Retiring after season
Betts will retire after Round 23 against GWS, it was announced Monday.
ANALYSIS
Betts will finish with 350 games played from 2005 between Adelaide and Carlton. While he never lit up the scoring charts, Betts was always good for a spectacular goal, and racked up the best goal of the season on four different occasions. After he's gone, it's up to Patrick Cripps and Sam Walsh to lead Carlton into the future.

Out with ankle injury

ANALYSIS
Betts has scored 24 goals in 16 games played and this knock comes at an unfortunate moment with Harry McKay (toe) also hurt. With a few games left to go, Betts should be back well before the season ends.

Matches game-high five goals
Betts collected 13 disposals, five goals, two marks and a tackle and clearance each Sunday as Carlton fell to Western 107-91 at Marvel Stadium.
ANALYSIS
Betts may have set season-best marks for handballs (6) and disposals in Sunday's contest, but it is was game-high tying five goals that caused him to jump off the page statistically. The 34-year old has now registered eight majors in his last two games and currently ranks seventh in the AFL for goals assists per game (1.5) on the year, but remains a fantasy afterthought thanks to a fantasy score per game average of 51.2.

Off injury list
Betts isn't listed on Carlton's injury report ahead of a Round 3 match against Freemantle.
ANALYSIS
Betts had the chance to be a medical substitute for Round 2, but that spot was given to Oscar McDonald. Seeing as he had the chance to play then, he's at least healthy enough to be available for selection this week.
