Well done Beamer. I believe he gave his all and I enjoyed watching him play.

    You really need to take a good hard look at yourself and ask the question whether Demonland is right for you. You may say well if people dont like what you say then dont read, but when your constantly putting poster down then of course we are going to reply.

    I think he has asked it, Dazzle, and inevitably he's found Demonland to be wanting so it's up to him to reform us all. And, as BBO says, tiresome.

    Very good for the Dees - harshly treated.

    Thanks Brent - you will always be remembered especially as a B & F winner.

    I loved it when he and Jamar teamed up against the Crows and we smashed them at the G in 2010 (I think).

    Nearly every centre bounce it was Jamar down to the Moloney into the f50 and the crows couldn't even stop it when they tried.

    One of the best games I have seen from the dees in a long time.

    Good luck Beamer.

    Anyone who has played 166 games of AFL football has had a much better than average career. Congratulations to him.

    Not in my view, Regardless of what ppl thought of the coach and the turmoil that was engulfing the club you simply couldn't have a player blatantly ignoring coaches instructions AND willfully co-opting others to go with a different plan which is how I understand the situation was.

    Notwithstanding gave his all for the club and played 166 games more than me..

    Great interview with Beamer - what a legend!

    This was great, well done to the boys for the podcast. First one I've listened to and will again.

    Whatevers people thoughts are on Beamer, it's impossible to argue the fact he genuinely loved the dees and clearly sad to leave. Great insight on the podcast when the original trade was discussed and he chose the dees without blinking it seems.

    Ill always have a soft spot for him.

    You do realise your quoting an opinion held 3 years ago...

    A lot of bridge underwater since then...

    Beamer is still playing footy, currently for his old club South Warrnambool in the Hampden League.

    Daniel Nicholson is also playing and starring in that league  in his second season with Port Fairy.

  • Quote

    I am sure Beamer is still a Demon at heart but if all players had adopted his attitude, then every player would have spat the dummy and left. 

    Beamer was part of the problem. 

    For this reason his career at Melbourne shall always be tainted in my eyes

    Always had the potential to be a star once he found his right level.  Looks like he might have found it.

    What is your view?

    Beamer jumped ship because he was no longer the top dog...

    He didn't look at the Big Picture...

    I don't think he jumped ship, he was forced to walk the plank!

    My view is that Neeld didn't like Alpha male types so they just never got on - Neeld pushed him out the door.

    SWYL - I don't imagine Brent would be across the finer points of Buddhist theology, but 'karma is a [censored]' is a pretty big statement from someone who supposedly just merely 'jumped ship'.

    Neeld took over a dying club, we all knew that. Changes had to happen. 

    Beamer didn't like it, so rather than change himself, hecwalked

    Neeld was bought in to change the place, remember Mclardy saying "He had carte blanche to do whatever was needed"

    that meant Beamer's power base was gone...

    After seeing how Neelds tenure played out, I would suggest Beamer instinct was right. 

    That may be so, but leaving all his team mates to suffer weekly thrashings is not the way i would do it. 

    Brent had it too easy for too long

    Sure. But why would Beamer bring up the notion of 'karma' if not for the belief that Neeld was guilty of some moral wrongdoing? Brent clearly felt that he or others were mistreated.

    If you listen to the podcast, he is rather magnanimous toward Neeld but it's easy to infer his primary gripe relates to Neeld's lack of people-management skills - in contrast to Beamer's obvious passion for and efforts to foster a nurturing environment at the club. 

    You keep saying Neeld took over a dying club, but I think you're conflating club and team.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
