Andrew Swallow (born 2 June 1987) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Kangaroos Football Club. He plays with number 19 guernsey.
He was the Kangaroos second round draft pick in the AFL Draft and was pick number 43 overall.
He received a nomination for the NAB Rising Star for his performance against Geelong in Round 17, 2006 when he managed 25 possessions and a goal.
Known as "Spits", Swallow performed solidly in the Round 19 clash against West Coast, where he was struck by Daniel Chick and was one of the toughest players on the ground - requiring a head-bandage to be applied.
Kicked a magnificent goal against the Adelaide Crows at AAMI Stadium in Round 16. He juggled the ball to ground, managed to get boot-to-ball and it rolled on and on through for a goal.
Swallow played for the East Fremantle Sharks in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), before being picked up by the Kangaroos. His passion for football began in high school where he played for the Rehoboth Saints, with other WAFL colt players Alex McDonald, Gavin Braam, Ben Carroll and James Gee.
