable Player. Swan known as a "Disposal Magnet" and a "Prolific Ball Winner" currently averages 26.92 disposals over his whole career which is number 1 in the AFL since stats were recorded, narrowly averaging 0.04 more disposals than Greg Williams.
