He’s definitely not the GOAT, but he’s the trick shot GOAT
Eddie Betts also played for Carlton. Plenty of highlights online for him with the Blues too. Definatley a 🐐
Who cares the crows got the most out of Eddie
Eddie was always one of my top favourites, even after he left Carlton(guess who I support). He was an excitement machine anytime he was in the vicinity of the ball! He always had that knack of reading the play and putting himself in the right place at the right time. His agility as a small forward and accuracy are absolutely obvious.
As for GOAT, that’s impossible to really quantify in Aussie Rules. In my mind he’s certainly at or near the top of the list. I’ve never met him, but in interviews he always seems like a great bloke too.
As an Adelaidian i watched a lot of Eddie during his tenure at the crows, sometime even in person. He was phenomenal every. Single. Game. He is one of the reasons Crows came 2nd overall in 2017.

The most was by a player named Fred Fanning in the 1940's when he kicked 18 goals in a game.
However, for a game with a good recording to watch, Lance "Buddy" Franklin kicked 13 goals in one game. You should be able to find that pretty easily on RUclips
Pure joy is the perfect definition of Eddie. He is the most fun to watch player I've ever seen
I would say he's the best small forward to ever play the game. If someone saw only one of his freak goals, they'd say its a fluke. But he just kept on doing it. Beautiful kick on both sides of his body too.
Eddie Betts is an aboriginal/first nations player. The FN players are generally excellent players and the fact that the FN people only are 3%of the Aussie population proves that they play well above their 'weight' in footy. Shorter players are better able to get the low down balls more so than the taller ones.
Eddie is one of the greatest small forwards 👍
I'm a huge crows fan and watching eddie felt like my life was perfect, that feeling
He was a great player but he's also an amazing human being, using his platform to improve life for indigenous people and challenging racism.
Apart from his incredible footy skills, Eddie is a top bloke and don't you just love how much he enjoyed himself whilst playing?
My suggestion would be 'Dustin Martin 2017 Highlights' The single most dominant individual season I have ever seen a Player put in. Brownlow Medal, Norm Smith Medal, Premiership Player, All- Australian Player. None of these will mean anything to you at the moment, but that is the Qradrella of Achievements; to do it all in one Season is pretty much unique. I don't barrack for his Team, but gee, loved to see him play.
My kudos was for the comment about what a good bloke he is. This Bomber fan 100% agrees
Definitely agree on both counts. I feel like it would be harder for someone who doesn’t follow the sport to appreciate just how good Dusty was, though. He was a freak, but there won’t be as many of these easy to understand highlights, if that makes sense. Midfield just doesn’t have as many of these kinds highlights.
In the earlier iteration of the league, Fred Fanning kicked 18 goals in his final match for Melbourne. Since the league became the AFL, the record was 17 by Jason Dunstall in 1992 against Richmond
You need to watch how Mason Cox got into AFL and plays for Collingwood. He is an American and he hadn't even played the game till Collingwood asked him to come over to Australia to try and play the game and get into the team.
The “don’t believe in never” video is really good
I never want to deny the journey Cox has taken but he is hardly a goat.
Buddy franklin a must
They can kick a goal from behind the boundary and goal line it's called a banana or checkside kick and you "helicopter " it so it goes out in a arc and bends back in. Great to see lots of players do it but Eddie was a master.
Check out lance franklin’s 1000th goal celebration. And the GOAT Gary Ablett Jr highlights
Betts played most of his career at Carlton , he was a life member at Carlton when he went to Adelaide , and ended his career at Carlton also , family reasons saw him go home to S A
Top bloke. Great skills.
Most goals kicked by a player is 18 back in 1947-Fred fanning
Most goals kicked by a player in their entire career 1360 player retired in 2002- tony Lockett
Most goals kicked in a season 150 back in the player 1934-bob Pratt/ Peter Hudson 1971
Not that Fred Fanning played AFL, that was VFL. If you're going to include that, let's throw in SANFL as well...the record is then 23 goals 6 out of a team score of 26.12. Ken Farmer, 1930s. Also beats Lockett, 1419 goals. Rick Davies 152, Scott Hodges 154 in a season..
@@digimontDude, SANFL doesn't count, second rate competition 🤣
Eddie started at Carlton from 2005 - 2013, playing 184 games and kicking 290 Goals; then moved to Adelaide Crows from 2014 - 2019, playing 132 games and kicking 310 Goals. Eventually he returned to Carlton from 2020 - 2021, playing 34 games and kicking 40 Goals. He played Representative football, lining up with the Indigenous All-Stars in 2007 and 2013, then the All Stars in 2020; he lined up 7 times in the International Team from 2010 - 2017, playing against Irish Gaelic Team in both forms of football(Aussie Rules and Gaelic). After his retirement, he began the job of development coach at Geelong Football; where he helped former Crows teammate Tyson Stengle at Geelong, and helped him to become a member of the 2022 All Australian roster.
