Jetta... keep running mate

[MarkP]

He actually got angry at one stage when there was a bit of a blue. A tad better, but there was one in the middle when he received a pass and was all clear, could have taken a couple of bounces and had a shot, but no he got rid of it straight away. Has he been told not to run and bounce, or is he just lacking confidence

C word for mine. I cannot fathom any coach excluding a player from running. Any player.

If they have told Jetta that then trade him.

I think he is trying to do the 'team' thing and passing it when the 'team' thing would probably be for him to have a shot or run with the ball.

Yeah I noticed that too, had a paddock in front of him but straight away kicked it long to a contest and nothing came of it. New role is all well and good but if you have the oppurtunity and ability to break lines then please do it. Could have ran at least 30 metres and the play would have opened right up, frustrating when you know how damaging he can be.

This has to be his last chance this week on the big ground

I find it hilarious the amount of criticism he receives on this board at times.

As has already been mentioned his close in work this year has improved dramatically, he's learnt how to use his speed in close, along with his sidestep and quick hands.

LOL

 

[bedford]

I find it hilarious that you would defend him for an ordinary season LOL

 

[Scotland]

Would attract muchos interest from the WA clubs if you're not happy with him.

I highly doubt you'd look at moving him on, quality player even if apparently criticised by some fans.

We are in desperate need of power forwards.

Give them all to us and you can haz a Jetta.

I think Josh Kennedys work better as a pair

Ordinary in your eyes perhaps, not mine. His role has been drastically altered, on account of the fact that opposition teams won't allow him the outside run, so Horse has moved him closer to the action and I think he's played well there, despite some moments where he just falls away from a contest, or seemingly so. He's still about 9 stone in oldspeak, and has to use his speed in close. His disposal is sometimes a bit wayward (especially on long range kicks) but that's because he attempts passes others don't try.

If he was not playing the way the coaches want him to he'd be dropped.

 

[bedford]

The fastest he runs now is to be the man on the mark

 

[momentbymoment]

I feel the same way about Jetta as I do about Buddy and Adam.

Every time he gets the ball there is a chance some magic will happen.

Perfect

There is only ONE person not happy with him...as Martin Pike would say probably sleeps with the light on, so we can safely dismiss his opinion.


Jets ummed and ahhed about going home before signing his last contract.
I personally think he will return home at the end of 2015.

Bit of an article about Lewis in the West Australian today, talked a bit about his inaccurate goalkicking (10.14 so far this year) and his brother Graham who plays his 100th game for Swan Districts this weekend.

He will never , ever be talked about in the same breath as those two

 

[Horts]

I love Jetts but yeah he ain't no Adam and he sure ain't no Buddy.

I'd love for him to be a bit like a Motlop, but less of a ****wit.

If he does you will be handsomely rewarded.

We paid pick 19 for Wellingham FFS.

Lighten up - I never said he was the same quality of player. I said there is always a chance of a bit of magic when he gets the ball.

Let me enjoy his talents in peace

 

[bedford]

Nothing to do with lighten up, how am I stopping you enjoying his magic ? and once again I would love nothing more than him producing magic moments

Yes everyone entitled to an opinion

But you are wrong about jetta

Not matching 2012 goal output but is playing further away from goal, he is overall having his best season

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Wellingham was a good pickup just needs a solid pre-season and to stay on the park has only played 21 games in 1.5 years.

Wellingham's alright but I'd swap him for Jetta in a heartbeat, and since we paid 19 for Wellingham it's safe to say we'd pay more than 19 for Jetta.

I don't think we would give up our first round pick this year in a straight swap (the way we're going it will be around pick 6) but if we made the finals and had a 11-18 pick I reckon we would.

Surely it would be Freo if he wanted to go home? I mean youd think the chance of playing finals would come into his decision, that's why I think he will stay a Swan for years to come its an exciting time to be part of our club.

 

[db swannie]

Jetta was a star today. Used his speed in close well, tackled his guts out, etc.

For those doubting/rubbishing him, feel free to leave your apologies here.

 

[Jeffers]

Fantastic game from Jets. Loving his new role. Adding another dimension to us.
