Caydn Beetham
Caydn Beetham is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Australian Football League.
Beetham was a midfielder, taken at pick nine in the 1999 AFL Draft from the Oakleigh Chargers in the TAC Cup.
He fell seriously ill in his first year with St Kilda but managed to make nine appearances in the second half of the season.
The following year, in round five, he was nominated for the 2001 AFL Rising Star award after amassing 23 disposals against Carlton, a performance that would also win him two Brownlow Medal votes. Beetham, who had Scheuermann's disease, played a total of 20 games that season and was St Kilda's fourth leading disposal getter.
In 2002 he struggled for form and at the end of the year announced a surprise retirement from AFL football.
