Andrew Swallow announced himself as an elite midfielder in 2011. He has won three club best-and-fairest awards through his lust for the contested footy and his supremacy at the clearances. His outside game has developed well and while his kicking appears awkward it is very effective. Swallow captained North Melbourne from 2012-2016.
