There are plenty of players that celebrate goals in a similar way to Betts. While Eddie's goal celebrations tend to be very much "look at me", if he has just kicked a great goal then why not.

Despite the SA media's over hyping of everything Eddie Betts I agree with Power Girl that Eddie is actually humble. If you can't see that because he plays for the Crers then fair enough.
Na disliked him at Carlton too.

Yeah Eddie's fine, you just need to see how well he handled Bananagate to know what sort of guy he is.

JJ on the other hand, what a plonker. "Pert pears kidz sed mean things to me!" Far out man, grow a pair. I take great comfort knowing they flinched and gave him half a mill plus over multiple years. He will be their Lobbe extension +200 thou per annum.

The drafting of Ben Jarman is nothing more than a PR exercise. From the sounds of things he might have a 10% chance of making it. Probably worth the punt for Adelaide to keep the masses happy. If he fails, which is the likely outcome, they can say at least they tried, if on the odd chance he becomes a player, then it's a fantastic story and it'll be Apricot Slices all round. The worst outcome for them would have been if he went to another club (even worse Us) and became a players........ there would be Kamikaze Camrys driven at 25km an hour into Crow Mania. Fages would have to walk briskly to avoid them all.
What a "sideshow".

Oh god..Eddie Betts has taken over from Dangerfield in this town..the crers media saturation continues. )but good on Eddiecrers for what they did over there..
Knighthood on its way)
True, but at least Eddie isn't a complete tosser like Danger was/is.

Mad Monk: Eddie, it's Tone.
Betts: Yeah mate, what can I help you with?
Mad Monk: Just giving you a heads-up that I am going to give you a knighthood.
Betts: Thanks for the thought Tone but I really can't accept it. Besides, I've already got a pocket at Adelaide Oval.
Well, he'd be a less objectionable choice than Prince Phillip.

I don't live in SA so I never hear him.

I only really know about him through this thread.

This was probably the most idiotic thing I have heard him say.
You know how Australians ironically call rangas Blue or Bluey and quiet people Rowdy. Well calling Stephen Rowe "Stupid" is not like that. He is truly an individual of very low intelligence.

Mad Monk: Your Royal Highness, on behalf of the Australian people I am going to award you a knighthood.
HRH Prince Phillip: My dear fellow, you do realise that one already is a prince and that a prince outranks a knight?
Mad Monk: Errr what o_O

Nah not the prolonged chest beating arms out like christ shit
Actually I think Chad's celebrations are worse! We just see it through blinkered Port eyes. His is a more subtle, but insolent, look-down-the-nose celebration, that screams "look at me" even more so than Any Bets' ... I love it! :p

I don't care if Betts wants to celebrate a goal, it's when hideous looking spuds like Rory Atkins bask in his reflected glory that pisses me off.
Spot on.

Eddie is a good human and a star footballer. No issues.

You know I was going to say the same but for the life of me couldn't care enough to recall his name.

And again I say, Who?

It's not your fault. Calling a Crows player Rory, doesn't really clear anything up and certainly doesn't identify the player in question.
