Caydn Beetham (born 11 March 1982) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with St Kilda in the Australian Football League (AFL).
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. [1]
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. [1] Beetham, who had Scheuermann's disease , played a total of 20 games that season and was St Kilda's fourth leading disposal getter. [1] [2]
In 2002 he struggled for form and at the end of the year announced a surprise retirement from AFL football. [3]
