The committee, players and supporters would like to congratulate Todd Beames - Club Legend - who became the first player to reach the club 100 game milestone in our Round 1 narrow loss to Old Paradians. The only player to have played in every season of the clubs existence, and the Captain of the 2010 u/18's, 2011 u/19's, 2012 Club XVIII first ever senior age team, and then co-captained with Dean Calcedo during the clubs inaugural senior season in 2013, where he bacame the clubs first ever Premiership captain, a feat which he backed up in 2014 when the club won back to back flags.
Todd is an exceptionally courageous and talented footballer, who bleeds Bullant blood and plays with guts, spirit and determination whenever he crosses the white line, whether during a game or at a training session. Todd excels in his role as an in your face, pressure player who sharks the ball at stoppages and is dangerous around goals, evident by the fact that all going well, Todd will kick his 100th club goal during our next game.
Todd has always led the way in fitness and preparation, and has been an excellent and mature mentor for younger players coming to the club. Unfortunately, the club regrets that its historical records had not been validated until recently, hence the delay in acknowledging this exceptional club milestone.
Todd also played junior footy with the Preston Bullants, winning back to back flags in the Colts, playing 70 odd games.
Congratulations Todd, we look forward to your next 100 games with the club.
