Collingwood has chosen medium midfielder Sam Swadling with Pick 37 in the 2025 Telstra AFL Draft.
The 18-year-old is from West Perth in the WAFL and represented Western Australia four times at the 2025 National Championships.
Known for his ability to win the ball and elite kicking on both sides of his body, Swadling stands at 189cm tall.
Swadling has experience playing against Men, having pulled on the West Perth senior guernsey four times in the WAFL, where he averaged 17.5 disposals.
Collingwood National Recruiting Manager Shane O'Bree was thrilled with the selection of Swadling.
"Sam’s foot and ball work attracted us as well as his experience playing at WAFL and National level. He will be an exciting addition to watch."
