Congrats Beamer.

Great news! Although the first line of the caption says this:
"So excited to finally announce that Dayne and I are expecting our first addition to our little family to arrive this September!"

September!?? It is time for us to start planning for the fact that we won't have Dayne on Grand Final day...

Brisbane Lions lose Dayne Beams for half the AFL season to knee problem

Elite Brisbane Lions midfielder Dayne Beams looks set to miss at least half the AFL season.

Lions coach Justin Leppitsch had initially feared the former All-Australian would miss the first month of games with knee tendinitis.

But Leppitsch said on Thursday there's no deadline in sight and they're taking a very conservative approach to the recovery of last season's joint club best-and-fairest winner.

"As a coach, you're always taking the pessimistic approach and putting another month or two on where he should be," Leppitsch said.

"My brain's saying, 'Oh well, we'll see him in the second half of the year', and hopefully that happens."

The tendinitis flared just as the former Collingwood premiership player had recovered from off-season shoulder surgery.

Oh - Hanley all over again. Groan .. a sense of doom.

Brisbane Lions hope Dayne Beams could return in Round 4 after knee injury

BRISBANE are confident star midfielder Dayne Beams will not be sidelined for half a season and could be an outside chance to return as soon as the Round 4 QClash with the Gold Coast.

Lions senior coach Justin Leppitsch on Thursday raised the possibility of Beams missing a large chunk of games as the absolute worst-case scenario while also stating the knee injury could “improve quickly”.

The Lions are loathe to put a number on when Beams will return from his tendonitis issue given the delicate nature of tendon injuries and his long-term importance to the Brisbane midfield.

Given Beams is feeling no pain in his knee, he is a chance to play in the derby against the Suns at the Gabba on April 16.

The more realistic worst-case scenario could see him back for the Round 8 clash with Collingwood at the Gabba on May 14.

Brisbane Lions hope Dayne Beams could return in Round 4 after knee injury

As Matthew Francis pointed out in this article one silver lining to this knee injury is the extra time for the shoulder to heal

Ah that would be great to have beams back for Gold Coast!

Beams, who coach Justin Leppitsch feared could miss half the season with knee tendinitis, began running at the weekend.

Speaking on Melbourne radio station RSN927, captain Tom Rockliff hoped the star onballer would play his first game in the next month.

"He's closer than everyone thinks," Rockliff said of Beams.

"He's probably only three or four weeks away, which is good.

"It's a bit up in the air and I think a few of the guys went worse case scenario.

"It's just about how quickly he can pick up his fitness now.

"We're hoping to have him back earlier rather than later, so round four or five would be ideal."

We need him back to help out on the inside of the midfield contest pretty badly. Would have been handy to have him in there against Swallow, Ziebell and Cunnington.

He's good value with the mic Dayne

Two Lions Injured In Reserves Match

Meanwhile, midfielder Dayne Beams continues to advance in his rehabilitation from knee tendinitis. The 26-year-old began running last week. “Dayne has put together a few good running sessions in a row.

"It’s now a matter of getting him back into some training with the boys. Once he’s got through a few meaningful training sessions then I’m sure the coaches will consider him for selection,” Lemcke said.

Lion Beams on track for round six return

BRISBANE Lions midfield ace Dayne Beams is recovering strongly from knee tendinitis and could play as early as round six. Beams has not played a game this season, but has run strongly in recent weeks and is expected to take part in his first main training session on Thursday morning. If he gets through that and the knee does not regress, the 2015 joint best and fairest winner could line up against the Sydney Swans on May 1.

Lions football manager Matt Francis told AFL.com.au it was a delicate phase of Beams' rehab, but his progress was encouraging. "We just have to see whether his knee can withstand the workload," Francis said. "You'd think (playing) the week after his first main session is the best outcome and two weeks is achievable … as long as the knee doesn't go backwards."

Beams has completed running sessions of up to 12 kilometres and is now stringing together back-to-back sessions. He missed the final five weeks of last season with a shoulder reconstruction, and after recovering well from that, picked up the knee problem post-Christmas. "He might have to play with little bit of discomfort, but it'll get better and better," Francis said.

Lions Reserves Go Down in ANZAC NEAFL Thriller

Injured Lion Dayne Beams watched from the sidelines and even offered some advice to senior players as they came off for a breather. “I think the boys did well today, obviously they copped a bit of flack these past few weeks but I thought the effort was quite good regardless of the final score,” Beams said.

Star midfielder Dayne Beams has been pencilled in to return from his knee injury in the Round 7 match-up with Port Adelaide in Adelaide.

Lion Beams firming for round seven return

BRISBANE Lions midfielder Dayne Beams appears likely to make first appearance of the season against Port Adelaide in round seven.

It was initially hoped Beams might get up for this Sunday's home match against the Sydney Swans, but the club is keen for the reigning best and fairest winner to get some more conditioning.

After overcoming an off-season shoulder reconstruction, Beams has been dogged by knee tendinitis post-Christmas that has prevented him from playing thus far. But he is now running trouble-free and on the verge on returning.

"The only reason we need to push him back another week is just to get in that extra conditioning he's missed, but he's going along well," Lions football manager Matt Francis said. "Another week will do him the world of good."

 

[Hollow Knight]

Nice. One game under his belt before the home game vs the Pies.

Dane Beams almost ready for Lions return

AFL: Star Lions midfielder Dayne Beams could play his first game of 2016 against the Swans next weekend.

The joint best-and-fairest winner missed the final five weeks of last season with a shoulder reconstruction, and has been sidelined since picking up a knee problem after Christmas.

He has been able to complete back-to-back training sessions in recent days, and was expected to take part in his first main session with teammates this morning.

"We just have to see whether his knee can withstand the workload," football manager Matt Francis told afl.com.au.

"You'd think (playing) the week after his first main session is the best outcome ... as long as the knee doesn't go backwards."

Good on Sunshine Coast Daily for checking the correct spelling of Dayne's name.

 

[lionshine]

Many people expect Dayne to come in and be a bit rusty which I agree with but he is actually coming off a pretty good fitness base I would have thought. He started running just after the Round 2 North game and obviously he would have slowly ramped up his work load but he should have had roughly a full month of quality conditioning under his belt now. The club have been really diligent with him. He will need to work his way back up to match fitness spending a fair bit of time up forward with stints in the midfield but it will be great to have him back out there! Hopefully he is approaching full fitness come the Round 10 game against the Hawks.

Can't wait to see him in action again

Potential Return For Beams

DAYNE Beams will be put through his paces this week in a bid to play his first game of the season against Port Adelaide on Sunday.

The Brisbane Lions midfielder has been dogged by knee tendinitis since early in the new year, but is finally on the verge of a return.

Beams will train with the main group all week, with his ultimate test coming in Friday's main session at the Gabba.

With no more hiccups, the 26-year-old will return straight to the senior team.

After being a joint winner of the Lions' best and fairest last year, Beams underwent off-season shoulder surgery that he overcame before suffering the tendinitis.

He has run strongly over the past month to regain his fitness – and the Adelaide Oval is considered one of the best and most forgiving surfaces in the competition.

Probably favourite for our B & F.
