The kid’s going to be alright.
Yep, the numbers stack up nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing the Sweet/English combo soon.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
Quite ironic someWoofers have been suggesting we recruit a player of his ilk , yet have been dismissing his potential.
It's better to die on our feet than live on our knees.

How are his hitout numbers!
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
If he can work on his aerobic capacity and ruck for 3/4 of the match he will be an extremely handy player.
He reminds me very much of a younger Toby Nankervis.
More of an In Bruges guy?

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
I'm kind of liking him over Martin after last night. Future's bright, he has a bit of mongrel too.
I watched him up close out at Preston, he's really in great shape can tell he's doing every thing he can to forge a career.

If he can get close to Nank, would suit us perfectly. A workhorse who goes all game and just follows up at ground level.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
There's a litte Ben Hudson about him, competes pretty well on teh deck for a ruck.
Not a star but a solid performer with a bit of mongrel

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
Really liked how he worked forward to be an option last night. Especially late when his crucial mark on F50 lead to Flea's goal.

By a ruck whos best hitout numbers read 37, 32, 22, 19, 16, 15, 14, 12 etc. Guess who the first two were against? Ladhams does usually play as a second ruck but still.
Don't get me wrong, I haven't minded Sweet so far, he seems competitive and moves alright. Still need to see a lot more from him to be convinced he is a long term prospect though, but looks like we will see him a few more times at least. I would still be keeping my eye out for number one ruck prospect at this stage.
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Sweet's averaging more hitouts than Gawn at the same age/stage of their career.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
I’ve been most impressed by his skill level. He’s a great kick for someone his size.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet
Watching the reply, and Sweet is about to have a shot from the boundary line and the Port Bogans are stirring him up. As Sweet walks up to take his kick he mouths something to the bloke on the fence. I would love to know what he said
Sweet takes no shit from anyone.

I thought the same thing watching it live, but thought surely not!

Handy when you’ve played one game against 0 rucks.
I really like Sweet. Moves well, can mark, has tidy skills. He doesn’t displace Martin - who was excellent early doors - but is a natural replacement and very handy bloke to develop while we make sure Martin is able to ripen and peak come September.
