Watched the last quarter of the WAFL v. SANFL game today. Lewis Jetta got three goals for the day and shapes up as a player with personality. He is tall and skinny and has a go. I reckon he would be worth looking at later in the year.

any more details? Age? Is he a brother of Nevil or Leroy?

Think this link might have been posted here before.

Heard Scott Watters (WA coach) talking about him on the radio. Said he had concerns about him playing in the wet because he's so light. Jetta assured him that he was "sensational" in the wet.

Also another one correct if im wrong ( Mike maric) brian taylor mention he was a talent. I may have miss herd.

It just refreshed my memory as Jetta is with us.

Did he say Nick Maric? BT was gushing about Addam. Started to say he loved him, changed it to like.

I know Lewis Jetta got a mention elsewhere here because his aunt spoke about him at the fabulous event last week. But just by way off a progress report ... a fellow WAFL watcher, much more of an expert than I am, reckoned he'd got ahead of himself & his form had been pretty ordinary lately. Then on Saturday I listened to Swans getting shellacked by East Perth & Jetta did nothing until the last quarter when he kicked goal of the round -- on the run, 55m out & the commentators said it hit the fence on the full.

Just wanting to keep his name in calculations ...

Would love him to be a pick of ours!

Very Cyril the way he moves.

Only thing that worries me..i saw an interview with him on youtube somewhere and he was pretty serious when saying i only want to be an eagle!?

Ive been having a look through the West Coast message boards recently. A lot of posters there think that he is a certainty to be West Coasts 2nd round pick.

I've been watching Lewis for around 2 years now - and the improvement in him over this course has left me dumbfounded.

Lewis is an explosive midfielder from Swan Districts in WA.

Reminds me of Andrew Lovett with his serious leg speed and field kicking - already averaging 15 possies per game in the WAFL.

Have a look at his run down the wing around the 38 second mark of the vid. ohmy.gif

.. I've heard a flutter that Freo, WCE and Carlton are keen.

Where do you think he could go, early?

Again, I hate to bring up my infamous ranking system - but I've currently got him at #16

However, I suspect he'll move over to the 2nd round as some clubs (ie. Carlton, WB, Hawthorn) will select for more pressing needs.

Last Thursday Neville Jetta's Mum said that we could have had the best Jetta - Lewis. May have been a little" tongue in cheek" but she certainly bought it up.

There were a couple of mature-age recruits from the WAFL last year that may give a bit of an indication. Hayden Ballantyne went to the Dockers at pick 21, he was 21 years old and had kicked 70 odd goals in the WAFL that year. He was a direct, mature-age replacement for Farmer though and it is the Dockers so he may have gone a lot higher than other teams rated him. Liam Anthony went to the Kangaroos in the 40s, another well regarded 21 year old from the WAFL.

Lewis Jetta seems to be making more of a splash than those guys though and may have a bit more currency as he is a year younger and its supposedly a much weaker draft.

You'd think Freo may be very attracted to another mature-age draftee given how many 18 years old they picked up last year and will draft again this year.

So I wouldn't be suprised if it came down to whoever had first pick after the first round, the Dockers, WCE or any interested Vic clubs such as Melbourne.

It would be funny if we got him ahead of WCE, given we supposedly snatched both Bennell and Neville Jetta from their grasps last year also

well, all going well, we will have a 2nd pick before WCE

Would love him to be a pick of ours!

Where did you invent this only from?

Its no different to Sam Blease saying he'd love to go to the tigers before last year's draft or Grimes expressing his desire to play for his beloved demons.

Its a pipe dream and unlikely to come true and any draft hopeful knows this.

That was a Hutchy-like post.
