Club president Josh Taurau said the Brownlow medallist and Premiership player will don the blue and white on Saturday, April 27, during the annual Anzac day clash against Great Western at Alexandra Oval.
"Not only is this game great for the teams involved but for the community and the league itself," Taurau said.
"It will be a good experience to have someone of his excellence for the boys to learn from.
"We also know there's a large percentage of Collingwood supporters in the community which will expectantly draw a crowd for the day and night."
Taurau said a sportsmens' night would follow the game with Swan and Ricky Nixon detailing their lives inside and outside of football.
