Toast Welcome Lewis Jetta

[ioppolo]

Those guerseys though, horrendous compared to now

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

I have no idea how he sees what he sees. Like I'm in the stands so should have a clearer view of what's down field, most times I think he's shanked it but no, he's found someone on their own in an attacking position.

Love Jetta.

He lifts in the big games too.

And I haven't even touched on his mentoring which is probably just as, if not more valued by the club.

Could easily see him at the club in a development/liaison role with the indigenous players. They all clearly love him

 

[Forward Press]

Will never stop watching this at 2mins in..


The best field kick I've ever seen

I think there should be GIFs of it in this and various other threads. Not an understatement to say that kick was insanely good. How do you even spot that?

 

[wce4premiership]

Still think Hurn is a better kick than Jetta but doesn’t have the same vision that Jetts has. There’s instances when Jetta kicks the ball and you think wtf has he kicked it there only to see an eagle run onto the ball at full tilt

The other thing Jetta has is the speed/evasiveness to get himself into a better position and open the field up to find those options others don’t see

I think it's a fair assessment either way. Jetta has more shockers than Hurn for sure. Hurn's past two weeks he's had some really bad turnovers under no pressure which I wouldn't think he'd have done twice over the previous two years total.

Hurn's ability to hit the power of a kick just right to any player standing in a pocket is the best I've ever seen, his use of trajectory and power is unbelievable and he would have one shank every one thousand kicks.

Jetta's better across his body and braver with his options. Tough call to make. Has better vision as well.

Also I'd gladly spend 4 hours making gifs of that entire game, but am at work and can not.

there was def a GIF of that kick that I stole from on here but have lost it since.

Anyone feel free to make another....

 

[BigVic]

Such a colourful character and fan favourite. He and Hurn are our most important defenders

 

[triplegee]

Simply put - we wouldn't be still in this year without him.

Such an integral part of 2018 glory.

Clearly has a role to play next year and beyond, on-field and off.

I love this man.

 

[KBLT]

He's the type of person you want at your club forever. Not just while he's playing. He's the heart and soul of the club's culture.

 

[Wedgetailed Westerner]

Easily should get another season, possibly two in the form he's in.

Real crowd favourite. Got them up and about and gave them a salute after they got into Stringer and made him spray his shot at goal.

Then at the end of the game the whole team was waiting for him to walk off and he's off down the far end on his own with Willy signing autographs.



Some of his moves in traffic are delicious. Need a GIF of that spin he did on the wing.

Ask and you shall receive my friend

 

[Dark Sharks]

I want him to either join or take over from Phil Narkle as our liaison officer when he retires.

Has he ever put a foot wrong off field?

Certainly not for us, but I can't remember any off field descretions or issues with him at Sydney. Different cat, but as square as Darling.

 

[WCE Wizard]

He has brilliant vision and laser sharp skills you cannot teach that

 

[The wily weagle]

Surely he will stay at the club in some kind of Indigenous development role after his career is over

Our indigenous boys all respect him and Jetta has been a terrific mentor

What about kicking coach?

 

[Ishmael_]

What about kicking coach?

I believe he mentioned on one of those Eagles podcasts that he was doing his coaches course and wants to get into coaching.

He's a total footy nut, which is quite rare amongst today's players. And apparently he just practices those kicks repeatedly at training, always upping the difficulty. Guy obviously has natural talent, but it's that training which gets you the Jetta-ssance.

 

[KERRPOW]

We're now clear winners of the Sinclair / Jetta trade

Lewis Jetta to be conformed as the first Indigenous Head coach in 10 years

 

[Marlin01]

Love Jetta and I'm certainly not having a major dig, but he consistently defends boundary-side in one-on-ones. Surely he has been told not to do this. It's happened countless times this season and just seems like such a fundamental mistake for such a high-quality player.

 

[squashface]

 

[DanWCE]

Any chance someone tries to tag him like happens to Hurn?

 

[GoTheSwannies]

Wish he was still at the swans but glad to see him doing well with the eagles

Sublime foot skills... and the kick from the highlights vid was bloody glorious
