Thank you Eddie and all the best for what the future brings.

Hope he stays around the Club in some capacity.

 

[Zlatan]

Thanks for all the good times Ed!

Hopefully he stays on in some capacity at the club.

Legend! Icon! Top half dozen small forwards in VFL/AFL history.

Most respected person in AFL football.

Thank you, Eddie Betts!

 

[SolGoodman]

An absolute icon on and off the field, cuts deep that we missed most of his prime years to the Crows but am forever thankful for the joy Eddie has brought to myself and so many of us.

Keep fighting the good fight Eddie, love ya always.

He’s probably one of the first players from another club that I’ll really miss watching play. He brings so much joy to the game, he really enjoys it and you can’t help but love the guy. His smile makes you smile. All the best Eddie!

 

[Magruder]

Terrific footballer, even better human being.

 

[Gointocarlton]

Thanks Eddie (twice). Excitement machine and the best small fwd to play the game.

 

[AB_Blue]

Well done Eddie

Was wrapped to see you come back to Carlton, even tho I couldn’t get there to watch you do your thing live one last time.

Your a small forward who’s compassion and leadership transcends what you have achieved on the footy field

It was a pleasure watching you for 15 + years and I hope your not lost to the club

I know it’s an age old argument and Daisy did give us a few decent years of footy at the end. But I wish he had never left. But circumstances I know I know. Best small forward of all time, if not close to. Part of the era for me growing up. He is a fantastic human being and has given us a lot of memories. Thank you Eddie. Very much. Absolute pleasure.

And also you did your job fantastically, a lot of smiles I’m sure.

What a wonderful career, what a great player and what a wonderful human being.

It’s ok, at least you don’t have to change your name again...

 

[carlton_99]

Champion player champion person. Role model off the field and the most enjoyable player to watch on the field. Thanks for everything Eddie

 

[I bleed Blue]

Absolutely love Ed. Will go down as one of my all time favourite players.

My favourite game was when he kicked 8 and Walker took Mark of the century.

Shattered when Ed left us for Adelaide. Always thought he would be a one club player.

Glad he got to finish his career with us.

Legend on and off the field.

 

[drunkill]

Deserved to play infront of a home crowd a few more times.
