To say he is quick is an understatement. He is freakishly quick and has
some of the best footwork I have ever seen to run around players and
make them miss. Makes players look like they are nailed to the ground
when he baulks them. Razzle dazzle player who can tend to try and do a
bit too much at times. More likely to go for impossible goals rather
than pass the ball off. What he does do is take players and break the
game open. Very good kick on either side of the body but at his pace he
rarely has to kick on the non dominant side.

Very good goal sense and suited to playing in the forward line and
getting possessions forward of the centre and making them count.

Hopefully he will round out his game some more this year and develop
the defensive side he will need. Learn to be accountable when he is
required to be. Would have a question mark on his endurance and whether
he will be able to become a full time midfielder in the AFL or a burst
player who will do a number of special things but drift in and out of
the game.

A wing/rover or a forward pocket. It is hard to know but despite his
small size he is able to compete against much bigger players. Shows an
ability to run and carry the ball and distribute well and run to all
the right places to either win the ball or be an option for someone who
does.

You add that to his pace, flair and balance and you have an enticing
package. Such a good natural goal kicker who crumbs the ball in the
forward line with great instincts and skill.

Played in the U18s Carnival for WA and showed himself to be up to the
standard there and was very exciting and stood out. Even though he can
be a bit selfish at times it is most likely just trying to impress at
the U18s and also in the WAFL under coaches instructions as from all
reports he is a very modest and humble player off the field.

He looks like he will have the ball winning abilities to become a
midfielder if he can develop the tank needed. The height and size are
the concerns in the future along with his endurance ability.

Instinctive player who is very talented and if he continues his development should go inside the top 10.

Played a senior practice game with South Fremantle a few weeks ago and
from all reports was silky and played well. Been training with the
senior group and looks set for many WAFL games with grown men in the
seniors and show how he handles that situation. Seems to have improved
his endurance and will likely be more consistent and less of a burst
player hopefully. Will still do the freakish but might be able to stay
in the game longer and have more influence.

Just a natural instinctive player with great skill and speed that is
going to have to deal with taggers and players running off him after he
is drafted. From all reports he is coachable and prepared to learn and
its just his natural way to attack and given time and some guidance he
will also develop the other parts of his game. Then be able to play as
a wing who sometimes pushes forward to kick and set up goals. Much
better than a forward pocket who is in and out of the play and is not
so influential. Has put on a couple of kgs as well it seems and looks a
bit stronger. All very good signs so far for Jetta in his pre season.

2006 stats for South Fremantle.

Colts (1 game) and 4 games for the Reserves 27 disposals a game , 6 inside 50s and 1 goal.

Just the height issue holds him back and what sort of impact his lack
of size will have at AFL level. The pace and skill is exacly what our
club is crying out for but with so many small players on our list it
could be an issue. Some possability he slips to the second round but
most likely not.

Gibbs has been running his opponents ragged this year.
He is also fairly pwerful for his age and size.
