SC 2014 Profile: Claye Beams

nrich102 · September 26, 2013, 06:02:57 PM

Claye Beams: Brisbane Lions - Requested by GoLions

Position: Midfielder
Price: ~$200-250,000 Possible 30% Discount
Junior Club: Labrador

2012
Games: 8
Average: 65

2013
Games:2
Average:40
Scores: 33, 47
(Started as Sub)

Summary: Claye was starting to cement himself in the Lions 22 at the start of the season, when he was struck down with injury. Claye seems to be injury prone, and has never played more than 8 games in a season at AFL level, getting injured in 2011, 2012 and 2013 :(.

Verdict: You'd be crazy to not consider him. Breakout year contender, but could kill you. He also can tag occasionly :(

Richo's Predicted Average: 75 IF he has an injury free season.

Definitely could have a breakout year, and I'll be considering him for sure. If he's fit and firing in the pre-season, that may convince me.
Not too worried about him tagging while Raines is still playing, as it would be a very rare occasion.

Gonna be an awkward price no doubt. Will wait and see

TheAnt · October 13, 2013, 02:44:13 PM

Surely given he was only 350k to start the year and then averages 40 he won't be above 200k... pls SuperCoach pls.

Will have to seriously be considered, maybe a problem with the super sub though coming back to fitness

Suppose to be just as good as his brother. Even if he has just a pinch of his brothers ability he will be a gun

"Clay Beams has been lighting up pre-season training raising the hopes of new Lions coach Justin Leppitsch that he may have found a hidden gem on Brisbane's list." - Herald Sun.

How much is Beams again? Because I'm seriously considering him.

Cheers, that's very good. If named round one he makes my team over someone like Aish 8)

He has to be considered at that price! :o

Every year I see reports of him being the stand out in the preseason. Than he gets injured before the season starts or very early on.

With the brissi exodus he is a lock for me, but injuries are definitely a major concern.

Yeo was probably the only player who left that was in their beat 22. In saying that, Beams is probably in the Lions best 22 anyway, so it won't matter.

Yeo and Docherty were basically competing for a bench spot. As long as Beams is fit, he should slot in straight away, unless some of our rookies really light it up in the pre-season.
