David Swallow (born 19 November 1992) is an Australian rules footballer for the Gold Coast Football Club. He was the number one draft pick in the 2010 AFL Draft.[1]
In 2010, despite not yet being drafted by an AFL team, the Gold Coast Suns were permitted to allow Swallow to play with the side in the VFL. This meant that the club were enforced to select Swallow before another team had a pick in the draft (a minimum of pick 3).[2] However, it was widely assumed that Swallow would be taken with the 1st overall pick of the 2010 Draft,[3] which was confirmed on 19 November.[1]
Swallow is the younger brother of North Melbourne player and 2009 Syd Barker Medallist Andrew Swallow.[4]

Swallow was named on the half-back line of the 2009 Under-18 All Australian team as a 16-year-old. Swallow was also awarded the Larke Medal as the National Under-18 Competition's best player.[5][6]
AFL career
Swallow was part of the inaugural Gold Coast Suns team which played against Carlton in round 2 of the 2011 AFL season. He was also part of the first victory against Port Adelaide in round 5. After a 21-possession, 2-goal performance against the Western Bulldogs in round 14, Swallow was nominated for the 2011 AFL Rising Star.
