The kid just can't take a trick.

S :angry:

 
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...

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.

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.


:huh:

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

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

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.


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.

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

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.

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.

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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
