I don't need to explain why I've dug this one up.
I could write a novel in tribute and it still wouldn't be enough to describe what you mean to this club and this support base so I'll keep it succinct.
Thank you Dave
We're gonna miss you mate.

Legend of the club and hope he hangs around in some capacity.
Love that from Wittsy, he stayed when everyone around him left.
Winning BnF in one of our more successful years in 2014 and runner up a couple times after that I think?

I was holding it together until Witta got to the "You Stayed" part and that's what got me.

They really need to name our B&F after Dave.
The perfect wedge for the AFL
Request the QClash Medal be renamed the Swallow Ashcroft medal
It will then be up to Brisbane to decide if they want a half talent name on their side of the medal

I still remember those putrid NMFC fans who said that he was going to go to them when he had the knee issues and went and saw their doctor then got upset when he re signed
And then Andrew ended up playing for us!!!

Get his name on the stands by first home game next year
The names on the stands always look great

Why David Swallow deserves a round of applause from Freo fans on Saturday
No AFL player in this era has earned a spot in a finals team more than David Swallow.

Nothing but admiration for Swallow. Was devastated when we finished last but knew the Suns had pick 1. Stuck around when many others ****ed off, most important player in the club’s history IMO.
Hope I can see him get another win at Optus on Saturday.

I'm sure he'd be extremely happy with his place in Suns history tonight. Epic score to end the Elimination final.

One of the better posts I’ve made in retrospect. Suns legend, so glad he kicked the winning score. Well done boys.

He was already a club legend, but now he's written his name in the AFL footy folklore! There was a sense of destiny about that moment at the end with scores level and Dave getting tackled without possession of the ball. So happy that he will forever have an epic moment to be remembered for. No one deserved that more than our boy Dave!that’s my ****ing goat!!!!!
