Small forward Leroy Jetta only managed six senior games in 2009. However he has the talent and can be important to the forward line as was seen late in the Anzac Day clash.

He received a rating of 3.44/10 this year down from 5.87/10 in 2008 during which he played 18 games. With another pre-season under his belt and some confidence he is expected to play more senior footy in 2010.

Here's what some of the Essendon fans had to say:

Only six games this year. Should have shown a bit more to break into the senior list. Potential to be a good in and under forward line player. (Jeffrey Bonser)

Clearly Leroy has the ability and each time I see him, I'm waiting for the breakout game. The two things he needs are confidence and consistency and then we'll have the player I know he can be. (Graham Flynn)

Leroy has so much talent but lacks the application - we see flashes of brilliance but he seems unable to sustain his performance. (Jill Davies)

Leroy has all the attributes for success. Speed, flair and ego. However, he panics when the opportunity arises. The coaching staff must aid his self belief. He also needs to work harder when he hasn't got the ball, he must work in both directions. Work harder in the pre-season and back yourself Leroy! (Liam Frilay)

 
Struggled to get into the team and, when he did make it, he struggled to make any impact on games. His last few tackles saved us on ANZAC Day but he needs to do much more of that. (Brad Clark)
 
Obvoiusly a disappointing year from Leroy, one of my favorite players. Sometimes it's not about deserving something but rather about straight-up demanding it. Leroy, demand your spot.( Stephen Mc Ateer)
 
Was limited with games played this year, would like to see him get more opportunity through the middle now that Lovett has gone. (Cheryl Spivey)
