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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
