Teams

Recruited from South Fremantle with pick 18 in the 2006 National Draft, Leroy Jetta arrived at Essendon with high expectations as a dynamic small forward capable of turning a game in moments. A cousin of fellow AFL players Neville and Lewis Jetta, he was renowned for his blistering speed, agility, and natural goal sense, traits that made him a dangerous prospect inside 50. While he enjoyed a breakout season in 2011, Jetta battled consistency issues and recurring injuries throughout his tenure, often struggling to transition into a sustained midfield role. After falling out of favour under the club's changing coaching structures, he was delisted at the conclusion of the 2014 season, finishing his AFL career just shy of the 100-game milestone before returning to the WAFL.
