Eddie Betts

[Wood_Duck]

How are we certain that Carlton won't match the deal?

They need an extra million bucks and have indicated they cant review their offer.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Please be good to Eddie.

And a few kind words to MEB when you see her around the boards. She's taking this harder than anybody.

 

[Slippery Pete]

Now for Chapman.

 

[Artie Bucco]

How are we certain that Carlton won't match the deal?

We've stated that we won't match the other offers.

Best of luck with Eddie, provides a lot of entertainment.

How are we certain that Carlton won't match the deal?

They're offering Thomas a very sizeable deal. Plus with Gibbs coming out of contract next year, they need cap space. Their list manager also said that they "It's a lot more money than we're offering. Eddie's got to fit in to the pay scales we've got at the club."

It's obviously not a foregone conclusion, but it's leaning that way.

 

[Elder van Berlo]

We've been crying out for a proper small forward for years, maybe since Matty Bode... So glad the club has addressed a need.

More outside pace and a Ruck/Forward to come hopefully.

Being generous to Bode there. He had a crack but his best season in terms of goalkicking was 32. He was a rich man's Petrenko.

We haven't had a proper small forward since Vardy.

Mrs EB may be pleasantly surprised by Adelaide and the Club if she just keeps an open mind. Hope so.

My old friend who leaves to go home to Vic today has had eyes seriously opened to the best kept secret in the country - not that we want everyone to know.

 

[The Edukator]

just picked up the leagues premier small forward. congratualtions. lucky for carlton this is the exact type of player they can afford to lose and can cover with garlett and menzel on the rise.

hard not to love eddie, he's been magical. all the best to the bloke. Look after him

 

[CrowUpYouMob]

Great news to get Eddie!...didn't come cheap but we really need a quality player like him. Just have to hope that Tex and Jenkins can get back early and firing...a bit worried about how long they may take from serious injuries....what about chasing someone like Posiadly just in case,on a 1 + 1 deal....wouldn't be expensive you would think?

And if she's a looker we will all be super mega nice guys.

Carlton won't get much service from Thomas. His ankle is rooted by all accounts.

Hope Betts turns out for you.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

just on other news D Thomas is Hawthorn bound

Awesome to have my little mate Eddie Betts on board with us at the @Adelaide_FC. Real exciting for our fans #hecanwearmyshorts

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

The Dockers confirm that wantaway Demon Colin Sylvia has nominated them as his club of choice

 

[Cap]

just on other news D Thomas is Hawthorn bound

wow. Carlton would be a bit upset by that...

By one account ... but not by several others.

 

[redhorse]

PS. redhorse you are a ******* legend mate

Yeah Redhorse is a legend!

redhorse and FAITH

Cheers everyone! Glad it all worked out and I could help with some inside info. Looking forward to seeing eddie kick a few snap goals at the oval!

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I think Betts should get #18

 

[Wood_Duck]

Still not sure how you got the information you did from Carlton, but you were definitely on the money.

 

[pjcrows]

Very, very good get.

 

[Mattrox]

Like I said, concerned citizens of the world of Adelaide Crows.

Hahahahahahahaha oh hahahahahahahaha

by concerned citizens you mean panic merchants.

 

[Donkey Magoo]

I'm looking forward to the Tex and Betts shootout for leading goalkicker next year!

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

I'm looking forward to the Tex and Betts shootout for leading goalkicker next year!

I'm looking forward to running onto the new Adelaide Oval for Eddie's 100th.....in Round 12!!!

 

[Jars458]

Congratulations guys. Really hope Eddie does enough for the Crows so you will grow to love him as we do. Just can't be upset with guy for looking after himself. He has a wife and a little one now and he has done the right thing. I'm going to miss the magic. Eddie does stuff that defy belief sometimes, and I hope he has got lots left in him.

He's a confidence player too. Back him in and be kind ... please.

He is the small forward we have craved for the whole of our Club's existence. This COULD be a big a move as Darren Jarman. Very excited.

Eddie's biggest problem will be the delivery from Danger, Sloan and Polec will be so good it will never fall out of tex's big mits!
