Collingwood legend Dane Swan has discussed whether he ever considered leaving the club during his playing career.
On his podcast Hump Day with Scotty & Swanny, Swan joked that laziness was a major factor in his decision remain a Magpie.
โShort answer is no, from my end. I was never gonna leave,โ he said.
โMy name was probably thrown up for trade, Iโve got no idea, youโd have to ask the footy club.
โI was too lazy, to be honest, to leave. I was very comfortable at the Pies, probably a little too comfortable. I knew what I could and couldnโt get away with.
โWhen you go to a new club, you have to impress and in pre-season you have to do everything.
โYou have to try and work hard and be out on the track, that wasnโt me.
โI love Collingwood, thatโs one of the reasons. I loved all the people there, I was comfortable there, I lived 15 minutes away.โ
Swan went on to talk about what he would have done if a move became necessary.
โIf I was ever going to (leave), I would have only liked to have gone to another state,โ he said.
โJust to see what footy was like in Sydney.โ
Collingwood fans will be glad to hear of Swanโs comfort at the club given the success that he and the club had, including a premiership and Brownlow Medial.
