He played 30 games over three seasons with Carlton. As was the case with another Carlton footballer, George Henry Ward (1876–1934), whose family name was mistakenly identified in all official VFL records as "Warde", Sweatman was mistakenly identified in official VFL records as "Tom Sweetman".[4] Both of these were clerical errors.
On 1 May 1900 "C.H. Sweatman" was granted a clearance from Carlton to Essendon Town.[5]
On 22 May 1905, "C.H. Sweetman" was granted a clearance from Essendon Town to the Boulder City Football Club in the Goldfields Football League in Western Australia.[6][7]
In June 1908, "C. Sweetman" was granted a clearance from Boulder City to the Brighton Football Club.[8] Although he was (apparently) selected in the team,[9] he did not play for Brighton in the match against Northcote on 27 June 1908.[10]
