Noah Chamberlain
DOB: 21.03.2007
Recruited from: St Ives Saints / QBE Sydney Swans Academy
Position: Forward
Noah Chamberlain has long been central to a talented crop of QBE Swans Academy players eligible for this year’s draft. A leader amongst the group, he burst onto the scene in his Under 16 year where he was named All-Australian at the National Championships. The athletic utility also made an early Under 18 debut for the QBE Swans Academy at Coates Talent League level, setting the platform for an accolade rich junior career.
2024 yielded many more successes for Chamberlain. As a bottom-ager, he turned out twice for the Allies and represented NSW/ACT in the Under 17 Futures trials. He would go on to take part in the National Futures showcase game on AFL Grand Final day, which otherwise was not a great day to be a Swan. All achievements considered, he was duly inducted into the National Academy heading into 2025.
Chamberlain’s esteem amongst the Swans crop was recognised as a two-time Basil Sellers Scholarship recipient (2024 & 2025), along with a starring role in Sydney’s Young Bloods TikTok docuseries. WATCH HERE
Another early roadblock saw Chamberlain go down with a heavy head knock during the Summer Series. He recovered to return via the Academy Series and Coates Talent League, also turning out twice for the National Academy against VFL opposition. Chamberlain then added to his senior experience with a pair of games for the Swans’ VFL side after running out a full national carnival with the Allies.
What QBE Sydney Swans Academy Coach Colin O'Riordan said:
A dual Basil Sellers scholar, Noah is athletically gifted with speed and endurance. He is a massive competitor, fearless and has a very nice field kick. He's got a very good overhead mark and is learning how to protect himself and the space in front of him. Very coachable player and a great person to be around.
