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.

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.

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.

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...... :wacko::huh::o:blink::)

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

Think he only had a 2 year deal with brissie.

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.

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.

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.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
