His defensive pressure in the forward line is second to none. It's a credit to himself that he is able to tackle someone, bring them to ground, get up and tackle the next person. In these situations, you'll usually see Eddie do it 3 or 4 times.
Agree with most of what you said about Betts but have you watched Jarrod Waite?
I think its an insult to Waite to say Betts is second to none at defensive forward pressure. As far as I'm concerned Waite is equal to Hamill as the best defensive forward in the AFL. I don't think I've seen someone cover so much ground to pressure or tackle the opposistion. Those 50m plus runs and dive's are bloody fantastic and obviously are still going un-noticed by Carlton supporters.
Anyway well done to Eddie for doing so well in his first year and being along with Davies the 2nd best defensive forward for the blues!
