What absolute tragic news. Thoughts go out to the Wonaeamirri family.

As the article says he was a "gentleman of the first order".

Poor Aussie.

Footy becomes a little less important at times like these.

Take your time, try to stay fit, and be with your loved ones for as long as you're needed.

What a terrible tragedy and waste of a life.

All the best to Aussie and the rest of his family!

[Pipefitter 2,159]

Terrible, Terrible news. The joy on Aussies dads face as his son ran down the field with the ball in his hands against the dockers as the siren was about to go will be a timeless Melbourne image.

Yeah terrible news. He seemed like a good fella and real close with Aussie. Thoughts are with the family

Our thoughts are with you Aussie, and we all know that you will have the utmost support of the MFC 'family'.

Having met Matthew, this is truly terrible news. He was a very funny, passionate and genuine man.

My condolences to Austin and all Tiwi Islanders.

Words escape me at times like this.

We are all behind you, Aussie - the whole Demon family.

Be strong.

Just heard on the radio. All I can think is poor Aussie. He's had such a hard time with his body over the last few years, and now he seems to be getting it in hand this happens. How do you get through something like this?

My thoughts are with you Aussie.

Tragic news.

Aussie has proved that he can come back from adversity before (in the form of injury). No doubt he will come back from this in time as well, especially with the support of his brothers at the club and the rest of his team mates.

Condolences to Aussie and his family.

R.I.P. but I'm sure he was very happy seeing his son play on the MCG.

Sad news Aussie and my thoughts are with you.

I lost my mother on Saturday after a 12 mth battle with cancer and I can only add my sympathies understanding the pain.
