Agree, but he did earlier in his journey.You think Mackay signed at $400k? Righto
Yeh we got the best years from him happy to see him go home nowHas there ever been a footballer like Eddie Betts. His story will make a great book one day. Both Adelaide fans and Carlton fans have been blessed that such a person has represented both clubs with honour and distinction. Looking forward and grateful that I get to see him finish his career at the club where it all began.
Yes farke.n. You could of had him for the full term but you went pushed up Daisies.Has there ever been a footballer like Eddie Betts. His story will make a great book one day.

Yeah no doubt. Played his best footy at Adelaide.

But yeah it good it finishes where he began.
Still hope to see some magic from himYep. 100% agree. Still I do not think he would have realised his full potential at Carlton. His years at Adelaide we no doubt his best
Oh you’re just being nice on oppo board. Some of his feats at Carlton pre were also miraculous.Yep. 100% agree. Still I do not think he would have realised his full potential at Carlton. His years at Adelaide we no doubt his best
AFL will try and manipulate a Carlton fairytale next year!I will say it's a shame we couldn't make Eddie a premiership player, he deserved it
Clearly things have not gone well the last 2 years, but it’s clear they’re trying to mend bridges, remove personnel responsible (yes, I know Chapman is still there) and move on.In before one of our usual suspects pops up with another of the world's falsest dichotomies.
"Well, you weren't happy when we wouldnt play the kids, and now you're not happy when we ruin the relationship with a club legend to the point that he no longer wants to be associated with the club. Just can't win with you, can we? "
That is one take on it....or the club signed Eddie up to invest is a three year premiership window that never came. Now we need to move on.I don't understand. We signed him for 3 years and then after 2 years we take a crap trade to send him to Carlton and pay him part of his salary? I reckon the club did this because the club wronged Eddie very badly and this is compensation for whatever harm they did. I know this is speculation, but this club gives me no other choice but to speculate since all they're concerned about is trying to maintain some unattainable perfect public image. This club will literally lie to its members to avoid public accountability for their actions, if the club isn't broken, as Dunstall says, why do so many people want out, even those who are contracted beyond this year? All I know is the club has done something really bad that they will never admit to us if they can get away with it, just like they tried to do with TIppett.
Hopefully brainwashed. There is video evidence of his kids saying they want to play with crows not CarltonWill be weird for his kids. Have grown up with the crows and will now get probably 1 year supporting the blues. Wonder if they'll stay with them after next year?
Neddie chant too in 2020?Just stick an "N" in front of it.
You realise he's just reading an autocue?Matthew Pavlich of external review insider status just raised this story on Nine News WA as ‘Eddie Betts flees the Crows nest’.
Wonder if he also feels that Chapman is a brilliant chairman.

When will you be able to actually move on from all of this s**t and enjoy watching the Crows again? Surely pushing out senior players at the right time, refreshing the footy department and hopefully a promotion of youth next season ticks all your boxes?
Oh just * off campaigner*You realise he's just reading an autocue?
But you get the child more interested in your club than the other by having the child around the club. Lewie is a huge Adelaide Crows fan. He's been adorable to watch at SANFL games where he would get upset about other club songs being played and only wanting to hear the Crows song. Now his dad will finish his career at the other club and he will grow up associating around that club more than us.
Hai DHOh just fu** off campaigner*
lulz at Murray post.
Loved itHai DH
.How old are they?
Gosh the footy landscape will change so much by the time they are considered an option you would imagine.
