Collingwood champion and Brownlow medallist Dane Swan has been inducted into the Australian Football Hall of Fame. On a night when Hawthorn’s champion goal-kicker Jason Dunstall was due to officially be elevated to Legend status, Swan was the fourth inductee at Tuesday’s gala event in Melbourne. But his special honour was slightly spoiled by the club after it accidentally released the information four hours before the event.
“The club apologises for this technical error.” While Collingwood may have accepted it blew the surprise, Swan also unwittingly acted as a spoiler as well. The 40-year-old took to Instagram a few hours before the event and posted a photo of himself dressed in a dazzling suit and surrounded by frocked-up friends. “Just a quiet Tuesday night,” Swan said in the caption. Fans, of course, immediately knew what was happening. “Congratulations legend,” one fan wrote.
