  • Premiership(2×) 2012, 2018

Recruited from Swan Districts with pick 14 in the 2009 National Draft, Lewis Jetta overcame a much-publicised start to his career—kicking 19 consecutive behinds before registering his first goal—to establish himself as one of the league's premier line-breakers. His blistering pace and agility were vital to the Swans' transition game, culminating in a premiership in 2012 where his memorable run down the wing against Hawthorn encapsulated his speed. After 127 games in red and white, Jetta requested a trade back to his native Western Australia ahead of the 2016 season, famously facilitating a straight swap for ruckman Callum Sinclair.

While his initial impact at the Eagles was inconsistent, leading to occasional stints in the WAFL, Jetta eventually reinvented himself as a precision-kicking defender and high-half-forward. His ability to thread passes inside 50 became a major weapon for West Coast during their 2018 premiership campaign, making him one of a select group of players to win flags at two different clubs. Renowned for his cultural goal celebrations and lethal right boot, Jetta finished his AFL career with 202 games after being delisted at the conclusion of the 2020 season.
