The Eagles must be regretting their decision not to draft Jetstar and opting to go for Brad Sheppard. The query over Jetta at the time was if he had the work ethic to succeed at AFL level. It was a masterstroke to have him shadow Keiran Jack in the pre-season and a credit to the kid for putting in the hard yards. One other thing that is consistent on his resume....he has a record of playing well in big games. He has kicked telling goals in junior state games and under 18 level. I watched with interest when the Hawks belted us in the final last year.....this Jetta kid in the last half kept demanding the ball and wanting to do something. I can also remember in an interview when he said he loves the ball in his hands on a big stage. If he can produce this weekend on grand final day, it would have to go down as one of the best years by a young speedster for a loooong time (Pun intended!).
