COLLINGWOOD remains "surprised" Brownlow medallist Dane Swan agreed to a paid interview with Channel 9 without the club's knowledge or permission.

Chief executive Gary Pert admitted the club's administration was unaware Swan had taken part in tonight's The Footy Show interview until last Friday -- days after it had been recorded.

"Dane's management negotiated and conducted the interview before the club's administration was advised," Pert said last night.

"While we encourage our players to do media work because our supporters enjoy it, we were surprised with the timing of this interview."

Pert was reluctant to comment any further.

But it is understood some within the club are concerned the controversial midfielder could potentially disrupt the club weeks out from the home-and-away season.

Paid interviews with former coach Mick Malthouse in 2011 and Travis Cloke last year caused serious tensions within the club.

It is believed Swan was paid more than $20,000 for the interview, in which he is said to have denied suggestions he had a drug problem.
