AFL bad boy Dane Swan is SACKED from KIIS FM Melbourne

Retired AFL star Dane Swan has been sacked from Melbourne breakfast show Jase and PJ on KIIS FM.

The 36-year-old joined the radio show in January as a regular commentator one day a week.

However, the former Collingwood star revealed on his Hump Day with Swanny & Friends podcast, he was recently informed the station no longer required him.

‘They rang me, I think it was after my Tweet, when I used the word c**t. I think it was maybe turning up drunk or not turning up at all or turning up on a Monday morning with my sunny disposition at like 6:30am,’ he said.

‘To be fair, I enjoyed the five minutes I was on air with them, they were all very nice people, but at the end of this footy season I was going to tell my manager’s manager I can’t do Monday mornings.’

Dane also claimed ‘the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze’ as breakfast radio ‘ruins your weekend’.