You need to react to the best goals of the decade 2010-19
Eddie Betts also played for the Carlton Football Club
The most goals in a game was 18 goals by Fred Fanning in 1947.
It's not Ghee-Long it's G-Long
Eddie's one of the fan favourites - everyone loves him (no matter who they barrack for). Comes across as a great bloke too. For some reason he couldn't train with Adelaide (can't remember why) and just showed up at a local Amateur League club (Not even top level, I think maybe in Division 3 or 4) and asked "do you mind if I train with you guys tonight"....
Cyril Rioli and Buddy Franklin are two players you absolutely need to watch highlights of.
I don't think you can goat as easily with AFL. It really is a team game with different players contributing in different ways, doing different things. Having said that, Eddie is a Legend.
As for legends, unfortunately most earlier players won't have a highlights reel so remember it will be over represented by newer players.
Being a Blues supporter I have to mention Craig Bradley (7 times selected for all aust team of the year), Steven Silvagni (recognized as one of the greatest fullbacks in AFL history), Greg Williams, Bruce Doull, Gary Ablett snr and Graham Farmer (acknowledged as one of the greatest rucks of all time) all from the team of the century.
Glad you are enjoying your journey, hope to see you enjoy a full game (last years final was one of the best you'll see).
Mark Ricciuto 8 times All Australian, Brownlow Medal.
you should watch some "last 2 minutes" videos from the AFL channel. a good one to start with is "Port Adelaide v Adelaide | Round 8, 2018 | AAMI Last Two Minutes | AFL"
He started at Carlton then went to the Crows then finished back at Carlton . This is only half of his highlights . He was good because he was small . That made him incredibly elusive and quick . His reactions were ahead of just about everyone and his ability to kick a goal , especially close in , was un matched . There are few that could pull off those goals on the opposite side of his body like that to , left or right it didnt matter to Eddie . He is also one of the most loved players because hes just such a nice guy and hes always happy.
Another GOAT to check out would be Garry Ablett ,Snr and Jnr .They were both incredible players and its not often you get a Father Son combo that could be considered to be the greatest as individuals. Others to watch would be Buddy Franklin , Dustan Martin .
We are all getting excited for the new season so your reactions are most appreciated . 👍
In 1947 Fred Fanning kicked 18 goals for Melbourne. This is one of AFLs unbreakable records. Jason Dunstall kicked 17 in 1992.
if you want to watch something related to the Crows, look at a showdown, it is basically a finals game, played during the minor rounds, it is probably the best rivalry going right now in the AFL.
Cyril Rioli is phenomenal
Eddie is a 🐐 in the context of small forwards. He’s up there with Peter Daicos and a few others.
All-time goat (in any position) is very hard, as you say. In recent times though, I’d say Gary Ablett Jnr, Chris Judd, Lance Franklin, Adam Goodes, Scott Pendlebury, Andrew McLeod, Wayne Carey, Tony Lockett, James Hird, Nathan Buckley are the best of the AFL era.
Eddie Betts was a great player, but he's not the "GOAT". However, he did forge a very long and successful career, in the notoriously difficult position of "small forward", and IMHO would at least be in the conversation for "Small Forward GOAT", where ability to read the play, pace, agility and goal kicking skill are paramount. Small forward is a somewhat peripheral position in footy, where the real gun players are usually "midfielders" or "key position" (either forwards or defenders) whom have a larger impact on games and are of greater "structural significance" for the team. For some of the recent greats in these positions, check out; Lance (Buddy) Franklin, Dustin Martin, Gary Ablett jr as the standouts for the past 20 years. Really enjoying watching your journey with AFL (footy), it's a great game. Cheers!
Buddy Franklins 1000 goals - you should watch that
Kevin Bartlett would be a similar player and much more successful in regards to number of grandfinals won 5 and played over 400 games.
Kicked 7 goals in the 1980 grandfinal. As a rover and small forward he was pretty handy. Most goals in a game was Fred fanning with 18 in 1947 against St kilda .
Watch Tony modra(godra), Gary ablett Sr & Jr, lance franklin and leigh Matthews(arguably the afl goat)
Well it’s either Betts or Milne for the best small forward of all time.
I go with Betts, I’d say majority would, even though Milne has a better Goal average.
It was as if he had the ball on a string, always entertaining to watch him.
