That was good to read in the papers this morning.

Gun player and one we sorely need in a our F50.

Looking forward to a great 2 more seasons from Eddie.

He's been one of our most improved players this year. Well done Eddie - thoroughly deserved.

Great news. One of my favourites.

Has not missed a beat since coming to the club. Has improved every season he has played.

Pagan obviously did a lot wrong but one thing we can be thankful for is that he pumped so many games into Eddie Betts in his first couple of years at the club.

Great. I think he has been one of our most important players this year. Never stops trying. I love his spirit too. And he's started to take some amazing overhead marks under pressure.

At the start of the season, I thought this was a make or break year for Eddie. His pre-season form was average and last year he just didn't do enough in too many games, and I actually thought DP showed a lot of patience with him. But after 9 Rounds, he's just about the most improved player in the AFL. Keep up the good work Eddie!!

He is very young too, he has many years to improve.

thing i love most about eddie is how good a club person he is. at training, he is always loving every minute of it and it rubs off onto other players. he is always joking and making others happy. to see gibbs hugging him after yesterday's game was a great sign, peple like eddie will play a part in keeping players like gibbs at the club. keep up the good work!

I'm ready to put my hand up and say that I had my doubts... his work overhead and delivery by foot are what I like the most.

THE most improved player at the club.
