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.

    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.

    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.

    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 ;)

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
