Everyone loves Eddie Betts. If you don't, you're doing footy wrong.

Not many players in the history of the game have produced such a steady stream of highlights over the course of a career, and even fewer have had a pocket named after them at their home ground.

On a weekly basis, Betts raises his own bar with goals most players wouldn't dare attempt. No angle is too acute, no pack too congested and no attempt too far-fetched for Eddie.

On Saturday night, he added another ripper to the highlights reel against GWS with an effort that may well earn him his third goal of the year award - the garage must surely be running out of room.

With Eddie Fever flowing through just about every footy fan in the country at the moment, treat yourself to a (by no means definitive) collection of the best of the Betts.

Round 10, 2016 v GWS

The goal that inspired the list, and one right up there with Betts's most sensational.

As the footy harmlessly rolled towards the boundary line, two players - mere mortals in the eyes of the Eddie - played it safe and attempted to usher it over and out.

Enter Eddie. Like next door's cat as you pull up your driveway, he came flying out of absolutely nowhere to snatch the ball and keep it alive. Bounding back to his feet, Eddie evaded a tackler and bought himself a yard of space.

From there, only one result was coming. Betts snapped truly from deep in the pocket, leaving a pile of bemused bodies and an utterly euphoric Adelaide Oval crowd in his wake.

Round 21, 2006 v Collingwood

Betts was only in his second season in 2006, and was still making a name for himself at the top level after being picked up by the Blues in the preseason draft.

Midway through this fixture against the finals-bound Magpies, Betts took his chance to steal the show. Kinda.

Plenty at the ground might have missed this goal as one great big unholy stink was going on in the centre square at the time. Alan Didak had just caved Heath Scotland's face in with a crude elbow, and all hell was breaking loose.

But as play continued around the mayhem, the ball found its way deep into the pocket of the MCG, where Betts robbed Tarkyn Lockyer of possession and defied the laws of physics with a checkside effort from the boundary for his first goal of the year gong.

Round 13, 2014 v North Melbourne

After less than a season at the rejuvenated Adelaide Oval, Eddie had his own pocket. And in this pocket, Eddie was free to do as he pleased.

So when he received the ball on the 50 metre arc with only inches between he and the boundary line, should anybody have been surprised by what happened next?

Perhaps the boundary umpire was kind to Eddie, as the ball looked awfully close to being out of bounds, but to have pulled this goal back would have been a serious injustice.

Somehow, Betts managed to contort the football over the goal umpire's hat. It is his pocket, after all.

Round 18, 2011 v Essendon

Sometimes, you need to spare a thought for defenders in the AFL. They are the ones that are trusted with trying to stop Betts, and more often than not they end up looking a bit silly in the process.

This goal, one of eight Eddie slotted against the Bombers on the night, was kicked from the exact position he received the ball - yet somehow Betts had managed to contort and twist and utterly bemuse a pair of defenders before converting.

There was a hop, a skip and a little dummy as Eddie broke some ankles and sent Michael Hurley lunging at fresh air before snapping over his shoulder.

Poor old Hurley is still looking for that footy today.

Round nine, 2015 v Fremantle

It was almost as if Eddie had run out of ways to impress us, so had to come up with something seriously crazy lest his act get a bit stale.

Right foot goals? Done 'em. The bananas and checksides? Done 'em. Freak goals from his very own pocket? Done 'em oh so many times.

What's left then? A left-footed torp from the opposite pocket? Sure, why not then.

Nobody else in the league would have had the guts to even attempt this effort on goal, let alone the skill to pull it off. After watching this, one seriously has to wonder if there's anything this magician can't do.
