Re: 7. Leroy Jetta

We all know this boy has immense talent. Showed us what he is capable of on Sunday and for me he was the highlight of the game. Highlights actually. So many wonderful passages of play. I'd been waiting for a while for him to show it and now it has be excited. Lets hope he finishes off the season with some strong performances. Needs to work on his fitness and we shall see 4 quarter performances rather than half a game.

Well done Jetta. One of my favourties:thumbsu:

my main worry for Leroy was how many small players we have tha cant spend much time in the guts and that being the reason I spoke about him as trade bait. Having watched him closely over the past month I have come to the conclusion that when he does get the ball he uses it extremly well. I am 99 per cent sure he would have been motivated to play well in his home state and I congratulate him for doing so. Now he has to learn to play with the same intensity as much as he can.
2 reasons why its important for Leroy to play well against the loins.
1- for himself learning about consistancy.
2- for ESSENDON I honestly think if he plays well and a few others I am nearly sure we can beat them.
Jetta, Watson, Lovett, Mcphee, Stanton, Lonegran I feel could be very important. I will stand corrected with him RND 1 2009 when davey and Jetta line up in the same forward line and he plays well until then every week and a big pre season is all going to be of great importance in his career (as well as a few others) pretty exciting I think.

Ok, so let me get this straight.
You have gone from claiming that jetta is "not up to it bad draft pick!"
to Jetta being one of the key players that needs to perform if we are a chance to beat the lions. flip........flop........FLAP
No room for Jetta and Davey in the same team....? Give it a rest man.:rolleyes:

Check out the replays of Rd 1 and 2 from 2007. Jetta was looking as good if not better than Davey.

Re: 7. Leroy Jetta

Good to see him get the ball a decent number of times. He doesn't have to be a 30 touch player to be damaging, but his output on the weekend, in terms of stats, needs to be a minimum. He needs to get some confidence in his kicking for goal also, he's a terrific kick when he's passing but terrible when kicking for goal.

Very happy to see him play well, hope he can keep improving as there is a lot of blue sky there.

No room for two small forwards/rotating midfielders in a team?
Just to name one lineup, Paul Medhurst, Leon Davis and Alan Didak. How have they been going this year? Are they a dysfunctional forward line? If they can function then what is the problem with having Davey and Jetta in the same forward line whilst rotating through the midfield?

You don't listen to anyone, you make ridiculous claims, you cant back them up with any substance and you write players (full of talent and promise) off after 10 games of AFL. Carry on your merry ignorant way 'champ'. :thumbsu:

LEROY JETTA should NOT be traded I was WRONG by saying so and I'm veryhappy about it!!
CONFIDENCE and INTENSITY are his strengths and as long as he plays with thoose to things he will be a bomber for LIFE

Re: 7. Leroy Jetta

Showed lots of potential on saturday night but I'm sure there is plenty more to come from the little man as there is with all our youngsters!!:D

as good as he's been, Leroy is only showing glimpses of what he could be. His potential is awesome. If he gets consistent, and gets more stamina, he could be a star of the highest order

Alot of that is to do with the roll he's been playing. Since Davey went down, he's been playing mainly as that key crumbing small forward and doing it pretty well. His goal in the first quarter was another tease as to what to expect moving forward.

I'd say look to him to really break out next year.

Re: 7. Leroy Jetta

Agree, he just needs to be a bit selfish sometimes. It will come.
I was not sure of him a while ago but now I am genuinely excited every time the ball goes near him. I really think now he has the potential to be something special.
 
Re: 7. Leroy Jetta

Getting better and better every week, the Freo game seemed to be the turning point for him. Cannot wait to see this kids full potential
 
Re: 7. Leroy Jetta

He's really starting to stand up with a few key runners down.

Fitness seems his main barrier at this stage, but when he has the ball we're a much better football team. It's great seeing him start going to good spots, and running angles and getting around the goals.

Starting to show a flicker of his potential.
