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.

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 ...

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?

Where do you think he could go, early?

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
