    Lewis Jetta is becoming more of a chance to go in the first round:

    Jetta pushes first round claims

    Pace, penetrating kick, playing in the WAFL. Sounds promising.

    Been in the news a bit here in WA this week, touted as a 1st round pick..

    Prob is, he's not a top two pick and prob wont last until pick 18, so he's not really on the dees radar atm..

    He's very similar to a lovett, or nev jetta - the latter who obv plays for us anyway - so not a big loss.

    I'll keep everyone informed in case anyones interested:

    1st point: He started on the bench! :huh:

    CC admitted we stuffed up on this and could have got him last year at pick "whatever we wanted" but we let him slide and now we would have to pay the penalty if we wanted him. He sure is skinny and would fit in with our muscle brigade of Morton and Watts.

    lol ;)

    Swans down by 3 pts

    Jetta hasnt touched it.

    Hasnt really got near it and his opponent is a 4 time wafl premiership player - who as im writing this a few seconds b4 quarter time, has just run off jetta, off half back, thru the centre of the ground and just kicked a long goal on him!! Jetta couldnt quite catch him.

    Just had 1st handball, went to the opposition.

    Looks a bit lazy/uninterested :blink:

    Starting to [censored] down now at quarter time, which might suit him.

    From memory he has started slowish in the past and picked up as the game went on..

    so there should be more to come..

    jetta looks ok..

    Only 4 possies to half time, but his opponents had a 7 -1 goal quarter

    kicked a nice goal in the 3rd but only had a couple of touches despite his team kicking the 1st 4 gls of the 3rd

    Way, way behind Nev and Leroy for body size as well.. :blink:

    Although you can't have too many quality players with those magical attributes I think he's out of our reach anyway. Not good enough for picks 1 or 2 and would surely be gone by 18. Even if he isn't, would we be in the market for someone of his ilk at 18 or a tall?

    Jetta Invited to Draft Camp

    Swan Districts speed machine Lewis Jetta has broken convention and had his draft prospects further strengthened as a result of being invited to the AFL draft camp.

    At 20 years of age, Jetta is the oldest of the 75 players invited to the camp, which will be held at the Australian Institute of Sport from September 30 to October 2.

    Jetta leapt into the spotlight with a breathtaking performance during West Coast's intraclub game in February. One of a number of WAFL players asked to make up the numbers, Jetta took on his high-profile Eagles opponents, kicked two goals and looked completely at home.

    The cousin of Melbourne midfielder Neville Jetta hasn't looked back. He was rewarded for his stunning WAFL form with Swan Districts in his debut season by earning a berth in the State game against South Australia, playing a pivotal role in WA's win with three goals.

    "It'll be interesting to see where Lewis ends up," WAFC high performance manager Jon Haines said. "He's attracted some attention at Swan Districts and in the State game. He's an exciting player and the exposure will be good for him. He should test well."

    The above snippets have been taken from WA media articles. West Coast are very interested.

    Have not heard much of him until recently. A 1st rd pick is a big call. Should still come in second round. There is a stack of good kids this year, so he may fall around the 20s this draft.

    True, but I don't expect him to go much earlier, either.

    Worth pick 18? Wouldn't mind him if we get a tall with 11, assuming we still have it.

  • Quote

    Saw him play against Casey in the EF. Awesome player with silky skills and pace to burn. Would love to have him. Reminded me of Rodan in some ways

    He wont go past Pick 7! Who else would West Coast entertain with that pick? He wont be around for there 2nd pick.

    Kane Lucas, for one.

    yes i hope west coast pick up lucas with 7. essendon will also swoop on jetta if given the chance. hopefully jetta slides to pick 18 and that's where we pounce. being resigned to the fact that we will no longer go for butcher with pick 2, here's how i hope it all goes down come draft day.

    1 Scully

    2 Trengove

    11 and 18 Butcher if he slides, Panos, Black or Jetta.

    i believe temel will be available at pick 34 where we can take him as sort of a rough diamond to see how he progresses.

    pass on pick 50 for a pick in the PSD

    Jetta is a must at one of those picks though. i can really see him tearing up the wings of the MCG hitting up Jurrah. Tantalizing. 12 goals from the wing in one game... gees

    i guess the only other options i would consider at picks 11 or 18 are vardy, to add to our ruck stocks, or tahlia. tahlia is more of a defender though and i guess we've got a few of them in supply. i guess i'm hoping tahlia has already gone by this stage so it isn't even an option.

    Hated the part in the article where it says that we should have rookied him last year, after being in the car to visit Nev Jetta and Bennell...

    Turns out it would have been a steal!

    Oh well... win some you lose some...

    Knowing we got LJ in the PSD eases the pain.

    If Jetta is available I wouldn't be dissapointed to see us pick him up with pick 11. Ableit I know nothing about the draft but it seems as if one of Carlisle, Black, Christenson etc will be available at pick 18

    This was posted on Ology and looks to me as if he is a chance to go at 11 if he is still there.

    on the official MelbourneFC twitter:

    The word from Draft camp - Neville's cousin Lewis Jetta, super speed, super talented and very impressive in interview.

    It won't please those that are zombie-like in their desire for a KPF at 11 but if he the best available, and he very much looks the goods, take him.

    I would have to agree. I will be sick if we take a KPF at number 11 out of desperation. I trust MFC though :)

    Obviously Jetta has talent...

    But wouldn't using a potential pick 11 on a small forward....But a medium to tall forward..

    This would be a better option rather than load up with these sorts of players with similar characteristics?

    We have Maric, Jetta etc whom need a chance to develop...and a chance to taste the bigtime a lot more...

    I think getting Lewis Jetta at Pick 11 would be a mistake..

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
