Collingwood great Dane Swan has been busy in isolation, listing the best two sides he has played with over his career... with a twist.

Swan revealed on his Hump Day with Swanny & Friends podcast his best on-field side as well as an off-field 22 of players he has played with.

“With the off-field side, it’s not all about who can go out and drink the most and f**k up and go on a five-day bender,” he explained.

“I wouldn’t have put a s**t bloke in either side. I wouldn’t put a bloke I dislike in either side.”
