    The same report said that Rivers would miss one week (at best.)

    I'm not holding my breath on that one though.

    Rivers strained his abdomenal muscles... strange injury... hope it's not code for OP...

    as for beamer, not good news, his form had been better... should see Valenti come back into the side to replace him in that inside midfielder role...

    gives zomer the opportunity to claim a spot... if he can kick some goals in the sandy 1's there's no reason he can't be promoted and get a game...

    if this happens CC did a great job with his rookie drafting last season... would any club have elevated 3 rookies all in the one season before?

    AFL.com.au just confirmed it.

    Really is such a shame. Beamer whilst starting the season like a headless chook was really coming into some good form and showing plenty of leadership.

    Too right, he looked like a bloke who loved playing for his club, and he was showing more every week. I hope the club keeps the faith.

    He plays close to the edge-always prone to be injured. He will be back. Stay around the club Beamer, you're a good example for those rookies...

  • Quote

    i think he is out of contract at years end.

    gotta wonder if he is worth keeping on the list.

    I love the guys passion and work ethic and when he is good he's very good.

    Unfortunately his constant injuries have him out of the side far too often, and it doesn't look like he is ever going to get a constant run to start producing his best.

  • Quote

    no way...keep him on the list...the kid is a legend and bleeds for this club

    i have met him a couple of times and he is great, he deserves to get his contract renewed

    so now that neits is retired (due to a long term injury)...valenti or presumably wonna can play on

    and now that grimes is coming back moloney will allow for valenti/zomer to play

    i dont think it is possible for us to promote a third rookie unless we have another LTI

    also, a player retiring or getting de-listed mid season doesnt allow a player to get promoted unless i think they were already on the LTI list like neitz

    ps good to hear rivers isnt out for tooo long

    Good luck to him in getting back.

    Does anyone know his contract status? I hope the club keep the faith in him, he wouldnt cost much. Knowing Beamer, he loves Melbourne so much he'd probably play for free (or base salary, i'm sure, rather than go to another club)!

    It's such an absolute shame for a great bloke who gives his heart and soul to the club every time he plays. Was certainly starting to show more passion after that quarter time spray DB gave him against Freo, and hasn't looked back. It's a real shame because i felt the continuity he had had over the last 6 weeks was starting to pay off and he was getting closer to full fitness again.

    He and Riv have got to be two of the unluckiest players in the league with regard to injury.

    You do realise where the abdomen is, right?

    Maybe it's osteitis abdomis? :D

    My gut tells me Rivers is stuffed. very sad. :( :angry:

    I know this will sound callous..but you have to wonder in overall terms what value some players are. Please spare me the hysteriscs of, he bleeds red and blue, what an inspiration , what a this and that. The reality IS he's been out of action as long as hes been in action. He reflects poor return for investment.

    Some no doubt already sharpening the knife . How dare I put things in such context.

    Well wake up and smell the flowers people , this the ONLY context you apply!!

    I actually quite like Beamer as a player. He has guts and despite a sorta one dimensionality about his play he does put in. But the reality is if he's only available 50% of the time.. I question keeping him.

    I will lay exactly tghe same criteria ar Jared's feet.

    No one wants to make the hard calls.. its alltoo mushy.. But that just flies in teh face of practicalities.

    Injured players quite frankly are worth NOTHING going forward. Thats just life..

    now..line up in orderly fashion over there >>>>>>>>>>

    Beamer really showed just what he is made of after receiving a massive spray from Dean Bailey at quarter time of the Freo game.

    Since that moment on, he has played great footy and has pretty much eliminated the low percentage long kick to no mans land from his game.

    it tells me that Beamer is a quick learner, and also tells me thank God we got Dean Bailey.

    Love the guy. One of my favourites, hope he gets another year. Grew up going for melbourne loves the club

    Moloney, Neitz and Robertson make three. If Zomer plays well enough for Sandy we may as well promote him too. Both Valenti and Wonaeamirri have shown plenty.

  • Quote

    Also want to wish Beamer a speedy recovery. His aggression has been a highlight this year and I reckon it has rubbed off on a few other players.

    Why would we? No other rookie deserves a game at AFL level.

    Yet. But it is nice to have the opportunity if Zomer shows a bit, especially with Newton currently stalled.

    It'd hardly be the first time that a Club hadn't provided true and correct info re: a player's injury...

    I find it unlikely that they'd say he has an abdomen injury if it's anything other than an abdomen injury though, it seems a little too specific. Usually if they're playing funny buggers it'll say something ambiguous like "groin", "hamstring" or in Newton's case, nothing at all.

    He had a hip injury a couple of weeks ago. :rolleyes:

    Moloney should be put on the long term injury list for this year (Hant he been there before?) and they should elevated Grimes off the LT injury list.

    At seasons end they wont delist Moloney. He is not tradeable but his future contract terms are negotiable.

  • Quote

    The pleasing thing that i have noticed in recent weeks with moloney is the fact that he has started to lower his eyes.............we all know that he can kick the thing a mile.............but maybe it's just me but i think the fact that he was running into good form was because he started kicking it to our guys advantage rather than a 65m kick to no where.

  • Quote

    Hopefully he can always keep that booming kick up his sleeeve. Hopefully he can continue to develop his radar. Hopefully he can get fit.

    However should he not.. a hard call simply has to be made. Unpleasant yes.. pragmatic yes.. palatable ..NO

    We cant be a team any more of the walking wounded. The upset to the team dynamics is far too important to have so many players constantly on the doubtful list.

    The brutal reality is players are our assetts, they need to be out their working not taking up hospital space.

    edit ..hopefully he's all mended in time to put in a solid preseason.

    My preference is to have him.. my comments above are just about facing realities should he ( and others ) not come up to speeed.

    He's too young to be written off due to constant injury IMO. As RR said, his contract terms will be more negotiable now.

    Semi-related note: Someone said he grew up supporting Melbourne (I didn't know that). At the 150 dinner Saturday night he looked like a kid in a candy store around all the ex-players, getting autographs etc.

    Get well soon Beamer!

    Maybe you're right - I hope so.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
