He is notable for his brief Australian Football League (AFL) stint, playing with the Melbourne Demons.

Early life

In 2006 he represented Australia's indigenous youth on tour to South Africa with the "Flying Boomerangs" to play against the South African Buffaloes.[1]

Weetra was recruited from Port Adelaide Magpies in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL) with selection number 62 in the 2006 AFL Draft. In 2005, he was awarded the Naish Travers Medal for best on ground during the Whyalla Football League Grand Final, playing for his club West Whyalla.

AFL

Weetra debuted in the AFL in round 1, 2008 against Hawthorn at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. He was dropped after his second game against the Western Bulldogs and played the rest of the season for Melbourne's VFL-affiliate, Sandringham in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Weetra was delisted by Melbourne at the conclusion of the 2008 season.[2]

Post AFL

Weetra returned to the Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL for the start of the 2009 season.

In more recent times he has been spotted at the Canning Tigers Football Club in Western Australia. Weetra won the best and fairest in 2013 after finishing a distant second behind Cameron Jackson, formerly of HBL in the south west, in 2012. Jackson has gone onto to win a further two of his own on route to life membership.
