Thought his game was excellent on the weekend. Aside from one, maybe two quiet games has been outstanding the whole year.

When the Toiges were hitting back in the third and fourth quarters Beemer absolutely willed himself to contests and laid some brutal tackles. There was no way he was going to let us lose this game. While the team tackles were amazing it was Moloney and Petterd for me that made big statements.

Could well finish up there in the Brownlow.

he deserves any dues coming his way the mighty beemer, including a brownlow, premiership medallion and the fact he doesnt have to live in Geelong for the next 10 yrs of his playing life. imagine the drive to Casey from there...... brownlow odds 21-1

Whilst at the Game, i did not really notice Beamer too much, But that must have been because he was in the middle of tight congestion-so his number was hidden for much of the game.

Watching the Replay i sure noticed him...another 3 votes.

He could win the charlie this year...Keep going in hard VC Beamer... B)

Should poll pretty well. From what I can remember he had a few if not more clear BOG (and hopefully 3 vote) performances early on in the season.

As difficult it is too actually lay a legal tackle these days, I would say he's one of the best in the league at it and converts into a turnover for us, the only thing that could stop him winning, other than umpires pet Judd, Demetrious love child see you at 6am Swann, or the new team on the block have to poll well Ablett (he is bloody good though), this yr could be a turn up if we come home with a wet sail. He always figures prominentally in the votes when MFC have won or been within 10 goals

I have to say that as good as his clearance work is, his delivery to the forwardline is still a little too indiscriminate for my liking.

I think this season he has been a little more discriminating - sometimes bombs long but also lowers his eyes more and will short pass or hand pass.

It is Beamer! Or Bowser!

Great bloke and is well and truly leading the Bluey, only Col Sylvia could track him down I think.

Also what does he have to do to makke it up the top there. Take Davey down and replace him with Beamer! (unless he is the last person on the right I can't see!)

Topic edited for "Beamer".

The person on the far right is Chip.

Gutsy, never say die, gut running game on the weekend. And by gut running i mean to get to so many contests all over the ground. He wasn't alone there, Sylvia, the Scull & Jordie weren't far behind. But he's like an angry bulldog that's always looking for that elusive meat bone. Maybe bowser is a more appropriate name lol.

Agree as stated earlier, he willed his way to many contests and laid some awesome tackles (as did Sylvia). IMO his game, Watts, Trenners, Jordie, Greeny, Chiper + the super 2nd, 3rd efforts from some players up forward (including Bobby, Howeee and finally Air J!!) plus some amazing run and defence from the back line....were the difference.

Only improvement would be yes, lower the eyes just a little more when breaking from the middle or around flanks. No obvious options, then yeah....bomb away to the hot spot..or just kick it through for a sausage lol.

Just a couple of points, if Beamer gets a clearance and there is no obvious handball or short kick target, I am all for him belting it into the 50, rather than as we have sometimes done [censored] foot around with little dinky handballs and turn it over either at the centre or in our back half........with some more players available now Bailey is using Beamer, Jones and Sylvia is the perfect roles for them, if you watch Jones he has a roaming brief up and down the wings, and if he tackles they stick, same with Sylvia around the forward 50 line.....three hard bodies and all a goal threat as well

He's up to 18 votes by my count.

You would hope so, but I'm not sure how much of his work goes un-noticed by the umps. 7 Charlie votes in 2010 and 7th place in the Bluey. Has certainly played better this year.

This can work well if we make sure some of our forwards remain in the actual forward 50, rather then pressing up too much. Also helps to have a tall option down there like Watts or Jamer or Martin.

100% agree on this post - he is leading the way in gut wrenching running (probably trying to outdo Scully!) but I love his long bombs, he's a beautiful kick.

I agree. I think this is one part of his game he has improved.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