Most goals in a game by one player is 19, and back 30+ years ago players regularly kicked 8+ goals. A high-quality forward in the modern game will average 2+ goals a game. The highest per game average in 2023 was Taylor Walker with 3.5.
should check out Dustin Martin highlights
You've got a great vibe for doing a channel like this Bobby! And you'd do really well at a public speaking gig, if you've never considered it. A presentation style that keeps people's attention.
(Enjoying watching your AFL vids particularly)
For the record, a uni in Australia is a short form of university, or a college to you Americans. So not rude like root, but still confusing. The shirt is normally referred to as a jersey or guernsey.
Long sleeves = jersey
Sleeveless = guernsey
you get a like ball-magnet 🤣
as a carlton man I dont think you can go past ablet in the goat talk
Every time i watch a foward with smarts , my heart breaks , why did THE BUZZ , MR GUSTO , PETER BOUSTOW , Retire so early , he was extra ordinary , he did what Eddie did , what Cripps does , he was a sensation , why Buzz , yah retired a long time , i was shattered , a once in a life time player , ask Capt Blood , GO BLUES RARARA
History of the game? Here is a mini documentary about Tom Wills, the founder of Australian football:
ruclips.net/video/fv6dAoUcSrM/видео.htmlsi=PKH_e07XtFanuxo3
There is only one goat - Gary Ablett snr (his son's pretty good, too)
Eddie was unusual in that he was loved by ALL supporters and his celebrations after a goal was not about himself it was just about enjoying playing well with teamates and supporters not a big ego look at me thing. Goat and Eddie no. Hard to have a Goat in a game going back to 1858.
Watch Tony Lockett kick the most goals ever when he was still playing a few years ago with the Sydney Swans. This record won't be broken with how the modern game is played now. You won't expect what happens when he scores it. It's tradition when a player kicks 100 goals in a season too.
‘Girlfriend’ sure buddy
Eddie Betts true Carlton player 💙
Did some good work over at crows tho
Eddie can justifiably claim to be the best " goal Kicking ' small forward, and the best at kicking the impossible freakish goals.... but their were others .
Cyril Rioli was probably as good as Eddie for kicking goals, but that wasn't Cyrils main job.
Cyrils job was to apply pressure and tackle the defenders to keep the ball locked into the forward line until his team scored .
If a scoring opportunity presented itself, then Cyril was allowed to go for it, but first he must read the game and position himself to apply pressure.
Leigh Mathews was the best small forward ever... ..so good he was also a top class Full Forward .
In his youth and at his peak, Mathews was the best ROVER ( small fast midfielder / onballer ), except he wasn't fast and wasn't so small.
Mathews was like a cannon ball , as cold as ice, and a human wrecking ball with a well earnt reputation of destroying much bigger nasty players in head on clashes.
16 stone monsters only ran into Mathews once .. ...after that they kept away from him.
Mathews probably still holds the record for the most kicks and most possession in a season.....he also came close to the most marks, and kicked the most goals, kicking more than any of the key forwards.....but he was a rover playing on the ball and around the centre.
That year he broke all the records, but hardly polled a vote for the Brownlow Medal ( MVP ), because the umpires didn't like how he used his body like a battering ram. lol
Now watch a Shane Warne video .
Different game, but similar freakish and impossible skills.
Shane could make a cricket ball spin almost at right angles......impossible to play when bowled accurately, and impossible for any other wrist spinner to bowl accurately. lol
Cyril rioli from hawthorn is the goat
The GOAT would be Gary Ablett snr.
5 people above him on the goal kicking records would suggest that he isn't.
@@athlonen Goal kicking isn't everything but if you think "only" being number 6 on that list somehow disqualifies him to be the GOAT then you're as dumb as your first reply suggests you are.
BTW, I have never heard someone describe Tony Lockett, who is number one on that list as the GOAT.
Quite dumb indeed really.
The best small forward ever but not the goat
Cyril Rioli>Eddie Betts
Cyril has won 4 Premierships and a Norm Smith Medal
Eddie doesn't even make top 50 greatest😂
"girlfriend" lol. You mean "female friend".
Gf, I mean no offence but I was convinced you were gay. Nothing wrong with that btw, I just thought I heard the accent slightly
Silly me 🤦🏼♂️
Leigh Matthews easy
Check out Dustin Martin. He's better than Eddie
Watch the grand final replay 2023...one of the best games youll ever see. Pies v Brisbane...
He wants the footy more than over bloke..
Eddie was always one of my top favourites, even after he left Carlton(guess who I support). He was an excitement machine anytime he was in the vicinity of the ball! He always had that knack of reading the play and putting himself in the right place at the right time. His agility as a small forward and accuracy are absolutely obvious.
As for GOAT, that’s impossible to really quantify in Aussie Rules. In my mind he’s certainly at or near the top of the list. I’ve never met him, but in interviews he always seems like a great bloke too.
