Club History Sweetman now Sweatman

[The Blueseum]

Thanks to the work of 35Daicos and some further work from the Blueseum the AFL records and Blueseum records have been changed for a certain player.

Inception blue, Tom Sweetman has now been changed to Charlie Sweatman.

This will take effect through all official records.

This was some of the proof that was used to make the case, since then the AFL has found further evidence.

-------------
There is no evidence that Thomas Sweetman played football for Carlton from 1897-99?

I have looked on Trove (only references to Sweetman with no initials) and in pennings material and cannot find anything.

On the other hand there is a fellow called Charles Herbert Sweatman.

C.H. Sweetman was cleared from Carlton to Essendon Town in 1900.

He played there for a few years before being cleared to Boulder City in WA in 1905.
