Rumour Jetta to leave?

[Shane Hird]

Why Palmer? Yes sure hes great at getting the ball but he has no defensive side and he cannot kick at all.

Thats what we all said about Jobe a couple of years ago isn't it? Players improve their skills and play on their strengths while getting better at their weaknesses.

Palmer goes in hard. Really hard. That's the sort of player we need.

Anyway, its not gunna happen. Jetta stays whether he likes it all not.

There is no way in hell Freo will want to part company with Mundy. He's their strongest, most reliable midfielder.

Why would he want to leave anyway when he is part of a side that could win a flag in the next 2 years? It just wouldn't make sense.

Rhys Palmer imo is the target for us if Freo are interested. They have made it clear ( judging by their selection choices in the last 6 weeks) that they believe he isn't good enough to be in the Fremantle best 22.

WC have nothing to offer. They need to keep every half decent player they have..

My argument is that you have two players Mundy and jetta who may want to return to their home states.

I am unsure that Fremantle can convince Mundy to stay at home if the ' Go Home Factor' is too strong.

And I cant see Jetta going to the WC.

Dont want Palmer because of his kicking issues.

Yeh and it took watson 5 years to work it out. I want someone who can kick now and not have to develope them much.

 

[mayhem20202]

Go where? Have a look at Freo's list. Not much on offer besides Palmer.

Walters, Schammer, Ruffles, Hinkley, Crichton, Bucovaz, Bollenhagen.

No to all above.


The ones they rate ( but might consider trading) would not be offered up for someone as unproven as Jetta is atm.

Ibbotson, Mayne, Silvagni, Roberton. No hope.



WC are even worse with their choices...

Brown, Wilson, Spanger, McKinley, Butler, Cockie, McGinnnity...no,no and no.

They might consider one of their better ball winners in Ebert, Masten, Sheuy, Kerr, Swift, or Scott Selwood. But I'd rather bet on Travis Cloke winning a Brownlow than them trading one of those players for Jetta.

He stays at Essendon or he is traded and goes to anywhere else but Perth.

Unfortunately, we don't have the power. It is make a trade to get him to where he wants to go, or he will just go into the pre season draft. Player has the power in this case.

This is all assuming that he actually does want to leave.

 

[lemon chicken]

Wrong. He just becomes an uncontracted player and goes into the PSD, the player has to agree to be traded. WC will get him for nothing, they will have no need to trade with us at all over jetta.

This rumour is coming from a more credible source than most that get posted on here. Sad if it comes true.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Jetta for Salopek anyone ?

That's if Jetta would come to S.A.

He wouldn't leave EFC to go to a non-WA club, let alone the city of Adelaide.

 

[foj1]

Mate you know he was a player signed to the gold coast which means hes already on their list and so is not in the draft?

Mate they are able to trade these players especially if the kid would prefer to live in melbourne buddy. Toy lives in Essendon, barracks for essendon and attended PEGS. He would prefer to stay in Melbourne I think you would find however I dont think GC would trade him.

 

[Gull35]

Why Palmer? Yes sure hes great at getting the ball but he has no defensive side and he cannot kick at all.

Havent we all been screaming out for a inside midfielder to help Jobe out?.. This, if true, could be a good trade.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

We are ####ed if we lose Jetta? Come on Lance...

do we, or do we not, badly need classy midfielders?

 

[Big Blow Hard]

FFS, he is no champion. I am just stoked he has played his way to some trade value. I like the kid, but if he can be used to net us something better then do it.

 

[bombermick]

He has cousins playing in Melbourne. I'm not sure he's desperate to go back to Perth. As for Ryder leaving, I don't think it will happen.

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

His ability to weave in traffic and get the ball out cleanly is second only to Jobe Watson in our side.

Positive in one respect but sad in another.

I'm not sure he'll get the required body shape to be a full time midfielder.

Him and Myers should be getting all the game time instead of a guy like Prismall.

He'll probably never be a full-time mid but he could spend significant periods of game time there ala Cyril. His disposal is good, but he's still not confident in front of goal.

 

[Daytripper]

Leroy is a young bloke with twins and I'm pretty sure his girlfriend is from WA as well.

I know how hard it can be sometimes with twins personally and you do need that family support around you just to give you a break sometimes.

I think people misunderstand the personal circumstances here. His girlfriend obviously would be under a lot of pressure without family around and with Leroy off doing his footy thing. Alwyn has a similar thing going family wise but he has his brother here as well as his cousins. Plus he is a lot hungrier having had to ply his trade in the SANFL so he knows how lucky he is being on an AFL list.

I don't want him to leave but I can understand him wanting to.

This is a good test for our footy admin area.

 

[loopy_cam]

Love Jetta but if he leaves we should look at Michael Walters. Pretty much like for like except Jetta is further on in his development so we'd get a sweetener.

You would just get the same issues down the track. He's best friends with Nic Nat from what I've heard.

Interesting thought except for these 3 things:

1. Walters is from WA and probably wont want to leave
2. There's no point in trading like for like from Fremantle's point of view. What would the trade achieve?
3. Fremantle probably rate the shit out of Walters. He look pretty damn good.

 

[pacemaker]

Surely WCE are not that bad as Port Adeliade who try to steal players for nothing. eg Josh Carr

At least we would give you something. Not much but still something

Hansen for Jetta maybe?

Done deal

Hansen is from Victoria if he wants to go home.

 

[Zahasouvlakis]

As long as Paddy stays, he stays. He's just started to realise what he needs to do to be a good player after struggling for so long, the club rates him, why would he leave?

 

[Skeeta Olly]

Sorry, but this thread is complete rubbish. Jetta does not want to leave Essendon, in fact many talk about how McVeigh bleeds red and black, but truth is if anyone was to bleed red and black, it would be Leroy. He loves the Bombers and has no intention of leaving.

He was asked a few weeks ago if he would be prepared to be traded and he outright refused. He is now proving to the club just how much he wants to be there and a contract will be signed soon.

Paddy Ryder would never leave either.

1. Fair point but we should at least ask him.
2. Getting a guy further down the track is always helpful. No matter how good a player he looks his development could always stagnate. Getting Jetta means they already have that next step of development guaranteed and just have to hope he keeps improving.
3. He does look very good I agree. I guess it's just a question on how sure they are that his development will be good enough to overtake Jetta.

That's on par with the Jetta for pick 4 suggestions lol. Do not want.

 

[yaco55]

I have no problems with the OP.

He doesnt post often but is usually on the money.

I am yet to be convinced that because jetta wants to return to WA - The two clubs are desperate for his services.

Life doesn't always work this way.

on the other hand, the only other time Olly has made a "in the know" type post, he was spot on.
