He’s way too humble about his ability’s. Im a die hard eagles supporter, but this dude should have been HOF his first year of eligibility, he was so dominant from 09-13. I know everyone says Pendlebury is the greatest pie, but for me it’s swanny. I will never forget that 2012 ANZAC day match, he just dominated like I hadn’t seen a midfielder at the time. Now I hope that the AFL does the right thing and puts Cousins in the HOF.
@@tyvile586normal people say it to the person face to face. Notva cowardly youtube comment because you have nothing. I am sure you have no skeletons in your closet.
@@tyvile586 We are all young and stupid and regret things we did. You don't know the whole story so shut your mouth. He turned his life around and has accomplished more in his life than you have. You have to try and put others down to make yourself feel better. Says more about you as a person than Swanny. Well deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. Again, something you will never achieve in your pathetic life.
I’m a Dees fan, but honestly that was a brilliant acceptance speech. Dane is Dane no matter where he is or who is there. Honest as the day is long (well night in Danes case 🤣). This speech and Jeff Thompsons cricket HoF speech were great
Congratulations Swanny on your induction. If there is a deserving champion to have his place in this inner circle of elite to play the game, its Dane Swan.
Can't top the Chief getting the top gong. Totally enjoyed his footy and post-footy careers. But if there's an award for best bridesmaid.....Swanny gets it hands-down. 👏👏👏👏
Congratulations, Dane, but if you’re getting a Hall of Fame induction and Carey and Ablett still keep theirs, there is now no excuse for Cousins not getting one.
I’m a one eyed Tiger supporter & all I can say is..Swanny should’ve played in the Yellow & Black!!..he’s too good a bloke to have played for the Pies?..Onya Swanny.
His father is too. I watched Swanny senior playing for Port every week in the Fred Cook years. Won 3 or 4 flags, then he went to Williamstown. A family of football legends.
Ignoring all the disgusting things he's done in the past? This bloke is an embarrassment to Australia, not just football. Don't get me wrong, he was incredible at footy but he's a very questionable bloke.
as a person he's skeezy. only 3 years ago, i was at a hotel in south melbourne, he was there with a bunch of guys, i turned my back for a minute and next time i look back, my drinks had disappeared. low class behavour.
Convicted criminal. Not sure how he got in. And for people to laugh when he said 'I got arrested' is in pretty poor taste. Do they realise he contributed to a cleaner getting permanent brain damage in that incident?
Never a blemish for you hey Andrew ? No second chance for you either if you’ve made one. If you listened, he touched on where he was and where he is now. Most of us will grow into better people and he shows that.
@@crispbuilding It's not so much that he made a mistake. It's that he never showed any remorse. When asked if he would do things differently, he has answered No. I just think that's a poor look. I respect your comment though.
Should never be inducted when players like Hodge, Franklin and Rioli arent there but Dane Swan does cocaine and plays for pies so who knows 😂 he can make AFL hall of fame, wouldn't Touch Hawthorns, Legitimately.
Not doubting for a second that he is a great player, but if you think a man who is involved in bashing a security guard , kicking him in the head while he is down in a group, leaving the man with permanent brain injuries and on top, bailing from paying compo and not showing a inch of remorse, if you think they deserve hall of fame recognition, you need to get a grip on reality.
Hall of fame is based on sport not incidents outside of sport. Imagine if everyone judged you on the worst thing you’ve done? Get your head out of your arse.
Thanks for your comment. I wasn’t aware of the details of the incident and his failures of duty beyond. I have confirmed what you have mentioned here and in an instant my view of him has been altered. I personally have no time for cowards who run from their responsibilities and being accountable for their behaviour. And to then to clearly express no remorse and no regret is simply reprehensible.
@@SilentHotdog28why not? Brownlow medallist, 3 time best and fairest winner, 5 time all Australian. Premiership winner, afl mvp winner, afl coaches association champion of the year, 2 time Anzac Day medallist and a few other awards too. Kicked over 200 goals as well.
There's always the one, and you're the one. Real blokes love Swanny, even those who don't barrack for Collingwood. They can relate to him. Unfortunately, he is probably not every "nancy" boys cup of tea.
I'm an Essendon supporter & you can't help but love Swanny... A genuine hilarious down to earth bloke ... Pure Gold
Doesn't matter who you barrack for, pretty sure everyone loves Swanny. Well deserved HOF, was a great player

