Swallow was named on the interchange in the Team of the Week after recording 29 disposals and kicking a goal for the SUNS against Geelong.

His never-say-die attitude saw him poll six coaches’ votes.
Meanwhile Lachie Weller also received a vote after collecting 27 disposals and nine rebound 50’s.
Geelong’s Tim Kelly and Tom Hawkins polled the most votes from the game (9), while Gary Ablett (2), Mitch Duncan (2) and Cameron Guthrie (1) were also recognised for their efforts.
