Dead set, this guy is an absolute legend. Australia's greatest philanthropist, yet he's not even an Aussie - he's Irish American.

In some respects, not too dissimilar to our great Irish Australian. It'd be great if Chuck and Jim could have a coffee together sometime.

How can we make this happen?!

    This guy has given USD5 billion to charities and deserving concerns in his lifetime (including $10 million to the Kirby Research Foundation a few days ago). He intends to give another USD2 billion to philanthropic interests over the next few years.

    I could be wrong on this stat, but I think he's given about $500 million to Australian charities and foundations in his lifetime, yet he is little known and does not receive the accolades he deserves.

    He is a very modest man, wears an old Casio watch worth about 2 bucks, flies economy class and does not even own a house. I expect he'd be impressed with the work of our president, and indeed the man himself. In particular, I reckon Reach would be something he'd be interested in.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
