Dane Swan

[PP34]

Is he injured?

He's been below his best in the past few weeks.

 

[Tas]

He looks like he is looking forward to retirement.

 

[Pie in the Sky]

Hope so, he's been pretty lazy this year.

 

[Run n Spread]

Had some great games early. Having a slump now. Injuries are actually hurting him as he is feeling the strain of carrying the increased load. He should pick up as the year goes on.

 

[Zach Package]

I can see into Dane's not too distant future, and it doesn't look pretty

 

[alexmcd]

He was hardly in the midfield on friday night. I still think he gives 100%, it just doesnt appear to external viewers.

I guess it is up to his club whether he is putting 100% in it or not.

I'd trade my life with Ron Jeremy any day of the week. Gets paid a f*** ton of money to have sex with ridiculously hot women. Stupid comment.

The pig is dead. Long live the pig.

 

[WhteOakdisciple]

be playing forward

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

So he has to get >35 touches to even rate a pass?

Where was the rest of the midfield?

The pies have an injury list a mile long ATM.

The ball was coming out of the Collingwood fwd line very easily. The Q could have been subbed just as easily as Witts.

They had two defenders on Cloke all night and still went to him nearly every time, where is plan B?

Also, the Swans moved the ball quickly. So Swanny can't catch Lewis Jetta? he's not alone.

Where did I imply about him needing to get more than 35 touches to get a pass?

There's a lot of attention on performance enhancing drugs in sport.

Dane Swan suddenly becomes a very average player

"You can't catch me, i'm too smart"

Interesting.

 

[Superstar swan]

Dane swan is still playing well, his work ethic may have dropped a little but he's still an elite midfielder

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Well how do you define 'his best'? or even 'reasonable game'?

Below his best in kicks?, effective kicks?, tackles?, shepherds?, centre clearances?

Will work on the reading.

25-30 disposals with a big impact on matches.

 

[Seedsman_]

Been very average this year, looks like he can't be stuffed playing.

Add this to the list of ridiculously nondescript thread titles that have been popping up on the MB lately

He did say he wanted to finish at 30 how old is he now?

I'm merely asking is there is anything wrong with him. It makes for an interesting thread.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Playing forward too much because, beyond Cloke, they have stuff all down there. Even when in the midfield he hasn't been anywhere near his best. Clearances, total disposals, marks and contested possessions have all dropped off. Plus his kicking has been as shocking as ever recently, 30% by foot last night. I don't think he's injured; his defensive running is just relatively non-existent this year. Nowhere near the player he was at his peak at the moment, and as others have said, he's probably looking towards life after football already.

And my SuperCoach team is hating it.

 

[Mateyman]

Got us back in the game vs Fremantle. He will come back.

So why not make the thread title "Is Dane Swan injured?" or "Is there anything wrong with Dane Swan?" I'm not having a dig, it just looks like a 'catch-all' thread

 

[Bob Fossil]

Where is Dane Swan at?

 

[Tas]

He did say he wanted to finish at 30 how old is he now?

Turned 29 in Feb.

 

[the distributer]

He did say he wanted to finish at 30 how old is he now?

He's gone on record recently as saying he will play as long as Collingwood allow him too.
