Fox Footy expert Paul Roos says Collingwood teammates would be 'getting sick' of Dane Swan's antics
UPDATE: Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has defended star midfielder Dane Swan in the wake of Paul Roos declaring the Magpies would be "getting sick" of his antics.
"I think we handle Swanny pretty well, he enjoys the environment," Buckley told Nova 100.
Swan's rocky relationship with Collingwood was strained further recently when he gave a paid television interview without the club's permission

"I thought that he and his management made a poor decision not to notify the footy club. And, it's pretty clear it was not with the club's best interests in mind and Swanny was fined accordingly," Buckley said.
"In the end Dane Swan is training really well at the footy club. We have progressed on what we saw from his preseason last year."
"Most of the boys are in that situation. We are really looking forward to hitting the season with a full head of steam, Swanny and every player at the footy club is looking forward to our footy doing the talking rather than responding to headlines.

"Wherever (Swan) was last year he is in better shape this year... and that's all you can ever ask for in a player."
Last night, Roos suggested Swan and Magpie Dale Thomas' contract negotiations threatened to derail Collingwood's premiership campaign.
While Thomas, who is known to be Swan's closest friend at the Magpies, then came out yesterday to declare he'll "never say never" about signing at another club, adding he has got to get "money in the pocket."
Roos said it was a growing issue for Collingwood and could hurt them in the way the Travis Cloke contract issue disrupted the club last year.
"I think Collingwood are extremely well placed to win a premiership this year," Roos said on Fox Footy's On the Couch last night

"But if you have players that don't want to conform to your team ethos...I would suggest there would be some players at the Collingwood Football Club that would be getting sick of Dane Swan."
Roos, who was pivotal in establishing in Sydney's famous culture, said Swan was the main aggravator at Collingwood.
But he also targeted Thomas, who he said should know better.
"They know they are playing for a big football club- everything they do and say is going to be analysed," Roos said.
"We saw it last year with Cloke

"I was concerned with Thomas the comments he made."
It is no secret Thomas is very close to Carlton coach Mick Malthouse.
He has also has strong ties to Carlton chief executive and former Magpie Greg Swann, whose family he lived with a short time in his early days with the club.
Roos said all these comments added up when trying to win a premiership.
"You have to understand what you're saying - you're playing for the biggest football team in Australia

"You know, even if they're tongue and cheek, someone is going to take them and put them in some sort of context.
"You have to be careful," he said.
