Article heading image for Eddie Betts Reveals How Contract Negotiations Went Down

Last week, a massive deal was announced for Eddie Betts and the Adelaide Crows - a whopping 3 years secured by star player.

Ditts mentioned that "in recent years when someone turns 30 at the Adelaide Football club, they tend to get one year deals and it’s a bit of a battle. You’ve been given 3 years!"

So, why the confidence in giving Eddie this long term deal?

Eddie told Roo & Ditts, "they approached me and said, how long do you reckon can you play for? And I just jokingly said 3!"

Roo reckons Eddie should have said 5 years!

"My body’s feeling good! I haven’t really missed a game, or I hadn’t since I’ve come across to the Adelaide Crows.

Off footy… My kids are 4 now, you gotta think where are they going to school."

Roo asked, "are they pumped about you staying at Adelaide?"

They are! I said to little Lewie: “do you want me to finish up next year or do you want me to keep going?” He said, “Nah you can play at the Crows forever!”
