The Eddie Betts pocket is a beat up, it's just his supporters having a good time (it's not as though it's officially named that way). They'll celebrate it when he plays well and cop it when he doesn't, but at the end if the day that's life as a football supporter across the board.

Like I said, Adelaide kept him out of the media leading up to his 200th as they know he's not a fan of the spotlight, yet they get 3-400 people wearing a shirt with his face on it and put his name on the scoreboard "Eddie Betts pocket".

As good as goals Eddie has kicked from that pocket, have a look at the angles of the pockets at the new AO, they are virtually non existant, the boundary lines come straight out from the point posts, which makes shots from the boundary easier than they look on TV, if the same shot at the same angle was at the MCG Eddie would have been 10m inside the boundary. Also explains why the ground is a high scoring ground, compared to others.

Spot light off the field perhaps, hence no press conferences or articles (although i dont read the Tiser so wouldnt know if Betts was interviewed for one). If you cant handle the spot light on the field then you shouldnt be playing the game at any level. I thought the shirts were a good idea and if Betts kicked a goal from that pocket he wouldve been right over to the fence, high fiving all the people wearing the shirts.
Oh well, we move on to the next round. Huge game v the Pies, finals make or break time.

Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Yep good point that is why Eddie's goals from the pocket at the MCG are better.
Funny that... But just remember,who laughs last,laughs longest.This season is far from over for Port.

First paragraph of tom richardson from indaily, weekend summary of afl footy (he is a rabid crows supporter)-- made me laugh
We all have our favourite Dom Cassisi moment.
Mine is probably the first round of the now-defunct Wizard Cup pre-season competition in 2003, when he gave away a free kick in the dying seconds to the Crows’ Chris Ladhams, whose checkside goal gave Adelaide a one-point win.
