Player Watch Jordon Sweet

[FootyLad0]

What ruckman do you speak of?

I can only think of 3 but my knowledge is poor. Blicavs who rarely plays ruck and is getting on, Stanley who is getting on and not rated and De Koning who often plays in defence.

Conway and Edwards who have both been injured. Stanley is just the hold over until they are ready. He’ll be done end of the year.
Blics/SDK/Neale are just fill in rucks while we don’t have genuine ruckman

Sounds like Sweet would fill a need. Conway and Edwards are nothing.
Take Hinkley back too please.

And give Port a 1st rounder.

[all seeing eye]

Id go with him against Gawn.

 

[Lefti93]

Tried his guts out against Hawthorn.

 

[Grave Danger]

Tried his guts out against Hawthorn.

Highest rated player of the entire round, according to Champignon Data.

 

[The Hobo]

Tried his guts out against Hawthorn.

Horrible start to the game but from quarter time, really came into his own.

Slow start to the season for him (like many others) - still feel our fitness base was really poor this season and is a key reason for our performances this season (amongst injuries and everything else)

I thought the unco ROB destroyed him around the ground. I was embarrassed for Sweet at times.

Sweet was on top in the first half but got pantsed as the game went on.

Having said that, was pushing shit up hill. ROB knew he could push hard up forward as we were no chance of scoring so no need for him as a spare down back.

 

[Shaucob_Burjan]

What's the theory with his inability to direct the taps to teammate?

Has no problem winning them, unless he's devoting 100% just to collect fantasy points

Ah yes, the coveted MG MVP (?)

Just who the fans voted as best player for the game.

 

[PowerLil]

LOL. Proceeded to tap to noone in particular in the first half whilst our on ballers got absolutely spanked in the centre and at stoppages. Yeah. MVP.

The fans cannot be trusted.

It's the ruckman's fault the midfielders are standing still flat footed?

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Sweet thought he was peak Primus, grabbing the ball out of the ruck, rag dolling and shoving Ryan out of the way and trying to play on like he was Butters.

 

[Us against the rest]

I think Sweet has been good, particularly around the ground. He's no Ryder but he has good intensity, far from our worst player.

 

[Long live PAFC]

Don’t think he has been too bad. Only 50 games, should still improve some. Seems to be playing much more physically this year - wonder if that has been an instruction to support the midfield by bashing and crashing

 

[Lefti93]

I like Sweet. I wish he'd push forward or back and take a few more marks. He can mark, we just don't seem to use him as an outlet often? A lot has been spoken about wasting the pick on Soldo, but he's Sweet has been good value for that pick 50.

I'm always willing to give our players a bit more leeway when they actually look like they care.
Sweet mightn't be the next Max Gawn but he competes well and definitely has a physical presence.
I think eventually Visentini and Whitlock may go past him but right now I'd consider him out #1 ruck.
