Season standout Dayne Beams says the young Brisbane Lions outfit has to be braver with its approach to the game to find success.

"I think we've got to take the game on a little bit," said Beams, speaking at a media conference with brother Claye as they were announce as ambassadors for the Jodi Lee Foundation which raises awareness of bowel cancer.

"We were playing around the boundary and playing safe (in Sunday’s loss Melbourne). It's not the way we've played the last few weeks when we've been in games against some pretty good opposition.

"For whatever reason we went inside our shells against Melbourne and it cost us. We'll be looking to take the game on a little more, I think."

Beams, who encouraged people to be part of the Jodi Lee Foundation’s #iknowsome1 awareness campaign on social media, said  he was prepared to play through pain with his injured right shoulder.

After carrying the injury for a number of weeks, Beams subluxed the shoulder against Melbourne last Sunday, but is expected to play against North Melbourne at the Gabba on Saturday night.

When asked about it on Wednesday, the 25-year-old was putting on a brave face.

"It's obviously a little bit sore at the moment," Beams said.

"I'm getting it strapped and it's staying in place.

"I think at this stage of the year, most AFL players are carrying something. For me it's no different.

"I'm still fronting up and going out there to play and it's not worrying me out there, I don't think about it.

"It's a little bit sore, but I'm right to go."

When asked whether he would see the season out, Beams was more hesitant.

"We'll have to wait and see, I'm not too sure at the moment," he said.

"That'll be up to myself and the medical stuff, projecting forward in a few weeks.

"We'll look at it and make a call from there."

Beams has been worth every dollar the Lions paid to lure him from Collingwood in the off-season.

He has played all 15 matches and would be comfortably leading the club's best and fairest.

Despite playing in obvious discomfort, Beams has carried a midfield decimated by injuries for much of the season, and averaged 29 disposals and almost seven clearances a game.
