Stats
Bio
Recruited from Dimboola in the Wimmera, Beddison was a talented half-forward who made a brief but sharp impact at Windy Hill during the Bombers' 1983 campaign. Standing 188cm, he was a skilful aerialist who announced himself immediately with a spectacular mark on debut against the Swans at the SCG. He proved to be a handful for defenders, most notably booting a bag of six goals in a Round 12 rematch against Sydney, but struggled to settle into city life and requested a clearance back to the country at the end of the year. While he missed out on the senior finals campaign, he departed as a key member of the club's reserves premiership side before returning to Dimboola to continue his career in local footy.
