Geelong has acquired pick 70 from the Sydney Swans in exchange for defender Jackson Thurlow.

The Tasmanian was selected at pick 16 in the 2012 national draft by Geelong. A Rising Star nominee in 2015, Thurlow went on to play 46 games in the blue and white hoops over five seasons.

“Jackson has been a popular member of the club over his six years here. His overall positive nature and commitment to his football is a credit to him,” Geelong’s General Manager of Football Simon Lloyd said.

“We thank Jackson for his service to the club and wish him well as he continues his football career at the Sydney Swans.”
