Carlton veteran Kade Simpson will retire at the end of the season, having played more than 340 games for the Blues.
Carlton veteran Kade Simpson, who played for longer than all but two Blues, will play the final game of his AFL career on Saturday night at the Gabba.
Betts is assured of being at Carlton next year, in either an off-field role or on the playing list, with the decision by Tom Papley to stick with Sydney arguably improving Betts' prospects of getting another season.Carlton are mindful of the need to continue a transition of the playing list, and are also hoping to land Greater Western Sydney's running defender Zac Williams, who shapes as an ideal replacement for Simpson if he chooses the Blues.
Simpson, who did not get a touch in his first three games, was remarkably resilient, playing 158 consecutive games in a stretch from 2005 until 2012 and ranks third behind Craig Bradley and Bruce Doull as the list of games played at Carlton.
