A key forward and two QBE Sydney Swans Academy players have joined the team through the 2020 AFL Draft.
With selection four Sydney recruiters swooped on WA key forward Logan McDonald, an 18-year-old who loves to take his opportunities and prides himself on his work rate and marking ability.
Standing at 196cm tall, McDonald has been strong in the WAFL this year kicking 21 goals for Perth.
In the next draft selection, pick five, we matched a bid from Hawthorn to secure QBE Sydney Swans Academy talent Braeden Campbell.
The 18-year-old midfielder is a deadly left-foot kick and was best-on-ground in the NAB All Stars Futures match on AFL Grand Final day last year.
Campbell will be joined at the Swans by his great mate and fellow QBE Sydney Swans Academy product Errol Gulden.
Gulden, a classy player whose agility, vision and competitiveness are highly rated, can play inside or outside through the midfield or up forward.
Sydney Swans Executive GM – Football Charlie Gardiner said the club is thrilled to welcome the three new recruits.
“We’re delighted to bring in three players of the calibre of Logan, Braeden and Errol, all three are elite talents and quality young men," Gardiner said.
"Braeden and Errol are both products of our Academy and we’re excited to be able see them continue their AFL journey at the Swans.
"As part of this draft, we were also keen to add to our key position depth and Logan is an elite talent who we think will develop into a powerful key forward who fans will enjoy watching for years to come.”
Sydney will take picks 3, 21 and 39 into the pre-season and rookie drafts on Thursday.
