Career[link]

Early career[link]

Jetta played his junior football with Carey Park Junior Football Club, a Bunbury side in the South West Football League (SWFL). He then went on to play for Swan Districts and was a part of the colts premiership in 2007.

However Lewis was overlooked in the 2007 draft and decided to return to his hometown Bunbury to play senior football, in 2008 he played in the Lower South West Football League for the Bridgetown Football Club. After one season with Bridgetown Lewis returned to Swan Districts to play senior football in 2009.

AFL career[link]

Jetta was drafted by Sydney with the 14th selection in the 2009 AFL Draft, which had been traded from Collingwood in exchange for Darren Jolly.

Jetta is a small, but extremely quick and skilful player who was overlooked in both the 2007 and 2008 drafts, before having a breakthrough year for Swan Districts in 2009.^[1] He represented Western Australia in their state game against South Australia in June 2009 and kicked three goals, including the WA's last goal in the final minutes.^[2] He is the cousin of Neville Jetta who plays for Melbourne.

Lewis Jetta was impressive on his professional debut against Carlton in the opening round of the 2010 NAB Cup, and has played some exciting football in his debut season with the Swans, creating nationwide interest as he scored 19 consecutive behinds before finally managing his elusive first goal in the AFL. In Round 19, 2010, against Hawthorn, he appeared to have broken his drought with a goal on the three-quarter-time siren, only to have the kick ruled out when it was judged to have been made a split-second after the siren. But in the 4th quarter, Jetta finally got his elusive first goal in the final 5 minutes, to a standing ovation from the SCG crowd.

Jetta also took part in the 2010 Grand Final sprint representing Sydney. Jetta came third behind the winner Luke Miles from St Kilda and Tim Golds from Greater Western Sydney.

2011 was a relatively disappointing year from Jetta as he struggled to have an impact in several games. While he was able to have an influence at times throughout the year when he came on as the Swans' substitute, he often found it difficult to find the ball through 4 quarters of football.

2012 jetta became a great player

Personal life[link]

Jetta and his partner Jess have one child together: Lewis Oliver Miller Jetta, born 26 December 2010.^[3]
