Beau announces retirement

[bergsone]

Had a crack,good luck to him


Those having a go at him ..............should also put up how many AFL games they have played

[saintspremiers]

Well done playing AFL footy with such limited ability. All the best Beaumeister.

[Bluthy]

Beau played a big part in our wins early in the season. Without those we would have officially been declared a basket case and hunted by the media relentlessly. Gutsy player - never once saw him take a short step. Hope the big fella is successful in whatever he pursues.

Thanks for having a crack with the Saints Beau. Good luck with whatever is next in your life.

BTW. Who is Chris Tilbey and what did he write?

I went to Twitter expecting Tilbey to have threatened Beau with violence, as it turned out he'd thrown a cream puff.

I liked the way Beau gave his all, although the more he tried the more he showed his football foibles.

Did Maister do better than Wilkes ?

[SaintPav]

Thanks, Beau.

Some good highlights here. Plenty of marks that stuck. He must have been down on confidence and lost his mojo this year.

Well you are speaking from experience.

[WinnersOnly]

Big heart and gave it everything he had - thanks for your efforts Beau and good luck with the future !

Well you are speaking from experience.

I'm speaking from watching, especially this year

[Stephen Theodore]

Did you see what that Chris Tilbey wrote. Seriously some supporters disgust me. I honestly hope he does never attend a game of ours. Dont know him but what one sad individual. Anyway well done Beau. No one could say you didnt give 100% every game apart from that moron on Twitter. Im sure they named that after him.

Big chance Chris Tilbey would not say that to his face.

Weak as p*ss.

Gave it his all, can't ask for any more.

Good luck in the future Beau

he came back from a pretty serious injury. never got his confidence back.

[Harvey To Hayes]

Thanks Beau. Always had a red hot dip, good luck with your next adventures...

PS I'll miss singing 'Bow River' or 'Mr Bojangles' whenever you kicked a goal...

[Old Mate]

I like Beau. Had a couple of really solid games the past few years. Always gave 100%. Good luck for the future Beau, back to carpentry, I reckon.

[gringo]

I met him at training and he was a really nice bloke. Good on him for living the dream twice...twice more than me. Well done and best wishes for the future.

[Enrico_Misso]

Good on you Beau.
You tried your guts out.
Thanks for your contributions.

[thejiggingsaint]

I met him at a family day shortly after he signed for us. His attitude and positive outlook really impressed me, he was basically a good bloke! I wish the Meister man every success in life!

[MCG-Unit]

Well done Beau #37. All the best for the future. Gave your all in every match.

[cowboy18]

Well done Beau, effort and commitment could not be questioned. Supporters can't ask for more. Hope you leave with some great memories.

Thanks for having a crack with the Saints Beau. Good luck with whatever is next in your life.

BTW. Who is Chris Tilbey and what did he write?

I do recall 1 Tilbey of note - Steve. At least he had some grounds to be arrogant, and lyricise about it.

As for Chris of the same handle?

That wouldn't be Steve Kilbey would it?

[JohnE]

Yeah, I thought he was referring to Steve Kilbey from The Church too… "There'll never be another quite like you"

[SuperSaint66]

Beau, thank you for your contribution to St Kilda FC.
A gutsy warrior, you always gave 100% effort. What more could anyone ask?
Good luck for your future!

Woops. A dyslexic moment.

[thesaint3]

All the best Beau....

[magnifisaint]

I hope you remember your time as a Saint more fondly than your time as an Eagle.

[matrix]

so the shoulder injury from the vfl game forced his hand???

cheers beau
you had a crack which is more than 99% of people get to do

[stinger]

....gave his heart...but was simply not good enough...not his fault...but a wasted draft pick all the same

[savatage]

Well done Beau & thank you!
