He had a rotten year. He is clearly gone. The club is content to see him go.

But where are those who on this site once lauded his mentoring of young blokes with his self-designed three day boxing camp at Warrnambool? Or who reveled in him giving a whack to Brock when he walked out?

Apparently we all thought he was terrific then.

A little less pleasure in the bloke's misfortune, please people.

but he created the misfortune....

    I don't want to sound toolist, but Beamer was never the sharpest

    As for his manager, lets just say he comes up short on his homework

    Still, he may surprise us all yet

    Hardly Toolest-which is perfectly fine to discriminate against.

    Thats what tools are for.

    There are some great managerial role models out there.

    Roger Brent comes to mind but this guy reminds me of the manager of Flight of The Concords.

    I haven't been a fan of Brent and how he fits with our club, however I have no doubt he gave it his best as he would see it and I hope he does get picked up by another club to continue his career.

    I do get annoyed however with our friends in the media, when they use him as a reason as to why we are in disarray. Senior players are deserting the club. The lack of interest from other clubs tells me we have it right.

    I will genuinely surprised if Beamer is on an AFL list in 2013. I just can't see any List Manager saying "What this club needs is a slow 28 year old who couldn't get a kick in the worst midfield in the comp."

    I've posted this elsewhere, but I reckon Jake Spencer has got more chance of winning the Coleman medal than Beamer has of getting picked up.

    Lions have said they will move on Beamer if they miss out on Tippett. Beamer might be at the Lions very soon.

    If it is indeed fact that Moloney was told to drop his weight to gain speed, and he basically refused. I am glad he is gone, his attitude stinks. I always thought he was finished after his interviews left the website.

    It was a changing of the guard.

    Yep, good to see some team is keen on him, and hopefully they put him on a decent salary to give us better compensation.

    I don't believe that is true at all. He mentioned in an interview at the B&F last year that he was carrying too much weight and his goal was to drop some bulk.

    I think people are reading too much into Beamer not being signed yet. We've seen in the past where trades have been held up by larger trades (Judd). It's probably not going to be any different with free agency. There's still another 2 weeks to go of FA.

    BREAKING: Brent Moloney will become a Brisbane Lion subject to a medical test tomorrow #AFLTrades

    Good luck beamer! You can now wear v neck tshirts all year round in brissies weather...

  • Quote

    If the rivers trade doesn't eventuate I assume we won't get any compensation as the moloney OUT cancels out the byrnes IN?

    I mean, that is the AFL doesn't consider that moloney is worth anything more than byrnes....

    Moloney has played a lot more games in the last two years and won a b & f but maybe that isn't such a big factor.

  • Quote

    Voss is clueless in recruiting but luckily for him free agency has lessened the damage.

  • Quote

    Until Rivers goes somewhere, if he does, I doubt we will sign any FAs.

    The 'net compo' idea is ill-thought through and it should be abandoned.

    Just give picks for every player.

  • Quote

    goes there on a 2 year deal.

    manager says brisbane's game plan suited him. haha as opposed to needy's defensive one!

    understand your reasoning, but this way will mean less compo picks and therefore less disruption to the existing ND picks

    Would have been great to get Byrnes with a late pick on in the rookie draft instead. The compo the cats will get will be absolutely minimal. We should have done what Port and the Dons did with Monfries. I guess everything is easier in hindsight.

    Good luck Beamer, say hello to Jeff, enjoy the sun.

    And we move on

    Next.......

    Good on Voss for picking up a player who has basically told his previous coach that he doesn't like being driven hard at training. It will be interesting to see just how he fits in.

    Yes, but what is happening is that clubs are not signing up players as it affects their FA comp. St Kilda in particular.

    I really don't think 25 picks (max) dispersed throughout the draft is the end of the world.

    It would be fine.

    No way - less compo picks is better. Clubs shouldn't let compo picks drive their FA strategy - they should seek out the players they want and let the compo chips fall as they may.

    I'm starting to understand the underlying sentiment that suggests no compos at all. They go,they go. They come, they come. End of story.

    Might be a lot cleaner

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road.

On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
