About Simon Beaumont

  • Simon Beaumont (born 13 December 1975) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Carlton and Hawthorn in the Australian Football League (AFL).
  • Carlton secured the services of Beaumont with the 18th pick in the 1993 AFL Draft.
  • A left footer, Beaumont was used mainly as a half back flanker and later key defender but could also play forward which was demonstrated in a game for Carlton against Collingwood at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Round 17, 1999 when he kicked eight goals, all of them in the first half.
  • He is also a member of an exclusive group of players who kicked a goal with their first kick in the AFL, which he managed against Hawthorn in 1995.
  • Beaumont played 133 consecutive games for the club between Round 9 1998 and Round 22 2003.
  • He became the first Carlton player to play 100 games in the #29 guernsey, thereby becoming the first name on the #29 locker in the Carlton changerooms (he has since been joined by Heath Scotland). Beaumont was traded to Hawthorn at the end of the 2003 season.
  • He increased his streak of consecutive games played to 144 before being suspended in the "Line in the Sand Game" for striking former Carlton teammate Justin Murphy.
  • Beaumont spent two years at Hawthorn, playing 27 games in all, before retiring.
