Eddie Betts adds to Carlton's register of absences CARLTON is still reeling from its upset loss to St Kilda on Monday night at Etihad Stadium, with small forward Eddie Betts another casualty from the contest that prevented the Blues from winning their fourth match in succession. An undermanned Carlton has lost Betts for the next three rounds, starting with Sunday's match against Port Adelaide, after he was offered the sanction yesterday by the match review panel. Following a high bump that resulted in first-year St Kilda defender Nathan Wright being admitted to hospital with a broken jaw, Betts was charged with engaging in rough conduct after making late contact after Wright had disposed of the ball. He was handed a five-week ban, which can be reduced because of his previous six-year clean record. The incident was assessed as reckless conduct, severe impact and high contact, initially drawing 550 demerit points and a five-match sanction. With discounts for good behaviour and an early guilty plea, his demerit points can be reduced to 309.38. He is the second Carlton player to be suspended in as many weeks following Jarad Waite's one-match ban for an intentional headbutt to Melbourne's Tom McDonald, which cost an undisciplined Waite a place against the Saints. Wright is the second St Kilda player this season to have his jaw fractured, following a similar injury to Jack Newnes against Greater Western Sydney, which led to the suspension of Giants ruckman Dean Brogan. While Waite will be back for Sunday's match against Port Adelaide at Etihad Stadium, midfielder Andrew Carrazzo, who has missed the past two rounds with a calf injury, will be assessed later this week. Bryce Gibbs is also expected to resume against Port after missing the past two rounds with a hamstring problem. Full-back Michael Jamison, who has a history of shoulder dislocations, was hurt early against the Saints and will also be tested this week despite playing out Monday night's match. Chris Yarran, who has kicked 13 goals this season, will miss several weeks with a hamstring strain. Teammate David Ellard could miss at least the next six rounds after tearing his hamstring in the opening quarter.
