Is Carlton's Eddie Betts worth 600k?

This question came up on AFL 360 last night. that Eddie Betts manager. is chasing 600,000 in a new deal with the Carlton F.C. Now im not sure whether this is for 1 season. but if it is. i see Eddie being used as trade bait at seasons end.

He is certainly not worth that much. Maybe he could have commanded that type of money if the team gave in and he had a season this year similar to the one he had last year. But with only 17 goals in 11 games and players like Garlett, Yarran, Menzel and Buckley waiting in the wings, he just can't earn that much per year.

Betts is a little gun, but I don't think he's worth anywhere near that amount, if a club pays him 600k a year they would be paying overs, and putting their club under undue financial strain, 400k tops in my books and even that is pushing it. I doubt he'll get 600k, that's a hell of a lot of cash for a small forward, it's be different if he kicked 60+ gls a year.

lol the answer to that is exactly as they kept saying (well showing the clip of) Tell him he's dreamin

IMO....no way. He'll be lucky if Malthouse decides to keep at the club. I think Carlton will use Betts as trade bait, I don't see him staying at Carlton beyond 2013. Whether, Eddie excepts the deal, is another matter.

No. Betts would not be worth more than 300k in a functioning forward line and that is something the Blues haven't got.

Nope, hes a good player but i don't think he's good enough for 600k.

Nah, that's a little too much for a small forward like himself. 600k would be worth like a Nick Riewoldt.

Hell no. And I'm a blues fan.. stamp his walking papers
