Word around town is that Jetta is set to head home and is likely to come to us.
What would it cost a team to get him?

Your first rounder gets the job done I would think.

Jetta isn't very good in finals which is why he isn't that valued at other clubs the problem would be is he really worth a first round pick I say No. But Eagles second round pick late 30s early 40s he's definitely worth more then that so Mitchell Brown and a second round pick

I bet it does. It also gives us the shaft.

Do you really think so. In all likely hood your first pick will be 17 or 18 add in the possibility of compo picks and your down to 20 or 21. This years draft is very weak, your obviously in for a few good years, a player like jetta adds pace which is about the only thing you guys don't have an abundance of. Pick 20 or 21 gives you another kid, but your team on the whole is young and given the lack of depth in the draft may not get you anything at all.

A 26 year old outside midfielder who is a good player but not a star is not worth a 1st round selection. Only has 3 or 4 years left and a pick in the 30's would be fair.

I would hope that my Club would respectfully pass on that offer.
Whilst Jetta is a very talented and highly skilful player he doesn't warrant a first round pick.
The problem is that our first rounder is overs for him and our second rounder is a bit light on in value for the Swans.
I , like many other Eagles fans have some reservations about Jetta's defensive side of his game, or more to the point the lack there of.
I watched him closely against the Violet Crumbles on the weekend and he wasn't that fantastic .
He is a talented player but he is cream and not cake .
I wouldn't want us to spend a first round pick on a player who will turn 27 next year and him not be a more solid contributor.
I am not anti getting Jetta , rather I would not be happy spending a first rounder on him .

If we got band 2 for Selwood would be ok with that.
Would much prefer to keep our first.

Jetta has played a couple of good finals for the Swans. He's not an inside mid or a guy who is going to rack up 30 touches a game, but he will provide plenty of run, foot skills, and score involvements. He was quiet last week but overall has been very good for the Swans this year. From what I've heard he's happy at the Swans but considering heading home to Perth to be near his family, so if a fair deal can't be reached he's highly unlikely to walk out.

lol People have short memories. Yes he was rubbish last year (as were most Sydney players) but he was bog in the first half of the 2012 GF.

Doesn't get a lot of the footy, can't win his own ball, not big on tackling or 1%ers, doesn't kick many goals.
Is he even an upgrade on Rosa?
Sounds like he's pretty set on leaving.

Put it this way - we'd be very happy to keep him! Different players are good for different roles. We've got plenty of inside mids who can win the ball, so Jetta is very valuable to us in terms of run, speed and great foot skills.
Opposition supporters saw his flashy stuff when he was playing in our forward line in 2012. The following year he struggled with a leg injury which ultimately ended his season, then 2014 and 2015 he's played much more off half back. In 2014 he was 2nd in the competition for inside 50's, highlighting that run & carry and combined with good delivery to Franklin and Tippett. This year he averages about 19 touches a game, which isn't too bad for an outside player.
Rosa has 39 career goals. Jetta kicked more than that in one season. Rosa averages 2.4 tackles a game to Jetta 3.1.
Neither Jetta nor his manager have made any public comment about leaving, though it's known he'd like to be near his family.

Lewis Jetta's game last week - Zero goal assists (from 5 inside fifties), Zero scores, Zero 1% but only one clanger from nine kicks.
Poor return but I don't think he can wear all of the responsibility for that because two prime extracting mids were missing and only Towers and Tippett were presenting a target forward.

Your first rounder or Selwood compo flat (about Jetta's value). The other alternative is your 2nd + a player, maybe Brown/Sinclair or someone like that. Not fussed. WC are one of the fairest traders.

Which is about the value for Jetta give and take. Now if WC want to only offer their 2nd, then a player has to be added. Maybe Sinclair/Brown/Barass (no idea on the last one, just throwing it out there). Some serious steaknives in other words.

Not sure. Personally I'd be comfortable with WC's 2nd (lets say 40 for arguments sake, there will be some comp picks in there) + Sinclair or ideally Brown. Brown is coming off an ACL so Sydney would be taking a bigger risk. Sinclair I'm not sure, but surely WC want Lycett to be in the side next season?

That's great. But is it relevant?
If he's going, he's going. The question is about what WC should be willing to give up.
Jetta was a goalkicker in 2012 but there haven't been many since.
Rosa is a higher-volume player and wins more contested possession. I'm not saying that Rosa is a necessarily a better player. I'm just saying that when it comes to assessing Jetta's worth, I think about what kind of upgrade he would provide on the players WC already have. If I compare Jetta to Rosa, or even Josh Hill, it makes it hard to justify giving up a first-rounder to get him. He'd be a second-tier HFF/mid who would at best, give us 60-70 games. He turns 27 in May. I'd be reluctant to part with a first-rounder.

It depends whether they're good ones or rubbish ones.
Pretty sure Andrew Gaff is worth more than Jack Watts.
He was younger than Jetta and we felt he filled a clear hole at the time.
He did SFA for two seasons but has come good this year playing in defence. We still probably overpaid given the output but I can understand the rationale behind that trade.
Jetta will be 27 in May and I'm not sure he fills a clear hole.

A second rounder will be at about 40 and seriously useless in this weak draft. Any player not in west coasts best 22 would be really no addition to our team meaning we'd lose jetta for zilch.

I'd suggest WC want the choice and will pick whoever performs best. That's been Sinclair this season.
Wouldn't Lycett basically be your first-choice ruckman?
And you're a key defender short, no? Particularly with Richards getting on.

Of course it's relevant when you ask if Jetta is even worth it. It shows that Jetta comfortably holds a spot in a side that has been top 4 for a few years now. People who don't watch him play just look at the stats and then write him off because he doesn't get 30 touches every week, but he's not that type of player.
As far as being a goal kicker, that was already explained in my post. He was played in the forward line in 2012 but now plays more off half back. He'd probably happily go back to roaming around kicking goals if you'd prefer that - decent shot at goal.
