He would want to make next year happen otherwise the game will pass him by.

Ive been wonderig about Beamer for some time. Some hard and uneviable decision may be made by this club as certain realities may overtake hopes and aspirations.

I've been thinking about him too.

IMO though, he showed plenty early this season to retain his spot on the list for the next couple of years.

But that's just my opinion.

A couple of years? I can't see how that's possible. If he has another year off the park again next year, then he will go down in history as a "coulda been", and we get to spend the rest of our lives talking about how good he might have been, if only...

Beamer's one of my favourite players, but if he has another year where he can't get on the park then unfortunately he's finished. 3 years for less than 10 games? We're talking about an injury where you only have to push yourself that 1% too hard and its up again. You have to draw the line somewhere.

That said, if he is able to get his body right then yes, he'll retain his spot for the next couple of years.

I think we're overreacting here.

Beamer was on track to make a full recovery, then injuries happened which forced him to play out full games. This has obviously set him back, however he is not on the long-term injury list, in fact, he is playing in the VFL. That says to me that while he isn't 100%, he is able to play at a reduced capacity.

I don't see any reason why, with a modified pre-season, he can't get back on the field next year. We'll need to manage him in the same way we manage Sylvia, Brock and now Rivers. High rotation and the likes.

Moloney is an important part of our side and he should be back to prove that next year.

You doom-sayers upset me! :(;)

doomsayers ?...no....just some overdue pragmatism. we all seem to live in cloud cuckoo land here at Deeland at times. Sometimes ..youknow...what walks like, soundslike and fles like a duck ...is a duck !!. The realities of football ( as much of life ) arent always palatble. butyou can either face them , deal with thtemand move on makingthe bestof it...or continue to to take the little green and pink happy pills !!

Again I would certainly prefer to see a fit ( not fitter...but FIT !!! ) Beamer take his position on the grass, but if that doesnt happen we all need to move on.

Indeed bub, I completely agree. It's not doomsaying, it's just coming to grips with what looks like an increasingly real possibility. Jaded's right in that it is too early to write Moloney off yet, but personally I am preparing for the possibility that he'll sooner or later lose his battle with OP.

He has already had two years out of football.

No he hasn't.

He had last year out of footy.

This year he played the first half of the season, had about 3 weeks off, and is now back playing VFL. There is nothing to say he won't be back in the seniors by the end of the year.

Sylvia's OP was just as troublesome and we didn't give up on him. Moloney is only a couple of years older, and has plenty of time to get himself right.

I have every confidence in him and in our medical staff. If they can manage Sylvia, they can manage Beamer.

Is he being tested for his hamstring, his knee, his finger...

Surely no chance of playing this week?

Already ruled himself out.

He might be 'tested' until the end of the season. I rather he didn't play and got proper time to recover.

It will mean Newton gets more opportunities as number one tall forward, Neita can have adequate time to get his knee right, and can play his 300th next year in our 150th year.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
