Jill passed away this morning after a battle with cancer. Just want to pass on good wishes to her family. Having heard Jill speak a couple of years ago you could tell how much she loved working at the AFL.

RIP Jill

This is just so sad as she was a very generous and gregarious person. She certainly loved her football and other sports. At least it would seem that she passed quickly and that she did not have to endure too much in her final days. If I know Jill she would have had a warm smile on her face and a cheeky word to her carers. We have a lost a very special person in Jill.

    Agree. RIP Jill. She came across as a really nice lady and it is sad to hear of her passing.

    I was really shocked to hear she passed away, far too young. Worked at the AFL for 40 years.

    I had no idea she was even sick-spoke to her on the phone abut 15 odd years ago through work to find out where to put cameras each week for ABC News Conferences and for News Footage-she was always helpful, and got back to your phone call quickly, we were both busy and she knew it.

    Thanks Jill you should still be at work for this new season, but that's life-you didn't make it-but you left your mark-A true Trailblazer....R.I.P. B)

    Yes, absolutely WYL,, I just read the words from Demitriou, regarding Jill Lindsay. She's done a magnificent job over 40 years or so. Vale Jill Lindsay.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
