DASHING WA youngster Lewis Jetta is firming as a first-round pick ahead of November's NAB AFL Draft after playing a starring role in week one of the WAFL finals. 

Jetta, 20, appears set to follow in the footsteps of mature-age WA recruits Liam Anthony and elevated rookie Greg Broughton at this year's draft and he is swiftly building a reputation as a big stage performer. 

The Swan Districts star had 26 possessions, three goals and seven inside-50s in his side's semi-final win over South Fremantle. He also booted three goals back in May when he represented WA against SA.

WA Football Commission high performance coach Rob Wiley said Jetta had enjoyed a wonderful year in the WAFL and he was enhancing his draft prospects by performing in big games. 

"Recruiters look at many things, but being able to play at the next level and play when the stakes are higher probably holds a lot of value to them," Wiley told afl.com.au.

"He's had a wonderful year and he's certainly played well at the next level in the state game against South Australia. I'm sure he'll be a player highly thought of.

"He's doing everything right and he's had a very good, consistent year. His athleticism and his ability to have an impact on a game will bring the recruiters towards thinking he can be a valuable asset."

Jetta's line-breaking pace, penetrating kick and accomplished skills have him prominent in the minds of AFL recruiters, and Wiley said there was plenty of upside yet for the skinny youngster.

"That's always a tough call recruiters make, putting them into more professional set-ups and how much they will improve," he said.

"A good example is [Essendon's] Tayte Pears, who was recruited a couple of years ago and came from the country. He did okay, but he's now growing in stature as an emerging young backman. Being in the right environment will certainly improve their chances."

Jetta moved form Bunbury to Perth this season to play senior football with Swan Districts and Wiley said he had blossomed since making the move.

All-Australian junior Anthony Morabito also made the decision to relocate closer to Perth, moving from the state's south-west to Mandurah, where he could train regularly with WAFL club Peel Thunder.

Wiley said Morabito would fit comfortably in the draft's top six picks and both WA clubs would jump at the chance to recruit the exciting teenager.  

"His form in the WAFL in the early part of the year was certainly outstanding and he carried that through into the 18s and had an enormous impact," Wiley said of Morabito.

"Experiencing senior football and the fact that he was able to go through a pre-season has certainly set Anthony up for a good year and I'm sure attracted the recruiters' eyes.    
 
"He'd be similar to [Brisbane Lion] Daniel Rich where he's very physically mature. He has played well at senior level, so I'm sure he'll be highly thought of.

"From what I've seen he'd be a top half-a-dozen [pick] for sure."
