Swan’s Career and Lifestyle
Swan, known for his enjoyment of betting, gained a reputation as a prominent figure during his AFL career. In 2019, he admitted to discreetly consuming alcohol during team recovery sessions during his playing days.
“I turned up, no matter,” Swan said. “I remember sitting (at the club) there in recovery one morning at like 9am. I’d been at a party. I left the party, grabbed a Gatorade bottle, filled it up three quarters Gatorade, one quarter vodka and sat on the bikes doing recovery drinking vodka Gatorade – just waiting to go back to the party.”
Swift’s followers seemed enthusiastic about his proposal

Swan stated he was compelled to drink during the recovery session.
“If I hadn’t have topped up I would’ve been f**ked by the time I got back to the party, and I wouldn’t have gone. And the unfortunate thing was the party was at my house, so there was nothing I could do about it. I had to go.”
