Career
Beecroft played in a variety of positions during his career but he was primarily a ruckman and key defender. Recruited from Ormond, he was initially a regular fixture in the South Melbourne team of the mid 1970s but put together just eight games in 1976. The following season, after two games, Beecroft left for Portuguese Melbourne and played in a winning Grand Final against Sandringham.
He moved to Sydney in 1982 to play another season with South Melbourne, who had relocated, but finished his career at Claremont.
