"He's not just a role model for South Australians or people from Darwin. I grew up in Western Australia, but I barracked for Adelaide and he was my favourite player.

"I got a chance to play with my idol when he captained the indigenous team up in Darwin. He was such a freak and won a couple of Grand Finals off his own boot."

Gavin Wanganeen, Adam Goodes, Michael Long, Nicky Winmar and both Jim and Phil Krakouer are also among those nominated by Betts.
