Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet

[comrade]

Give me a better start for a rookie list ruck kid in his first 3 Games:

Disposals 26 (8.7 average)
Marks 5 (1.7)
Goals 1 (0.3)
G/Assists 1 (0.3)
Behinds 0 0
Tackles 12 (4.0)
Hitouts 66 (22.0)
Clear. 7 (2.3)
Inside 50s 7 (2.3)


The kid’s going to be alright.

Yep, the numbers stack up nicely. I'm looking forward to seeing the Sweet/English combo soon.

Quite ironic someWoofers have been suggesting we recruit a player of his ilk , yet have been dismissing his potential.

[jeemak]

How are his hitout numbers!

[azabob]

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.

[Grantysghost]

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.

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

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.

How are his hitout numbers!

Got beaten last night 19/36

Got beaten last night 19/36

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.

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

[Happy Days]

I’ve been most impressed by his skill level. He’s a great kick for someone his size.

[bornadog]

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.
