He is coming back to Carlton at the end of next year! He is ours you b*****ds!!!
Alas I think you are probably correctHaha, good optimism
He'll be ours until he retires, and at this rate his name will be mentioned alongside Modra and Jarman in terms of cult heroes.
And you'll be wrong ......always yearly contracts after 30 .....Betts at 31 when his current contract expires, will get year by year contracts like ThompsonI sometimes wonder if Eddie even wants to keep playing that long?
I'll make a prediction and say he'll sign a 3 year extension at some point next year to take him to 2020 and then maybe consider retiring after that. How much we pay him would be interesting too. Clearly on a good deal now, but hard to pay him more knowing he'll be going into his 30's?
In his first season and a half here I lamented that he was purely a ground player. He's now returned to the arial form that he used to show sporadically for Carlton. He's like a modern day Ralf Sewer, and I think he's got plenty of footy left in him.
Edit. Darren Jarman played his first game for us at 29! I can see Eddie playing very close to the same amount of games for Adelaide as he did at Carlton.
And you'll be wrong ......always yearly contracts after 30 .....Betts at 31 when his current contract expires, will get year by year contracts like Thompson
I disagree, Eddie sees things before they happen - his reflexes are good, sure, but half of that is a product of being one step ahead to begin with. I don't see him as being ultra-reliant on them.In my opinion, Betts' primary weapon is his split-second reflexes. In the blink of an eye he gets a hand in to knock the ball to his advantage, or he grabs it off the pack and snaps it in one motion.
Unfortunately those inevitably start to diminish as men enter their 30s. As long as they hold out I think he has a place at AFL level, but it's hard to know how long that will be.
I'd expect him to go another 3-4 years.
Unless your Pods.And you'll be wrong ......always yearly contracts after 30 .....Betts at 31 when his current contract expires, will get year by year contracts like Thompson
well ......we are very nice guys to deal withUnless your Pods.
Not only did we give him a two year deal but we also gave up a draft pick for him after he was a delisted free agent.
yeas i can see 4 years pending injury ......as long as we get father/son rightsI can see Eddie playing for another 4 seasons. That would be another 90 games. Would be great if he goes on longer.
You worried that we gave a draft pick for pods?Unless your Pods.
Not only did we give him a two year deal but we also gave up a draft pick for him after he was a delisted free agent.
We gave a draft pick that neither team would use in order to get Pods on the list and training earlier. Purely cosmetic.Unless your Pods.
