Chris Lewis, Peter Matera, David Wirrpanda, ALL over 200 games each

That's when a CLEAR message should have been given to him,to pull his head in!He should have been dropped for that and his Casual Attitude in doing so,according to one or two East Perth Faithfull I spoke to yesterday.

He is better than what he is doing now,but the Eagles need to find someone he can talk to.Anyone.

Trainer,water boy,office worker even.Someone from Swan Districts.Percy?Greg Harding?Someone who might be able to unlock the key to him relaxing a lot better and playing the good footy he is most certainly capable of.

Perhaps we can compare and contrast the situation of M Walters and the consequences of him spending time at Swans and Lewis Jetta spending some time at East Perth.

And throw in Phil Matera played a lot of footy there with success and they are one of the few clubs that has an indigenous welfare officer in Phil Narkle working there

Wtf is Narkle doing with Jetta then...not a great deal obviously, or maybe Jetta just cbf.....

Materas have indigenous heritage , fair enough, but a lot more italian.

Sad to say that Jetta is not on his Pat Malone - can't say that Redden is setting the world on fire.

58s a somewhat leading question: do you think Lewis Jetta might have found a bit more form if he had been able to go back to Swans and play in an environment that he knows well and with the additional benefit of playing with hi brother rather than being forced to play for "East Perth"?

Swan42, I have a feeling he may be back in Black and White sooner than expected.

I can't answer that one swan, all I know is that he appeared to be cooked last year and this is a follow on.

To digress a bit, WCE should win tonight. It looks like a clear, dry night and the track is flat.....
