Both men loom as potential match-winners for their respective clubs, and if this match-up on the wing eventuates it will provide plenty of highlights. Neither player needs a lot of possessions to have an impact given the pace they both possess. Isaac Smith has had his best season at AFL level and has become a consistent performer for the Hawks. Jetta has won more of the ball this year than in any other season, but he's been plagued by inaccuracy in front of goal, kicking 14.22. The winner of this duel will be the one who can hurt the other when their opportunity comes. Both will get key possessions in space on the wings or pushing forward inside 50 and the one that uses those possessions the best, in terms of score assists or goals, should be holding a winner's medal on the dais.
Lewis Jetta
GAMES: 102
GOALS: 85
SEASON TO DATE: He's had his highest possession-winning season averaging 19 disposals per game, but his 14.22 in front of goal is a long way short of the 45 goals he kicked in 2012.
FINALS TO DATE: Jetta was a star in the Swans' qualifying final win over the Dockers gathering 25 touches and kicking a vital goal in the third term. He was quieter against North Melbourne with just 11 touches, but he jagged a goal on the run just on quarter-time.
WEAPON: His run and carry is exceptional. Jetta showed the Hawks his lightning speed in the 2012 Grand Final and they know they need to limit his space and opportunities.
WEAKNESS: Like Smith, Jetta's defensive running is a weakness and he has been inaccurate in front of goal this year.
Isaac Smith
GAMES: 85
GOALS: 79
SEASON TO DATE: Smith has had a terrific season. He's played 23 of 24 matches averaging 22.7 possessions per game. He's also kicked 24 goals, including a bag of four and two hauls of three.
FINALS TO DATE: He's been very influential in the finals series to-date. He gathered 27 touches and kicked a goal against Geelong, then followed it up with two crucial goals and 19 disposals against Port Adelaide.
WEAPON: Smith’s speed and long kicking are his greatest weapons. He has the ability to really cut through the opposition defence.
WEAKNESS: His two-way running is something he is improving, but it's an area that the Swans will no doubt target.
