Indefensible.

I heard that Copeland bloke was a real scallywag back in the days.

Keep posing, princess. Spend less time trying to look like a tough ****, and pay the man you brain damaged. Typical Collingwood tatooed dero.
Such a waste of talent.

You need to learn your Carlton history a bit better. John Nicholls did jail time for assisting in a bank robbery, much like that South Melbourne Hellas soccer player recently.
Please, tell us more. Anything to avoid discussing Dane Swan and his merry men.

No avoidance here Bazza. Not very savy with the Swan issue here, but I think it's a tad hypocritical for supporters of a club, who name their B&F after a convicted criminal & is the only club in VFL/AFL history to have players suspended by the league for match fixing (1 of the players be found gulity of match fixing by the VFL was awarded with Carlton life membership) to sit in their ivory towers
I love Collingwood just like the rest of our supporters, but if what is reported here is true, it's pretty disappointing.
However, i can't help but to the think all of the facts aren't in this story. We rarely get the whole story anyway, but i would have thought if he had a legally binding contract he wouldn't be able to get away with not paying regardless of who he is.
Like most pies supporters, i've known about this story for a while, and tried to follow what i could. I'd much prefer to hear Swan aknowledge what he did was wrong, and move heaven and Earth to make sure he could atone for his actions. Remember he was a kid when this was done. Again I'm not defending him, I'm just saying i'd love it if he acted differently.
I'm going to continue following this, and hopefully all the facts come out and we see a better outcome.
I'm a big fan of Swan the player, and i thought he was a pretty stand up guy from everything I've seen. This would certainly be enough to change my view if true.
Disappointed pie fan.......

Hypocrticial or not, I think we can both agree that Carlton cops their right whack both on BF and otherwise. So no point in tip-toeing around this issue just because Carlton may or may not have had a shady past.
This Dane Swan story, is a separate issue altogether.
Well said.
Tends to be society now that people in general (not just celebrities) are getting away with more and more low acts.
The AFL should definately consider stepping in on this one and add some community work with victims of assault and brain damage and force more money into organisations to help these people to maybe hit it further home that this thug should be in jail for what he did... no excuses.
Not a crack at Collingwood FC, so don't get all up on your high horse Pie fans, just Swan as a human-being (if he can be called that), I would feel the same if a Carlton player was involved.
I have a best mate who was a victim of an unprovoked assault and I can tell you it rips to the core, I can't imagine what this blokes friends and family did/do go through every day of their lives...
Perhaps you should stop being a sheep & find out what the REAL rumour about him was.
Bank robbery eh ?
I assume he did 10 years & it is easily verifiable & not just an internet urban legend.
I'd reaaaaalllly love to see the proof you have of it. Or are you bleating
100k buys a lot of tats.

He has a criminal conviction/has done jail time. It is no rumour, it's even acknowledged by your own supporters/club. The son of Laurie Kerr (who also played for Carlton) represented Big "Nick", he's a close family friend from School.
The only rumours I know of surround Jimmy Buckley & the Dominator, which was aired by himself last year.
"convicted criminal"No avoidance here Bazza.

Apprently of bank Robbery according to the sheep better known as "Panther"
There should be information on this everywhere so perhaps you could table it for us.
Or are you just full of shit

Not that I believe it but his name is here and there is stuff on wikipedia

There have been rumours that Nicholls did some time for embezzlment from an employer & he was allowed out to play on weekends.
bank robbery would be bullshit.
Perhaps Panther would like to discuss Des Tuddenham & his stolen goods convictions.

You don't go to the "Big House" for petty crimes such as "embezzlment from an employer" & organized price fixing/cartels

If you look at the list one of those guys went to "the big house" for opening his shop on a Saturday, so those crimes are possible
This Panther character is just deflecting guys... keep on track. No one club is totally clean, I admit that. But we are seeing new lows with Swan. Scum.

This is such bullshit
who is to say this guy didnt start them first?
and everyone just assumes it was all swans fault
its takes 2 to tango this guy is just another money hungry yobbo who probally intentionally got into a fight with someone of fame just to milk some media attention and sypathy from the general public and its has worked.
