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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
