Leroy Jetta - A Young Andrew McLeod??

listening to all the kids around the players race yesterday while waiting for them to come out,the name I heard the most was JETTA!.

"Where's Leroy?" they all kept saying.:)


When he came to the fence in the middle of training,the kids ran from all corners of the ground...rockstar:thumbsu:

He had a fair bit of tape wrapped around his right ankle/calf I noticed.

Strange way it was applied too...one long strip up his leg..cut maybe?

He moved beautifully but,ran like a young cheeeta cub.....

He's had that tape pretty much from the start, I remember noticing it when Essendon played West Coast early in the pre-season. It certainly isn't having much impact on how fast he runs!
 
so do you guys think he will end up being a midfielder in the aker mould or is he best suited playing in the forward line???

Early signs point to midfield

absolute gun

should have gone earlier ( around 6-9 ) but the other teams 'went tall' so to speak.

very very rare to have the amount of quality talls in the same draft and some times you need to pay over the odds a little to get them which means that blokes like Jetta slip through

Both imo. He will never play in the BL thats for sure.


At S.Fremantle and in the under18 carnival,he just roamed at will in the forward zone and headed for goal at every op.

I've said since watching that WC prac match he moves like Aka. Attacking,goal seeking player who has the run in his legs to play basically a Mark Mercuri type.

If he's not having a shot,he's drilling it to a tall forward:thumbsu:
 
In the BomberShop yesterday with my son picking out a footy badge.

Jetta's little stick had one badge left on it while others were untouched.

Only 2 games played and he's already one of the kids favorites:p
 
you can see why. he is so exciting and he has plenty of potential.

he seems like the type of kid who won't let the hype get to his head

he is just so relaxed on the footy field.

on saturday after lucas kicked the soccer goal leroy was smiling. then he asked froggy whether he kicked the goal or not. he had a huge grin on his face which is great to see. the funny thing was that davey didn't answer him as he was concentrating on the game.

it's good to see he is enjoying himself

Lol Mcleods playing backline these days. He might be a wingman yet, can play all these possies which is handy.

It's interesting to see the hype about Jetta and not much been said about Daveys 2 games, i know he's 22 but his two games have been better then both of Jettas games.

Also can't wait to smash Carlton i never feel confident against them but this year I just can't see us loosing, hope Wittnal plays on lucas again kicked 5 on him in a half last time then moves to bradley and he kicked a couple on him send Wittnal to our forward line please.
 
He moves like McLeod.

That same dangerous looking ambling jog that is about the same pace as other players sprint.

That's exactly what I mean, or what I was trying to say. My ability to articulate was destroyed during my days at high school, emphasise high, and through my continued love of beer, lol. Mmmmm..... beer.:thumbsu::thumbsu:
