Sweet trained with Port Adelaide in his draft year for a couple of weeks as part of some academy program. I remember word coming out after his stint that Port were impressed and he was impressed with Port. I cannot recall what happened on draft day but he ended up at WB.

Grundy was a pipe dream with the reality being we don’t have the draft capital and Ruck is not where we want to spend our salary cap. We will have such a good midfield that all we need is a ruck who gives them a 50/50 chance- not a fourth midfielder.

But people should manage their expectations. Like Lycett was 5 years ago, Sweet is an SA boy who is a lumbering type ruck man currently playing second fiddle to a mobile ruck man (Naitanui = English). The major difference is Lycett was a premiership ruck man and had played more AFL. Sweet 2024 is probably inferior to Lycett 2018 (or whatever year he came).

The other issue with this is that how do our tall backs and ruck men bleed for the club on Saturday knowing we have already replaced them. All these announcements are like we have already shifted our attention to 2024. FFS we are one home win, an excellent away win and probably a neutral game v Brisbane away from a flag in 3 weeks. Surely we could have asked that these announcements get delayed until our 2023 job is done.

Mate half this board has moved onto 2024 and this ^ is why

Can’t blame the part of the club that’s actually successful (list management) for doing the same

We picked the great Tobin Cox with our pick before they picked Sweet.

Good one!
 
That's assuming we would have developed Jordon.. big assumption
True, but no matter what the outcome with Sweet, we wouldnt have done any worse!

Not bagging our recruiters though, they have done a good job the last x amount of years. But in recent years our rookie selections have been next to useless!

Probably motivate them even more to be honest. Knowing this might be their last chance at a flag.
