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....

    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.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
