welcome to the eagles and 2016 just got a whole lot exciting to see Jetta in the wings .
Jetta turned the fans against him and now he has an uphill run to turn them around to his side. If he can do that then he deserves all the praise he earns. Otherwise, * him.

If Tony Locket was able to get the Sydney fans onside 6 months after what he did to Peter Caven, I'm pretty sure West Coast fans won't be too harsh on Jetta.

Got to love it pre trade, "Jetta has been hopeless since 2012" ... How tunes change after the trade
Luke most Swans supporters said, he played really well this year.
Congrats!!
I hope he plays awesome for you guys. He served us well, was a fan favourite and he has so much respect/support for mates.
Hope he can find his best with you boys, rejuvenated at home.

One NN tap down to Jetta->run to 50->goal and they will build a statue to him.

Some of us rated him since this trade was first rumored...
Hope he turns it around with a different group. Has a boatload of experience and we all know how gast he can be. His experience and speed is another worry for opposition mids. If Redden and Jetta can get close to Yeo and Wellers we should be able to get back to the MCG for the big dance.
The actual trade aside I am excited to see Jetta on the wings next year, hope he has a great pre-season. I'm confident he will light it up for us next year, he is at the team he supported and always wanted to play for!
Anyone got footage of his draft year where he said he wanted to play for WC?

I did lol
I think Jetta will be a great pick up for the Eagles, especially playing on Subi oval. People forget that at Sydney he was basically the only outside mid that opposition teams had to worry about. At the eagles there is Gaff and to a lesser extent Masten who can also do damage.
Although he is a very outside player, he is one of the very best in the AFL at it. And now he gets to do it every second week on Subi rather than the tiny SCG.

Awkward but most fans should be able to build a bridge and get over it now .
True that. You would have to be some high functioning campaigner to have a go at Jetta now he's on our team.
We've got a couple of years of Hill playing what bares some semblance to consistent footy, I'm not too worried about us getting the best out of Jetta. Glad to have him on board!
Just Sticking Up For A Mate . Even if he was a FlogBleh, not exactly happy with that trade one bit. Ruckman are worth more than an outside runner in woeful form, especially contracted ruckman.
But by round 1 i'm sure all supporters will have warmed to Jetta, even after he threw a spear at them.
Welcome Lewis, lets see some of this 2012 form as soon as humanly possible

Here's one of the interviews from that year(he gets asked at about 1:15). "I hope the Eagles pick me up, I want to go to the Eagles". Can't get any more clear cut than that
. Some great footage of him playing for Swan Districts in there too.I know he sometimes goes missing a bit in games, but still bloody excited now that he's playing for us. Welcome Lewis!

Peter Matera taught him some moves . Ok so Move
Such is life Ben
Team Captain
Sinclair struggled in the grand final when the heat was on and we someone who can replace himself and possibly be better in Lycett. Jetta at his best is an upgrade on Rosa/Masten. I am happy with this trade.

Pretty much everyone in this thread needs to settle down, seems like a fair trade to me if we manage to pick up another ruckman cheap. We didn't win the premiership this year but were close so I'm glad the club is pushing hard to win it, and we need the outside run. Premierships are hard to win and west coast have been too passive in the past in terms of trading and having too much belief in our players.
