Betts, when they realise what a squib he is. Give the fans a month before he is labelled a overpaid Carlton hack

38, 42, 50, 48, 27 goals in the last 5 years.
just looking at the leading goalkickers for small forwards in those 5 years, you could pretty much say milne, lecras and stevie j (if you can call him a small foward) are the only ones that did consistently better than him.
also compare that with the crows leading goalkicker tally over those years 57, 46, 32, 63, 33
betts tally would have placed him 4th, 2nd, 1st, 2nd, 3rd for the crows goalkicking.
but dont let stats get in the way of a good story lads

Those stats dont disprove that he is a squib though. I think many Carlton fans were of the belief he has a pea heart and tended to go missing in the big ones. And while he is doing well at the Cows all will be good but watch the knives come out if he doesnt perform, thats when the Carlton hack label will get thrown around

i think it is really good recruiting by the crows. a goal scoring small forward is something we have lacked for years, porpoise isnt really a genuine crumber, petrekno doesnt kick anywhere near enough goals, and callinan did ok for 1 year but didnt put any forward line pressure on which betts can do too.
recruited for our glaring weakness, i think if he gets us 40 goals he will be worth every cent
