Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet

I’m a little worried all his highlights were tap outs, would like to have seen a few marks and hand ball skills.

I thought his highlights looked good.

Aggressive tackles and gathered some ground balls well. Would have liked to see some contested marking, but happy with skills displayed.

Maybe it was a different highlight package I watched of his I'm thinking of but I'm pretty sure I saw him take a few grabs

Agree. He lumbers a bit but that’s not unexpected. He made his presence known at ground level and if he can sharpen up his movement a little he should be competent once it hits the deck. We needed a developing/project ruck so he makes sense but he’s a long shot to become a quality AFL player like 95% of rookie draft selections.

I don't remember Ben Hudson way, way early on, so I state that up front. But a passed over junior ruckman, a couple of years in the state leagues, 200cm, OK moving, good tap work and lots of aggression, seem to describe them both at this stage of their careers.

He might release Boyd in the near future so he can concentrate on his forward craft.

Is that a Two Ronnies reference?

If I laugh I am showing my age.
I did not laugh. I may have smiled a wee bit.

Gary Sweet played a few reserves and under 19 matches for Glenelg. As such I’m voting for “Gary” as his nickname

You didn't see the gather in the forward pocket and then he shoots the handball to the player in better position?

If you ever want to see Gary Sweet lose it completely then just ask him if he grew up in Werribee.


I have just spoken to a mate of mine who is a huge North Adelaide supporter about Jordon and the first thing he said was "He's the goods. Josh Carr (Norths coach) doesn't promote just anyone-he earned his spot.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet

Think this is an 'insurance' type pick. We definitely needed another ruck on the list.
His tapwork craft is good, but will struggle around the ground.
Lets see how he goes with AFL training under his belt, might be some scope to significantly improve.

Re: Welcome to the Bulldogs: Jordon Sweet

A second round rookie pick, he gets time to develop. Definitely need insurance plus a first ruck at Footscray.
