You wonder what effect the decision to let Betts walk had on Jeffy & Yarran. I assume all were tight.

It's compounded by signing Dale Thomas at the same time. I wonder if some players sulked about overpaying for a mercenary from Collingwood more money whilst they let go of a loyal Carlton person.

Refused to accept less $$$ to stay with us...

None of his team mates put their hands up to help keep him here

Shit culture of individuals

Would you take a pay cut at work to keep one of your fellow work mates in a job you was thinking of going to the opposition

Geelong Cats agree to pay cuts to stay together as a team

He deserved a pay rise, Carlton weren't prepared to offer one because they wanted to recruit Dale Thomas.

Betts is an A-grader at the Crows. Leads all-comers for defensive pressure, score assists and goals.

He grew up at Carlton and we should have kept him.

He wasn't buying the message he was being sold.
His first season under Malthouse was his worst in a long time.
From memory he was dropped.
Just like Garlett and Waite and yet all 3 seem to be kicking on elsewhere.
Does a fat wallet make you play better

after the win against collingwood in round 2, eddie was interviewed and asked about his now toned down goal celebration.

his response?

"have to do the team things now".

Throw in Jacobs & Laidler & with the goal sneaks you have the nucleus of a fair side

I regret trading Kris Massie. That's when the rot set it.
