The Sydney Swans have selected South Australian Malachy Carruthers with pick three at the 2020 AFL Rookie Draft.

Carruthers made the half-back flank his own this year and in doing so, played a pivotal role in Sturt’s run to the Under 18 Grand Final. He earned himself an invite to the national combine where his strong aerobic capacity and handy agility stood out. His kicking skills, overhead marking capability, and athletic profile make him an exciting prospect to watch in coming years. He joins fellow St.Peter's graduates Will Hayward and Dylan Stephens at the club.
