Early football

Sweet began his football career at Ingle Farm Junior Football Club in the inner north of Adelaide. He played from 2010 to 2011 in the Under 12s and 14 divisions, playing a total of 41 games with the club before moving to Tea Tree Gully Football Club, where he played 35 games in the Under 15s and Under 16s revisions.[3] He then stepped up and began playing for North Adelaide, playing eight games over two years, including a premiership in the latter where he kicked one goal and had 24 hitouts.[4]

AFL career

Sweet stayed behind other young ruckman Tim English in the pecking order of team selection. He got his chance to debut when main ruckman Stefan Martin was rested in the 5th round of the 2021 AFL season.[5][6] On debut, Sweet collected eight disposals and 31 hitouts.[7] He was omitted the next week, but again returned in Round 8 when Martin was out with Achilles soreness.[8] He kicked his first career goal in that game.[9]

Port Adelaide (2024–present)

At the conclusion of the 2023 AFL season, Sweet requested a trade back to his native South Australia to play for Port Adelaide.[10] Sweet made his debut for Port Adelaide during Round 6 of the 2024 AFL season at the MCG against Collingwood.[11]
