The Lewis Jetta Thread

20, oldest person at draft camp.

1 - Tom Scully

2 - Jack Trengove

11 - Matt Panos

18 - Lewis Jetta

If we manage to pull that off in the upcoming draft, I think we would have the required players to compete for a premiership within 3 or 4 years

For all those Jetta fans out there, it seems that West Coast is not going to take him at 7 any more:

Matt Burgan also thinks/knows West Coast isn't taking him.

This would have to create a conundrum for the recruiting dept, who must have been expecting him to go before 11. He'd be a great get at 11, but that means missing out on Talia ... very difficult! BP has been kicking himself for not picking him up at 70 last year.

A previous article mentions that it's not just his cousin that's the MFC connection; he's good mates with Jamie Bennell too.

Imagine him & Blease slotting them regularly from the wings!


Burgan has Adelaide taking Jetta at 13 (with Kane Lucas, Koby Stevens and Jake Carlisle in the mix) but all the talk in Adelaide is Tapscott at 13 if he is available. We'll see I guess.

Conundrum ?

BP will have all probabilities, rankings and what if's on the ready as they are called out. He has said as much. This would have been discussed in their many reviews.

  • 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.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
