With academies to face a likely rejig for the upcoming draft, who knows how it will look, so enjoy the benefits while you can Swans fans. Pick five in the 2020 national draft Braeden Campbell looks a real player and the Swans nabbed him after a Hawthorn bid.

They may not get a kid this talented at such a good price ever again, so enjoy this one!
