About Leroy Jetta
- Leroy Jetta (born 6 July 1988) is an Australian rules footballer who last played with the Essendon Football Club in the Australian Football League.
- An outstanding junior, Jetta was twice named in the Under 18 All-Australian Team as well as being adjudged the joint winner of the Kevin Sheehan Medal, awarded to the Best Player in Division 1 at the Under 16 National Championships.
- He was also a graduate of the AIS-AFL Academy in 2005. The speedy forward was drafted by the Bombers with the priority selection (18th overall) in the 2006 AFL Draft from South Fremantle.
- He was drafted as a player renowned for outstanding pace, good foot skill and terrific vision on the ground.
- He made his AFL debut in the opening round of the 2007 season, along with another of the club's 2006 recruits, Alwyn Davey.
- Jetta went on to play the following 3 matches before being sidelined by a groin complaint.
- Despite returning to play with Essendon's VFL affiliate, the Bendigo Bombers, this injury ultimately ended his 2007 season. The 2008 pre-season saw Jetta return to the club in excellent condition.
- He equaled the then club record for the 20m sprint with a time of 2.75 seconds, and his skin folds were the lowest they had been.
- His strong performances in the NAB Cup reflected that increase in fitness.
- As a result of that good form, Jetta earned selection in Essendon's Round 1 encounter with North Melbourne in which he gathered 13 possessions and showcased his terrific tackling.
- His good start to the season was interrupted by a hamstring injury sustained in Essendon's round 3 clash with Carlton.
- He returned in round 7, but had a subsequent dip in form.
- However, Essendon coach Matthew Knights persisted with Jetta and was paid back by his outstanding performance against Fremantle in round 14. The 2009 season was another important year in Jetta's development.
- A few quiet performances in the pre-season led to his omission from the side for the opening two rounds of the season.
- However, strong form for the Bendigo Bombers led to a recall for Essendon's vital round 3 encounter with Carlton. On 7 September 2014, Jetta parted ways with Essendon after eight seasons with the club.Jetta, along with 33 other Essendon players, was found guilty of using a banned performance-enhancing substance, thymosin beta-4, as part of Essendon's sports supplements program during the 2012 season.
- He and his teammates were initially found not guilty in March 2015 by the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal, but a guilty verdict was returned in January 2016 after an appeal by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
- He was suspended for two years which, with backdating, ended in February 2017; as a result, he served approximately seventeen months of his suspension and missed the entire 2016 WAFL season and parts of the 2015/16 and 2016/17 NTFL seasons.He later played with Peel Thunder in the WAFL and in 2018 played for Pinjarra in the WA Amateur Football League.
