Rumour Dayne Beams - will he or won't he retire?

[AndrewShawble]

Gotta say, if there was ever a year to get yourself back together though - this feels like it. He could come back next year with 2 years still on his deal!

Other posters have alluded to the damage being too much though.

Beams is still not in a great place.
This year has been a shocking time for all in Victoria for all reasons.
If you aren't capable of empathy for the greater population after the fires, Covid, unemployment, kids in year 12 (me) and any other sh*te, well, then I hope you live a great untainted perfect life, whatever that entails.
Screw contracts etc. Dayne is a person.
The pounds put on his face/body are comfort for him. Probably not healthy.
Football means sh*t compared to 1 person.
No matter what club
Take care all.
Side by side.

Well said. A little bit of empathy is painless.

Looks as though it's more the whole football bubble environment isn't for him anymore, he no longer has the mental strength/commitment required IMO. I'd say club & Dayne have worked a deal and will make it official once allowed.

Nah - you're forgetting he burnt the club in the past, threw them under the buss and skipped the Copeland night.
Had his chance but his actions are character speak for himself...

The only ones to blame are the people at the club who fell for it a second time.

I thought the club were already on the bus, and he didn’t want to be on the bus with them? Maybe the bus had some sort of engineering fault? I’m getting old and my memory fails me...

 

[Sea fog]

Beams will not be back.

I don’t disagree, nobody is holding him to ransom...he is holding us to ransom. If he doesn’t want to play, then he should opt out of his contract and focus on his health and other interests.

Your memory doesn't fail you. That was an awesome pick up, reminiscent of Beams himself - God his ball handling was clean I'd completely forgotten about the off the bus talk.

There’s an assumption there nothing has been resolved.
Given he’s supposedly indicating he’s not coming back, I take it he’s comfortable now.
The fact there hasn’t been a formal announcement may be as a result of the AFL putting a moratorium on contract discussions.
I realise that may seem contradictory, it may have been sorted prior to the ban on discussions.
All guess work on my behalf, just another view.

That sounds the most likely current situation. Anyone complaining about it not being resolved right now must not understand it can’t be resolved right now.

He isn’t coming back, just to second that

He isn't coming back but he also isn't going. He's like a melanoma on your back that you can only see with multiple mirrors. It is part of your body but you wish it wasn't there.

 

[ThePhantom777]

And fast food.. sugary drinks... alcohol companies ect

Yeah the recent McDonalds and Hungry Jacks (Weagles) ads with AFL players eating it? Insane.

Beams isn't welcome back.

That’s exactly it, fool me once.......

The only benefit of having Dayne still around is that it is a constant reminder of the incompetence among the senior officials at this football club.

Collingwood has had its pants pulled down for the world to see, and Dayne is the massive boil on its arse.

 

[regpies]

Admits he is an addict, another win for the AFL drugs policy.

Why are we still paying him. That money should be going to paying some guys this year to free up cash next year.

 

[Sea fog]

Yeah we hope it reminds the club not to repeat the mistakes of the past. Learn from history.

Has chess had an update since I last played it? Didn't know there were two queens to a side.

A lot of sets do have an extra queen, because you can end up with two, but yeah, Where's the king.

Really? I thought a pawn reaching the other end could be turned into any piece you’ve already lost; you’re saying you can just turn it into a second Queen? Dang!

Yep. If you've got a one queen set and you've already lost a rook, standard is to turn it upside down and it's a queen.
