Mere hours after returning from Bali, Dane Swan took control of Collingwood's official Twitter account, @CollingwoodFC.
For the next 120 minutes, the Brownlow Medallist entertained the Magpie Army as he tweeted them through Friday night's win over Fremantle.
This is how it unfolded.
I'll be live tweeting the pies game tonight over on the @CollingwoodFC Twitter page. Gonna be plenty of insightful footy speak

That's obviously @masonsixtencox basketball background coming out there.....
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
I'm also noticing a few slick new haircuts out there tonight. Boys obviously put the bye to good use
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
I like varcoe's idea to lock the ball in fwd half by kicking it out on the full. #footysmarts
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Treloar on the same page as Varcoe too. Sticking with the game plan. They can't score if it stays up our end
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Ditto for crisp

Clearly Levi just out there doing his own thing kicking goals..
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Great pressure by all the boys tonight been locked In our half all night and I'm hungry so gonna get some food and maybe a sneaky

Loved clokeys and Brodie's competing tonight. Makes a huge difference for us when they are good.. Couldn't ask for a better start
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
To the people that made it down to the G tonight . Especially the 44 who are in the middle
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Nice by that young kid to kick his first goal.. I'll have to meet him Monday
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016

— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Jordy is gonna be a very good player for us for a long time..
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
That Walters is pretty nippy and can play but it seems
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Like clokeys unselfishness to put that ball out of bounds instead of marking it.. Great team footy
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Think our backs have been awesome tonight.Really set up well and stopped freos attack..I have 8% battery so a quick charge and I'll be back

— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Not sure how I feel about the boys wearing long sleeves but I'll give em a pass tonight if they have a second half like the first
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
A lot of people are asking if lifting a beer or wine counts as weights. Well in short - yes
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Quick update @elliott_jw for ya. It's 52-17 and the ball is on the wing

— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
How Long has the time counted down on the fencing along the boundary?? When did that become a thing?? Or am I making things up??
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
I thought "Dane Swan LIVE" was a new talk show hosted by Swanny. For the record, would watch. (cc: @CollingwoodFC, @Channel7)
— Scott Dooley (@scottdools) June 24, 2016
@scottdools @Channel7 you wanna be my co host Dools? Obviously have to be filmed in New York
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Hey @elliott_jw it's 3qtr so I guess the ball is with the umpires in the middle. It's an ad so I can't give you the score though
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
No worries Richo.. Might see if I can use the afl's Twitter account for my end of season trip tweets. nothing but scones and tea @Channel7
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
Lovely feet movement by Reidy.. Must of been the ballet dancing he has been working on..
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016

— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
That was never in doubt. Trav loves em from there. All day
— Dane Swan LIVE (@CollingwoodFC) June 24, 2016
