Retiring effectively and immediately.

Does Neeldy have a Twitter feed?

Let's be gracious though. He did give us 100 games, did love the club (though his passion was a little misdirected at times) and was a B&F winner. Well done Beamer.

When Scott Thompson requested to leave it left a huge hole in the list and whilst he wasn't as good as Thompson, he was a good replacement and certainly gave his all for the club.

I agree CB unlike some others on here I bare him no ill will.

I often wonder what would have happened if Roos had been the coach in 2012.

See ya...

I really think he was a trier albeit a limited footballer.

Wish him well for the future.

[whatwhat say what 22,745]

did he still have a year to go on his contract?

[rpfc 28,390]

He is, of course, welcome back to the club if he wishes.

That isn't to say he acted with great regard to the club in the lead up to him leaving, nor that the club did the best by him in that period.

But he played quite a few games for this club and played well.

Well done.

I don't bare him any ill will, nor will I bare him any kind parting comments, for me now he is nothing more than a Brisbane player.

I was disappointed when he left, however in hind sight I think it was one of the better things to happen over the last few years.

Totally agree with this.

The way he left the Dees was disgraceful and didn't deserve to be treated that way.

Neeld u r a disgrace and your time at the dees will be remembered for all the wrong reasons.

Good luck Beamer.

ha, the Mighty Pigeons beckon.

must have a lucre-ative contract on the G O.

[KingDingAling 3,757]

Good, solid career Moloney, well done champ.

All the best.

I think Roos would've ripped into him for a lack of two-way running.

That aside, it's a shame when any player leaves a club - especially one he supported as a kid - with such a bad taste in his mouth. Hopefully this sort of thing is better handled going forward.

The messy ending doesn't undo the years of service he gave prior to that. Well done Beamer.

Neeld was so desperate to assert his authority on the club that he neutered the natural leaders and put two 20 year olds in as Captain.

Weak people can't stand extroverts.

Guess what- you can't win without them.

I thank Beamer for his service and wish the Carey grammar boys luck.

Be interesting what career path he takes now.. Just always seem to me that he was a Fevola type, Good at footy but not much upstairs.

Leaves him in a large group bb

By my estimate about 80% of those going around.

His fashion career is bound to take off......

Think he only had a 2 year deal with brissie.

[Waltham33 475]

A Demon fan growing up he gave teriffic service for a large part. Seemed losing and new regiemes got to him in the end. Still remember him belting out the song in our victory at Geelong in 2005. Great passion in those days.

[Little Goffy 14,524]

Enjoyed him as a Demon. Unfortunate string of early injuries. Played a few good seasons for us. Not very well behaved off-field but no major crime. Parted on thoroughly sour terms.

With his retirement, I for one will also retire any bitterness or ill-will towards him.

...nonexistent entity.

Was sad with the way he left the club, but ultimately he was never going to get much more out of his career at the Lions. I hope he remains a Melbourne man now and into the future.
