News Dayne Beams retires

[Elmer_Judd]

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

Ok -I'm 'positive' he got a big payout.

 

[bzparkes]

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

 

[Instincts]

This thread is going to become a trash fest I'm sorry but it's just going to happen.

 

[00Stinger]

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

Could have retired 2 years earlier when he fell out of love from the game. Could have retired a year and a half ago when he stopped playing.

What a disaster the trade was for Collingwood. Much like with the Gibbs deal, selling the farm for the player that you think will put you over the top often doesn't work out.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Good player in his day.

Profile and standing was inflated but that’s pretty standard for Pies players.

 

[La Dispute]

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.

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

 

[evo]

Did some good work in a couple of my Supercoach sides.

Dunno what else to say,good at his peak but ultimately a bit of a wasted talent. s**t tatts.

a cup for kicking a ball good matters more in the grand scheme of things?

s**t i'd hate to be one of your kids

 

[Catsnlakers]

Congratulations on a great career Dayne, commiserations on how it ended...

* 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

 

[Spook]

So playing 9 games across 2019, 2020 seasons and an agreed payout for 2021, 2022 seasons, I'd hazard a guess he made about $150,000 a game.

no, you said ' wouldn’t have a clue if he is a total campaigner '. I dont see the word maybe in there.

i like how morons on a forum kinda rhymes though

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

 

[schmuttt]

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

 

[Brutalitops]

The 2010 Premiership reunion should be interesting

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.

 

[windyhill]

Pies outsmarted themselves with this mess. Thought they were putting one over Briz, where the complete opposite happened.

 

[HairyO]

Except Aker played every game and always gave 100%.

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