At 32, things are catching up to the goal sneak.
Does he have another year in him?
Is a return to Carlton on the cards?
Eddie Betts dropped

On the face of it, better than last year but his goals tally of 32 so far this year is inflated by two bags of 6 against Gold Coast. Thus, in his last four games, he has 0, 0, 6 and 0 goals.
Realistically, he is two years into a terminal career decline. His scoring by season since he went to Adelaide has been 51.22, 63.25, 75.31, 55.34, 29.20 and 32.17. His goal assists have also dropped significantly.
I think the stats probably reflect what I've felt watching Adelaide this year - I've repeatedly expected him to be a threat but he's been mostly a marginal figure.
