Was a very good player (top 15 or thereabouts) for a very long time, it's a shame his 177 game career (probably should have been more tbh) has drawn to a close.



Let's try and make this thread as positive and civil as possible, his well known off field issues have well-documented elsewhere, let's just recognize how good his on field and playing efforts were.

Premiership player and B and F winner (amongst others) is a very impressive resume.

Hope you find peace and happiness in retirement Dayne Beams👍👍👍
 
Good to see he got paid out for not honoring his contract

Was a very good player and did Brisbane a MASSIVE favor for jumping ship back to Collingwood

If you didn’t know anything about him, his circumstances, the trades etc you’d look at that career and say that’s pretty impressive. Made AA, won a prem, two B+F

didnt maximise his potential for a variety of reasons but achieved more than the vast majority

Problem is he has done a Jason Akermanis and is now pretty much not well liked by either club he played for.

Yeah maybe but there is more to life than being liked. I don’t know the man and wouldn’t have a clue if he is a total campaigner or great bloke but he did help deliver Collingwoods only premiership in the last 30 years and in the grand scheme of things that matters more

* off and get down off the high horse. I’m saying he was there to play football and he delivered. I’m saying life isn’t a popularity contest. I also said maybe he was a campaigner and will be judged by those that actually knew him not morons on a forum

Collingwood really messed up after the 2018 Grand Final.

The Beams deal and now losing Treloar after signing him to a Hail Mary contract were horrible pieces of list management that are going to impact the club for a long period of time.
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

I doubt it. This is culture killing stuff, and losing out of your best players is never ideal. No quality key forwards either.

I’m expecting a slide out of the 8 next season.

You can win a premiership and not be a campaigner, they’re not mutually exclusive.
