As one of the most exciting small forwards in the game, there is no doubt that when Leroy Jetta is up and running it usually means the Bombers are firing. From his 21 games this season, Jetta finished the year ranked 10th in total goal assists in the AFL and booted 22 goals of his own.

Season by Season

Season by Season

Contemplated quitting football before James Hird took over as coach last year, but went on to enjoy his finest AFL. Played every game for the Bombers and kicked 27 goals, a career-best return. Jetta’s creativity and clever skills are central to his game and the club is hoping he can improve his fitness to push through the midfield regularly this year.
