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.

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.

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.

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
