Don’t think there is any truth to Jetta
I like WHE - sometime a bit soft for me, but overall he's a medium level talent and his numbers below would support this. For the right deal though - and I suspect there is more at play here (freeing up salary cap)I would be ok with moving him on.
He has some talent, do will no doubt attract some interest as Aish did last year.

Jetta? An injury prone player who is basically cooked? A defender when we need mids and a KPF? SMH. Never change Collingwood...Never freaking change.
Blah Blah Blah...Silky if BB's such a beast of as forward WHY has he kicked 4 goals against us over the past 6 years? (in 8 games) Cox has done the same to North in half that many tries.
The only way Jetta makes any kind of sense to me is if it's 2 years on minimum coin and they're moving Maynard into the midfield full time. They might also see some benefit in Jetta being there as sort mentor to the likes of IQ, Noble and Bianco as they continue to develop more?
From that angle it makes sense, moving Maynard into the middle and replacing him with a smaller defender down back like Jetta will be far cheaper than hunting an external inside mid.
I guess for me if we got Jetta in and moved Maynard into the middle to save ourselves trade capital and salary cap to have a real crack at bring some A Grade forward talent I could be ok with that. I'd much rather try and find a cheaper option to improve our midfield rather than spending up in an area we've already spent so much in, and then bringing in some NQR forwards like we have in the past, and then wondering why they can't kick goals.

Jetta's a contested ball player. Bringing him in cheap is like bringing Roughie in. AND it allows Maynard or Crisp or even IQ or Noble to play elsewhere. I think its smart.

Collingwood would you be interested in Ben Brown?
Collingwood: “he kicks a few too many goals and we don’t do that here.”

Because we have a decent backline and Norf is overall shite?

Jetta is cooked.
Ask any Demons fan.
We get rid of list cloggers to bring another one in.

LOL you’re not serious are you?
We have a premiership level defence, and NM are a rabble? There’s your answer.
Not sure if you’re being serious or this was a genuine crack at satire but that was horrible.

Hmmm, I'm not as sure about Jetta. Had a fantastic year in 2017 but it was a slow build toward that performance and he wasn't as good in 2018. Last 2 seasons are injury interrupted so hard to gauge. I'd prefer we develop players like IQ, Noble and Bianco and target another kid in the draft if we're worried about our depth. Could also look to move Appleby back again in 2021 if he's retained. I also wonder if a kid like A2B2 could be trialed as a small defender.

Honestly the melts here... I don’t believe for a second that we’re getting Jetta.
But he's been taking all these CONTESTED marks......surely he'd kick goals against anybody??????
Cos we want to WIN games against gun teams who ALSO "have premiership level defences" and Ben's not too good against them.
Tom Morris just dropped an article on Fox that says we are sniffing around Dees defender Neville Jetta (31yo). Interesting. Could he play small crumbing forward?

For all those melting over Brown, do you honestly believe that North would unceremoniously chuck a 60 goal per year forward out the door, destroying his trade value in the process, if they though he was going to be capable of even getting close to back to his best form? North are a rabble but they’re not completely stupid. Even going in to a rebuild, with the strong likelihood of McDonald being drafted, you keep a guy like Brown for your next gen to learn from and to provide leadership. That is, unless you know he’s cooked and will be dead weight for the next 3-4 years.
This could only happen if the Pies have plans to move a Maynard into the midfield next year...

Because we played Phillips forward and it wasn't a point of difference. And he's not a back.

Exhibit A from the Demons board.
Meh if they are dumb enough to take him go for It, he's not only cooked he's charred

Yeah he has kicked goals. Lots of them. 229.105 over 87 games from 2016-2019 to be exact. Get your head out of the sand.
If you wanted some math, that’s 3 goals a game basically.
I like the use of the word considerate, well considered choice of words, his job is not just getting hands on the ball it is using to the best of his ability and that's where the improvement has come.
