Western Bulldogs believe Jordon Sweet’s best football is yet to come after re-signing the young ruckman until the end of 2023.
The 23-year-old was pick 23 in the 2018 rookie draft and he made his debut in round five this season against Gold Coast.

Bulldogs’ general manager of list management and football projects Sam Power said Sweet was important to the club.
“We’re thrilled that Jordon will be continuing his football journey as a Bulldog,†Power said.
“His ruck craft and ability to give midfielders first-use has come on in leaps and bounds, and we saw glimpses of what he can do at AFL level earlier in the season.
“We know Jordon still has plenty of growth to come, so we’re looking forward to seeing his development continue to evolve.â€
Geelong ruckman Darcy Fort remains the Brisbane Lions ruck target but the Cats are yet to open the door for the contracted 28-year-old.
The Cats have shown preliminary interest in the Hawks Jonathon Ceglar with the Bulldogs not going down that track having extended Jordon Sweet’s contract and with Stef Martin set to re-sign also, Ceglar’s preference is to stay in Victoria ruling out any chance he goes to the Lions.
The Hawks have their eyes on Collingwood’s Max Lynch.
Geelong coach Chris Scott will be awarded a two-year contract extension, as the Cats look to remain in premiership contention next season.
Scott, the 2011 premiership coach, had a year to run on his contract but there had been speculation about his future amid upheaval at GMHBA Stadium after the Cats were crunched by eventual premier Melbourne in a preliminary final in Perth.

However, new Cats chief executive Steve Hocking and the board have backed Scott in.
Assistant coaches Matthew Scarlett, Matthew Knights and Corey Enright have left. James Kelly, a three-time premiership Cat, has rejoined the club as an assistant, while Eddie Betts, the former Blue and Crow, will be a part-time development coach. Assistant coach Nigel Lappin remains.

High-flying defender Tim O’Brien has opened up about the uncertainty and “different messages†players had to endure at Hawthorn this year but says he is ready to relish a new role with the Western Bulldogs.
O’Brien, an unrestricted free agent, has linked with the Bulldogs on a two-year deal after nine seasons with the Hawks, where the South Australian product played 97 matches but did not appear in a final, having been taken with pick No.28 in the 2012 national draft.

He has booted 73 career goals but spent the second half of last season in defence, impressing his future club in round 22 when he had 24 disposals, including 10 marks, in the Hawks’ 27-point win in Launceston.

Carlton has raised $111,271 during their fundraiser for co-captain Sam Docherty and the Peter Mac Foundation.
Over 20 Blues players shaved their heads today as part of the fundraiser which was launched by Patrick Cripps on Tuesday.
Blues star Jacob Weitering said his teammates wanted to support Docherty as he continues chemotherapy in his second battle with testicular cancer.
“We’re in support of Sam Docherty, our captain, our teammate, it is terrific to see so many of the boys getting to shave their heads today,†Weitering said.
“It is massive for the Peter Mac Foundation and we thank everyone who has donated so far. It is an awesome foundation, to support people like Doc, who are going through those hardships at the moment.
“I hope he is proud of us and we are certainly proud of him.â€
A number of Carlton players shaved their heads today as a fundraiser for co-captain Sam Docherty and the Peter Mac Foundation.
Docherty is halfway through chemotherapy as he battles testicular cancer for a second time so his teammates wanted to do something in his honour so chose to shave their heads and raise money.
“One of our own, Sam Docherty, is currently fighting a battle and as a club and broader community, we are wanting to show our support for him and the Peter Mac Foundation,†Blues co-captain Patrick Cripps said when promoting the fundraiser.
“We will post before and after photos plus videos, and we would love for you to do the same and tag the Carlton Football Club and the Peter Mac Foundation.
“We also want to raise funds for the Peter Mac Foundation to support their discovery of cancer cures. We are hoping to raise $5000.
“Thank you in advance for your generosity, and we can’t wait to see a few shaved heads getting around in support.â€

AFL Women’s football general manager Nicole Livingstone said the trio would bring plenty of experience to the committee for season six of the women’s competition.
“They are each experienced football personnel who will add a diversity of views with their varied professional and sporting backgrounds,†Livingstone said.
“Trent and Bec will add the perspectives of current Head Coaches while Kate will provide valuable contributions as a Club President.
“Trent is a respected coach at Fremantle and is a fantastic advocate for women’s football across all levels of the game while Bec’s standing in the AFLW Competition as the inaugural Premiership Coach will forever be etched in the game’s history, so too her appointment as Hawthorn’s inaugural AFLW Coach.
“Kate is a respected leader who has held many roles across elite sport in this country and her experience will be of great value to the Committee.
“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank departing member Mark Evans (Gold Coast SUNS) for his contribution as a committee member.â€

Collingwood is still open to trading ruckman Max Lynch to Hawthorn if the right offer arises.
The Magpies have receive any trade offers for Mason Cox while Josh Thomas remains without a contract but could get a second look once the trade period enters.

Magpies football general manager Graham Wright said Lynch was able to look at other clubs but the Magpies valued him as a back-up ruckman.
“We haven’t heard from Hawthorn yet so I’m not sure where it sits with Lynchy,†Wright told AFL trade radio.
“We would like to retain him but he wants to have a look around given he is behind Brodie Grundy and seeing a way past him is something he doesn’t see but he’s still a valuable player.
“We are happy for him to have a look around but we have told him there will be a spot here with us.â€
Wright said on Friday he had yet to receive any offers for Cox who is out of contract but hadn’t ruled out re-signing him for next season.
Thomas hasn’t been offered a contract but is reportedly well-liked within the club so could have his future reviewed once trade period is over.
Rory Lobb’s manager Colin Young says GWS Giants have yet to make a contract offer to the Fremantle Dockers big man but it should come over the coming days.
Last night it appeared the deal could be in trouble after reports the Giants hadn’t given Lobb an offer he liked despite being content to accept less money than he was making with Fremantle.
But Young told AFL trade radio on Friday that the Giants were still working out what they could offer the Dockers and what they could pay and how many years they could offer Lobb.
“At no stage did I say the trade was over,†Young said to AFL trade radio on Friday.
“All I said was we had a bit of work to do. Full credit to [journalist] Damian Barrett for finding out that this was going on, I actually said yesterday it was great the media hadn’t got wind of it!
“I’ll be meeting with Rory in the next hour. We’ve had only had light discussions with Jason McCartney, so there’s a bit of work to do.â€
