News Dayne Beams retires

[mike123]

I'll never forget the season I took a gamble on you in the first round of AFL fantasy draft before you were a late out in Rd 1 with a 'hip' injury. You didn't return until Rd 16

I thought it was a “quad” injury

 

[King Elvis]

I thought it was a “quad” injury

I thought it was a calf.

I mean, I didn't think that at all, but I thought it's what they said it was.

Club made a deal, they will start owning decisions when Beams does.

You don’t think Beams has been honest throughout all this?

 

[Black white]

The decision to bring him back was on a par with allowing the hiring of hotel quarantine guards through WhatsApp.

It's no surprise
Eddie's a massive fan of Dan

Guess at the end of the day, it will be a relief for the Pies to have him off their books. Yeah it is a failed trade but sometimes gambles just don't come off and this, like one other I can think of, can be categorised as ones that didn't work for a high cost.

On his day though, very handy goal kicking mid

Doesn't have an honest bone in his body.

 

[Lip Gallagher]

Was one of my favourites, hell of a player from day one, came through with Sidebottom (we nailed that draft), hopefully he gets over his issues.

 

[bluespooner]

Nobody at Collingwood prepared to own the decision on his trade

I think it is widely acknowledged that McGuire over-ruled the club's football department.

 

[Leeda]

Could've retired and saved some salary cap space for the guys who got forced out...

there are some who fight and fight, and they're awesome.. there are some who fight and gather the moolah\\
there are some who tag onto the legends of others...

don't mind me. just surmising..

He's not off the books yet, apparently the AFL turned down a request for concessions on the cap.

What a horrible deal this was for Collingwood. Whoever ticked off this trade should have been sacked.

How did Beams pass the psychology tests?

 

[rocker_oz33]

He was never the same after hes Dad passed.
Such a waste really he could play.

 

[lumpinee]

So losing one player who got loads of possession but butchered the ball massively and losing another player who hasn't played we are doooooomed. I think we can safely say we will finish above Carlton again

lets hope so

Might be a bit hard when the person who made or pushed the decision and the person who would do the sacking are one in the same........ Eddie

Probably my most disliked pies player ever. Guys a leech and spins the " poor me" routine for all to believe.

Good riddance. Trash is as trash does

Is this a common view amongst Pies fans?

Is this a common view amongst Pies fans?

The vast majority, yeah.

 

[Gavin Excell]

If say 1/4 of the rumours re Beams were true, it would suggest he isn't the sort of person youd want at your club

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

anyone workout how much Collingwood paid Beams per game on his return?

 

[TedDougChris]

May not actually be correct....

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Owes Collingwood big time.

A top 10 midfielder at his peak, a goal a game is damn good for a midfielder these days.
