Weetra is living in Mildura and is set to play around 10 matches for coach Mitch Carroll.
Carroll coached Weetra at Farrer league club Coleambally where he kicked 34 goals in 15 matches.
"It's good to have a full-forward, rather than trying to rotate on-ballers through there," Carroll said.
Andrew Emery topped Lockhart's goalkicking with 30 majors in 2019.
Weetra will join Graham O'Connell and Carroll in making the shift from Coleambally to Lockhart.
The Demons will also welcome back several Albury-based recruits, who had planned to have last year off, as well as several players through the RAAF.
They will play Turvey Park, Temora and The Rock-Yerong Creek in practice matches before the Hume league season gets underway on April 10.
