Sydney have announced three new faces will be running out for the Swans' clash against Brisbane on Saturday.
Promising trio Logan McDonald, Braden Campbell and Errol Gulden will all make their debuts for the Swans at the SCG in what will be another key step in the club's rebuild.
McDonald, the Swans' top pick from the 2020 draft, stated his excited ahead of his first AFL match.
โItโs a bit surreal and also a bit of shock I think. Iโm just over the moon. It definitely hasnโt sunk in yet,โ McDonald said.
โTo have John Longmire say that Iโm making my debut this weekend, especially with two of my good mates is an awesome feeling and I canโt wait for Saturday.โ
Campbell echoed McDonald's statement whilst speaking on his close relationship with fellow Academy selection Errol Gulden and the key forward.
โWeโve basically done everything with each other so hopefully if I kick to him this weekend heโll know what to do with it,โ Campbell said.
โItโs just something I canโt describe Iโm over the moon about it, and to be doing it with Errol and Logan it just makes it even better."
Gulden said it has been an overwhelming journey to reach his first game at the AFL level.
โItโs still pretty raw I guess. Iโm just overwhelmed with joy and really happy I get to do it with two of my closest mates.โ Gulden said.
โThe QBE Sydney Swans Academy have taught me a lot of things to do with professionalism that I think helped me get to this stage in my career.โ
