AFL Brownlow Medallist Dane Swan was the star of the show as the Riddell District Football League kicked off on Saturday.
Swan pulled on the jumper for the Western Rams for their season opener against local rivals Melton Centrals. The match was played as a standalone game, with a big crowd to watch Swan and the Rams.
While known for his inside work, Swan spent most of the game in the back half, finding plenty of the ball. He was named in the Rams best as the side proved no match for Centrals.
Swan then stayed at the club for a sold out sportsman’s night, which the club was hoping would help them raise funds for the season ahead.
