Toast Welcome Lewis Jetta

[Dark Sharks]

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.

Is this a euphemism?

 

[Chris_6678]

So happy he is signed on for another year.

I feel like half the time the guys Jetta is kicking to don’t even know they’re free themselves until he tells them they are. So unreal how consistently he is able to hit kicks that bust the game wide open.

Also is there anything better than Jetta kicking the ball from defence, and it ending up in willie’s hands to deliver into the 50?

 

[Forward Press]

We always wanted a line breaking mid, turns out he was one all along, just not in the conventional speedster gaining metres with sheer pace kind of line breaking mid.

Would not have a won the flag last year without him, consistently gave us a reliable outlet from defence and of course popped up for the winning goal in the first final too.

 

[Happy Mastenator]

Also his ability to pick the ball up off the ground one handed at pace is second to none.

 

[DanWCE]

Was playing full back on Stringer and dominating him. So good to watch

 

[Chris_6678]

32 games off playing a 100 games for WC. We need him to play an extra 2 years so we can get his kids as Father sons!

And that smother in the mad final minutes of the GF

Lewis Jetta's early WCE years were like his sponsor's this year. Just hoping his sponsor can lift in September like he does.

 

[squashface]

What’s the point in persisting though?

I'd say Wirra-esque

That was Masten...

(I know it was ****ing Jetts)

 

[Feeling Groovy]

His field kicking is such a thing of beauty and how the hell do you do those one handed pick ups on the run. I have enough trouble coming to a complete stop and picking a ball up two handed...

 

[DanWCE]

I thought for sure that ball was going to roll out of bounds and then Jetta swooped on it and took off Old mate from the Bombers was left in awe.

When his chase and pressure forced stringer to kick it out on the full, it reminded me of chick on teddy Richards

 

[SloppyJoe]

Like water he flows
Hitting teammates on the tit
No tennis ball head

Despite leaving the Swans I still love Jetta and I love seeing him play well. Come alone way from the skinny kid he was in 2010. Sure he is still skinny, but not as skinny as he was in 2010. I remember back then every time Jetta touched the ball you could hear the crowd change pitch as everyone suddenly got very excited at what Jetta was going to do with the ball.

He has also changed a lot since the early days at the Swans as back then he basically took on everyone and a lot of his goals came from the Swans kicking the ball in front of him and him running onto it. He is a bit more conventional these days, but with that comes him being able to use his other strengths, such as his amazing footskills and decision making. He gets much more of the ball at West Coast than he did at Sydney as well. Back at the Swans him getting 15 disposals a game was a very good game for him.

I firmly believe if Jetta was capable of getting the ball 30 times a match he would be considered one of the great players of the last 20 years.

Damn, he was good last night. Nice to see a coach recognise someone's talent and use it properly. Horse was always trying to turn him into a pressure small forward. Congrats eagles, great win.

 

[random260]

Amazing game. Man I thought Hurn was a good kick but when you compare him to Jetta it really highlight how special he is.

Is Hurn kicking not as good anymore? Or is Jetta just once in a generation kicking? Willie seems to have his skill but Jetta can dart it from 50m

Age has caught up to Hurn as his kicks are nowhere near as long as they used to be. In saying that he still have an elite kick and makes the right choice more times than not during kickouts.

 

[Keys]

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

Will never stop watching this at 2mins in..


The best field kick I've ever seen

Any other player in the league you would be convinced that kick was an accident and he was aiming for somewhere else.
