It’s official — Collingwood Football Club has confirmed that former AFL superstar Dane Swan has been inducted into the Collingwood Hall of Fame, recognizing his incredible contribution to the club both on and off the field. The announcement was made during an emotional ceremony at the club’s annual awards night, drawing a standing ovation from players, staff, and fans alike.
Swan, a Brownlow Medalist and five-time All-Australian, is widely regarded as one of the greatest midfielders of his era.
