Rumour Dayne Beams steps away from footy for mental health reasons

[Jen2310]

He explains why here:

Why Beams is happy to part with premiership medal to help bushfire victims

“I’ve got a lot of great memories of the premiership and they’re never going to go away."

I thought he handed it back to wannabe jabber, sammy mitchell.

So has the drug cheat still have his medal?

I was surprised but I felt a bit differently about it for a few reasons.

As an outsider I’m not aware of any reason to question Warne’s decisison making whereas with Beams I’d be concerned his decision making is negatively impacted by his illness and he may regret the decision some day.

Also Warne has often and publically stated that he never really bought into the spiritual narrative the baggy green has which was largely started by Steve Waugh. At the start of Warne’s career it was just a hat and the symbolism has since grown significantly. Warne has often said he was embarrassed by the way Steve Waugh carried on about the importance of the hat; preferred to wear a floppy hat and hated Steve’s rule that the baggy green had to be worn in the first fielding session of a test. In short, I don’t think Shane sees the baggy green with the same revernace as others and has decided he can live without it.

Fear Beams will regret his call.

Warne hated Waugh so would’ve hated anything he suggested.

Correct Waugh pretty much turned Warne off regarding the baggy green.

Pfft never ceases to amaze me how apparently intelligent people will fork out thousands for inanimate, useless objects, like a stupid CAP supposedly worn by a celebrity. I suppose they're wealthy and were going to donate anyway.

Pretty cool piece to own to be honest.

If I was wealthy I’d buy it, a good cause and S.K Warne maybe known as celebrity to the new gen but he was,is and probably will be the greatest cricket player I’ll see in my life time
A true magician a joy to watch

It's probably somewhere in Timmy's backyard

Each player only ever gets issued 1 baggy green.

I don't know when it changed but i think players used to get a new one every tour.

Rightfully so.

He could be pretending to donate to the bushfires but really he’s going to fund his gambling habit

Turns out Collingwood and Eddy have bought it for 27k, I assume it'll be handed back and the money goes to the fires.

Going into the holden centre where people can view it. I imagine it will be given back to him at some point. Its the perfect outcome. Wouldn't mean anything to anyone else. Be nice to look at, but I wouldn't feel right owning something that someone earned.

I wonder if this was orchestrated by mcguire for some good publicity for beams.

People will no doubt spin it that way, but who knows for sure.

What a total waste of money and picks Beams has turned out to be, screwed Collingwood hard and feathered his own little nest......

No one has screwed themselves more then Beams but I agree waste of picks.

Included in the salary cap? Beams just engineered a pay rise.

I wonder if McGuire decided to buy it to ensure the funds raised went to the correct authorities.

 

[Pacman Carney]

it was done through an auction house. so funds always would end up at the right place.
however, that wasn't the original process, he original said on insta to DM him best offer.
clearly, someone got in his ear and said use Lloyds. (Warnie is using pickles)

This is not a surprise in the slightest.

You can't waste picks in good draft years
