This bloke is EXACTLY what you want your playing group to be......true heart and soul club man. His commitment to the MFC is blood and guts stuff. Dare I say 'Spiritual Leader'?

    wow, I knew the basics of the story - but boy oh boy...this is just great.

    Very good article... my favourite line was the last about his dream as a child being to play just one game with the Dees. If he, Jones and Green can all fire at the same time over the next four weeks, the effect on the rest of the playing group would have to put us in with a fair chance of taking one or two of those games.

    Love the guy, such a great leader and passionate about the club.

    Easily one of my favourite players, a fantastic leader who never takes a backward step. I can definitely see him becoming our next captain.

    The way he talks about the club is pretty much the way most members / supporters feel about it too.

    Love the passion Beamer!

    How many kids get to grow up and not only play in the AFL, but actually play for the club they followed all their lives? Beamer is living the dream, and making a great fist of it. I am thrilled for him. Great article.

    Awesome article that one. Good work Beamer. Here's hoping the "Beamer Effect" rubs off across the board.

    Thats the sort of Passion for the club that was lost at some point after Smith & Barassi had gone.

    The blues grew, and The saints moved house, the Shinboners shone, & the Hawks flew.

    Now, Matthews left to the Pies,,, then Northward to aLion with Brisbane AFL. A passionate tradition Grew.

    This Love for the Club is in need of Nurturing. Not a love to pull at the jumper. A love to wear the jumper with pride and commitment, to go wear Saints fear to tread. To put oneself in harms way. Commitment!

    We saw a player start to do this over the last couple of years & now this year, Pull out of these acts.

    Beamer is a True Red'n'Blue warrior.

    "For me the next 4 weeks will tell alot about who our captain is next year."

    Hadn't thought about things in that way, but you're right I guess, we will see who has the leadership qualities over the next four.

    You don't think that Brad Green will improve as a leader? He always goes hard....

  • Quote

    The MFC can win any of the games in the next 4 weeks....That is if Beamer's words & inspiration rub off.

    I am really looking forward to the next month....How much passion and commitment is on our list?

    2011 destiny is in our own hands....win and progress. Lose and fall away.

    Bring it on.

    A leader, absolutely. An individual that starts things, anything, and motivates others to follow. His idea of handing out Norm Smith and Barrasi books and setting the tone regards this great clubs history is truly inspirational.

    Struth had a heart attack, " Tom Resigns" then realised it was Tom Re-signs ! :wub:

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