Probably the best thing Mic has accomplished to make Swanny great player and a better person
3 time premiership coach and 1 time premiership player.
Swanny's an absolute scumbag dont think Mic made him much of a better person
Better person far more important
Absolute legend. I was even honoured to get a photo with him when he played for my local team
@@SilentHotdog28 And still his best accomplishment was guiding Swanny into being such a great person.
He doesn't seem to realise how good he was!
Brisbane fan here but glad to see Swanny in the Hall of Fame. One of the best midfielders of his era.
Hilarious 😆😆 you have just got to love Swanny what character,so down to earth and honest,on ya Swanny you deserve it congratulations 🎉🎉🤍🖤🤍🖤🏆🏅🏉⭐
Such a humble, down to earth bloke.
Gotta be the most "normal" successful person ever
One of the few that don't put on a persona in public
Normal people dont bash people into a coma

I absolutely love Dane's candid and honest responses... He was a fantastic player that did amazing things for collingwood!
Best Hall of Fame speech ever.
We Love you Swanny.
Well done Swanny .. from a Crows man
Absolute legend of the game. Was an honor to see your career Swanny
Dead set fucking legend.
"I sh*t myself too, just listening to this speech! Swanny always keeps it real and hilarious! 😂🎉"
Congrats to Dane Swan, was an absolute joy to watch.
Love this guy, definitely well deserved.

Congratulations Swanny on your induction. If there is a deserving champion to have his place in this inner circle of elite to play the game, its Dane Swan.
absolute champion
Nah Dane's a legend to be fair 😂
Congratulations.
Our Great Dane 🖤🤍
"You get back from those lunches a day or two later" - Only THIS MAN can get away with saying that. Football misses you Dane.
Careful Swanny - you’re a Hall of Famer now and being a Pie they’ll say the system is broken and corrupt
Should take this out on the road, he has a future in comedy and he could play footy. And I am a Carlton man so no bias just respect.
Can't top the Chief getting the top gong. Totally enjoyed his footy and post-footy careers. But if there's an award for best bridesmaid.....Swanny gets it hands-down. 👏👏👏👏
he has cool parents
The BEST ever lol
You leave that lunch a day or two later 🤣
Dane Swan fair dinkum unbelievable 😂😂❤😂😂❤😂😂😂❤❤😂❤❤❤
Congratulations, Dane, but if you’re getting a Hall of Fame induction and Carey and Ablett still keep theirs, there is now no excuse for Cousins not getting one.
Agree cousins deserves to be hall of fame from a pie supporter
Dane was an explosive player, very attacking and I was so disappointed when he announced retirement after the ankle injury in 2015.

@@victorpeirce4753 ok. Was close.
Really champion of the game, always was a breath of fresh air compared to the sterile AFL world that exists
A footballer’s footballer.
Nice one 😆

You don't need to tell people it was hilarious. People can judge for themselves.

Not that best at his position, but his best wasn't far off. Well deserved, swanny
The only two players who were better then him in that time period are Ablett and Judd. They are both already in the hall of fame buddy.
@@Comatosedpeanut He had his moments, but he wasn't the best at his position and that's just a fact.

This is crazy, much better players have missed out on hall of fame, Swanny was good but hall of fame really
Like who?
He was an absolute gun, ill bet you just hate the pies.

Nobody forced you to watch it mate.

you're the real goose here. This award and video is focusing on his career, not his personality.

Footy needs all types mate not just private school boys
Had the chance to work in the same company as his lovely mum Dee and watched his dad Bill play during his great days at Port Melbourne.
Despite his habit of verbally abusing us each time we faced Collingwood, I hold a particular place in my heart for Swanny.
