Mr Eddie Betts, if your club ever needed your football magic it is this weekend. You have been struggling the last month or so, I think its time to unleash the real Eddie and get those goal kicking boots on.

Take the game on Eddie and bring us back a final at the G for next saturday:footy:
 
he really needs to rediscover his early season form, anz stadium is a big ground so hopefully the three amigos can run rampant, start him in the middle for a change, give him easy touches
 
If he kicks straight and boots the first couple.....it will be on...will boost his confidence :thumbsu:

it's picked up by russell on the bank flank,he goes in board to gibbs,gibbs hands off to the running armfield,armfied gives it to judd,he kicks long to henderson,front and centre is betts,betts kicks his 5th for the quater.
Carlton go to 5-1=31 to sydney 0-0=0.Dream start by eddie:p
 
He hasn't done much the last 6 months, and has been especially ordinary against good teams that get the jump on him.

He will need a big rocket up his bum, and would do well in the centre BUT he will need bloody Hendo and Waite to hold marks and Garlett and Simmo to mop u with precision or the bloody Sh!tney Shwans will beat us easily by 8 goals.

You watch all their bloody old timers like Kirk and Goodes will come out and smash us then play their frucken stupid chip=chip bullshit to rub it in.

Geez I hate frucken sh!tney!

He's our leading goalkicker, that would tend to suggest he is anything but useless. Yes his last 4-6 weeks have been quiet, but prior to that he was being talked about as a possible AA chance.

Last month or so has been more than quiet M, he's been poor. His interstate record is nothing short of pathetic.

Claims 'leadership' of the goalsneaks up forward well it's time to show some real leadership tomorrow Eddie - lead by example man, tackle and for **** sake kick straight from your set shots!!
 
Garlett is already a better player than Eddie for mine. Eddie goes missing and only contributes in junk time.

Garlett works his ass off and is usually good for 2 goals a game.

Eddie needs to pull his finger out, stop doing aresy shit and actually contribute.

It is worth noting that Eddie is #1 in the competition for goal assists, despite his recent indifferent form. This, combined with being our leading goalkicker, adds up to a fairly good season from a player who has had to fill the huge hole left by the trading of the 2009 Coleman Medallist. It would have been nice to see him finish the H & A season strongly, but I think some posters are being a touch harsh in their assessment of Eddie (particularly the poster who suggested Eddie is useless).

Yet he didn't even make the 40 man squad, nor was he stiff to miss it.

He is lucky to be in the team, because recent form does not warrant it. Needs to step up big time tomorrow.

I was responding to a poster who stated that Eddie was useless, which of course is bullshit. Not for a moment was I trying to put a positive spin on Eddie's performances in the latter part of the season.

I just get sick of the vicious comments made about some of our players, particularly those players who have had to carry a heavy burden this season due to the pathetic behaviour of the 2009 Coleman Medallist. There has been some disappointing performances by some of our most talented & experienced players this season, but they tend to fly under the radar, while posters aggressively go after some of the lesser (& younger) lights on the list.

Some perspective doesn't go astray.

3rd on average goals, behind Waite and Garlett. Remarkable by Garlett, who in his second season has averaged more goals than most of the competition's forward pockets have ever managed. :thumbsu:

Agree though, Funky does seem to have an irrational hatred for Betts.
 
Why no love for Betts?

Sure he's not absolutely dominating by kicking goals and gathering a lot of possessions, However he's been doing the little things that count.

Last 4 games averages for Betts: 12.25 disposals, 2.25marks, 1 goal, 3.75 tackles, 2.25goal assists, 3.25 goals contribute and 1.5 inside 50's.

Not solid numbers to his usual form, but his chases and his defensive pressure is right up there with the best small forwards.

Betts lead the AFL in 2010 in Goal Assists with 28

Betts was 3rd in the AFL in 2009 in Goal Assists with 22

Betts was 7th in the AFL in 2010 in Goals Contributed with 70

Betts was 12 in the AFL in 2009 in Goals Contributed with 66

Betts was 6th in the AFL in 2010 in Goals(For Small Forwards) with 42

Betts was 6th in the AFL in 2009 in Goals(For Small Fowards) with 38

As you may very well be aware and as you can see Eddie Betts is far to valuable to leave out of the Carlton team. He does so much and has improved every year since debuting in 2005.
It would not shock me one bit if Eddie Betts makes the All Australian Team in 2011.

He has everyone fooled. Betts is not a good footballer! He is a downhill skier, 4th quarter specialist. He rarely sets up goals, instead running forward to finish someone else's hard work. He is the worst set shot in our team. - Can't kick 50 meters. Adds no defensive pressure as well.

If it was up to me I'd trade him while he still has some sort of value. West Coast would be very interested. Garlett's a better player, and I'd even be more confident using Simpson or Yarran up forward in spurts. So his loss wouldn't be felt in the slightest.
 
Junkalicious-i shake my head roll my eyes facepalm and believe you may be a puppet for another troll:thumbsd:
