BREAKING: Former Collingwood Legend Dane Swan Finally Gets Inducted into the ‘Collingwood Hall of Fame’ Class 2025 for His Iconic and Stellar Pies Career
In a moment that Collingwood fans have long awaited, Dane Swan has been officially inducted into the Collingwood Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. The legendary midfielder, renowned for his explosive style of play, will now have his name etched among the club’s greatest-ever players. This honour comes just one year after Swan’s induction into the prestigious AFL Hall of Fame in 2024, solidifying his place as one of the most impactful figures in Australian rules football.
Swan, who spent his entire illustrious career at Collingwood, is widely regarded as one of the club’s finest players. With his extraordinary skill set, tenacity, and ability to consistently perform in big games, Swan became the heart and soul of the Pies during his 258-game career from 2003 to 2016. His achievements, which include a Norm Smith Medal in 2010, an AFL Premiership with the Magpies in the same year, and multiple All-Australian selections, have cemented his legacy both within the club and the broader football community.
The induction ceremony will take place later this year, with Collingwood president Jeff Browne and coach Craig McRae leading the celebrations for Swan, who has now joined the ranks of football immortality. Fans, former teammates, and the wider Collingwood community are expected to turn out in force to honour a player who gave so much to the club, with his remarkable career and off-field personality making him an enduring favourite.
For Swan, this latest honour represents a career that has spanned the ultimate heights of football achievement, from individual accolades to collective team success. It is a fitting recognition for a man whose name will forever be synonymous with the success and culture of the Collingwood Football Club. As he takes his place in the Collingwood Hall of Fame, Swan’s legacy continues to inspire the next generation of football stars.
