The former footy star, who last night attended the Grand Final Footy Show, was driving through a breath testing site this morning on Williams Road in Malvern as part of Operation Scoreboard, aimed to bust drink drivers this grand final weekend

Victoria Police said after blowing a positive result, he was taken to a police station where a positive reading was reaffirmed.

Swan and his management have been contacted for comment.

Swan was due to attend a Grand Final eve luncheon at a local footy club in Frankston.

The Karingal Football Netball Club was expecting him to be a special guest at their club lunch.

About midday— while the former footballer was dealing with local police— the club was seemingly unaware their guest’s appearance looked unlikely.

Club officials took to Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to express their excitement for the event: “All set up for our AFL Grand Final eve lunch- rooms look an absolute treat! Big afternoon with David King MC, Danny McIney and featuring Dane Swan”.

Swan has now found himself on the other side of the law after being caught up in a nude romp video that did the rounds on social media and text message early this year.

A 20-year-old woman has been charged over committing sexting offences with cops alleging she posted the video without his consent.

When the video surfaced, Swan begged officers to stop it spreading further and threatened legal action against those who refused to stop commenting about it or reposting the raunchy clip.
