The Collingwood Football Club can confirm that Dane Swan was the victim of an unprovoked attack while out with friends after Saturday’s game against St Kilda.

Dane was struck in the mouth by an individual he’d never met before, causing minor damage to his teeth. As required Dane left the scene immediately, contacted the club and returned home. The dentist who attended to Dane has advised the club that the treatment Dane received will in no way impact on his ability to train or play.

The club won’t be taking any action and won’t be commenting further.
