I've read a few things lately about how Lewis Jetta wants out of the Swans (possibly go-home factor). What are D'landers thoughts on the possibility of hijacking a go-home move a-la Mitch Clark and signing him up. He's got pace and x-factor which we sorely need and you'd think he would fit in nicely with the other Nyoongar boys at the MFC including his cousin Nev.

Anybody got any mail on Lewis Jetta's future?

Hopefully he has more scruples than that Geelong listed player.

But seriously I am sure if he does want out, Roos who knows him all too well will evaluate his potential value and cost, and make a rational decision on whether he is needed.

Certainly an experienced finals (and premiership) player. I still remember his burn off of Cyril in that winning GF. A pivotal moment IMO.

Swans are banned from trading any players that are worth more than the AFL average of $350k so I don't think its possible. I don't think he could leave even if he wanted to. That Swans ban is an absolute disgrace. I believe if he leaves Swans it would be to go home so unlikely to go to Vic. Although as you say, look what happened with Mitch Clarke but then again look at what happened to Mitch Clarke after that scoop.

He is an absolute gun. Elite kicking skills and jet pace. Tends to drop in and out of games a bit. But can be a match winner when he's on.

Yeah right, i forgot about the Swans trading ban.

This article indicates that he is unsigned and out of contract at the end of this year (same situation as J. Howe):

If he can't be traded, then he's stuck between a rock and a hard place if he wants out of the Swans. Would have to nominate for one of the drafts I guess if he walked?

I thought the ban was related to trading players in too. Surely even as corrupt and reactionary a body as the AFL could not get away with a situation / ruling that prevented an uncontracted player from leaving. Edited by monoccular

This is going to sound like one of those mate's sister's best friend's cousin thing. But I have a mate that works with his old man and has been telling a few people that he is excited to have him back in W.A. next year. From what I can gather it is most likely the West Coast that will secure him but obviously Freo will be hunting him down also.

Judd's grandma's neighbor's dog walker's niece's shrink maybe? I clearly remember that the very same source was 100% certain that that photographer guy who is now at Geelong was going to Freo a few years ago. Edited by monoccular

thanks for the scoop Barra, too bad, he would have been a great potential target for us

Wonder what the Swans will want in return? A late first rounder which is all the Eagles/Dockers will be able to offer?

I'm not sure. But makes sense.

Either way will be a big blow to the Swans if he goes. Losing an experienced player for a relatively low pick in a dudd draft for a mediocre kid will be a real blow. What a lot of people don't realise about the Swans is how much of a rebuild they have already done. A few weeks ago there were 9 players in a game with 50 or less games.

Why spend $100's of millions on a new team, GWS, to promote the game in NSW while at the same time destroying the exisitng team that has a fickle following that turn off in droves once they become uncompetitive.

Hawks just go out and recruit Lake and then Frawley to fill backline holes, Swans are about to have the same holes but can't trade in players to fill them. Colless's description of Fitzpatrick's behaviour shows you just how badly that man is damaging the game. Time to go. All about his ego being out of joint over not getting his choice of Buddy to GWS.

    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,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
