I'M 46, NEVER SMOKED I'VE GOT LUNG CANCER

Its on the Herald Sun website now but will be in tomorrows edition.

Its good to get an update to see how he is going and its great the club is around him. I can't believe all his black hair has gone. I know there are people all over the world battling cancer and the media tend to focus on just the well known but as a melbourne fan Sean was a very special player for our club.

It just frustrates me how the people who look after themselves get the cancer and people can smoke for 40-50 years and nothing happens to them. Im not saying every smoker deserves lung cancer and no one deserves to get cancer but you try to be healthy and sometimes it just doesnt pay off.

Good luck Sean!

    It sounds like he's had a tough time of things.

    Hopefully cases like this raise awareness about lung cancer, and the fact don't necessarily get it from smoking.

    I hope Sean fights and wins the good fight. All strength to him.

    And often on this Forum this Club gets belted by posters often unfairly for various issues. On this occasion the Club deserves a lot of credit supporting Sean.

    "The Melbourne Football Club have been stupendous with their time and support. Cameron's (Schwab) been great, 'Connols' (Chris Connolly) has been great, Jimmy's been good; the door's always open."

    The club has paid for equipment and appliances to meet his special needs at home, and there's a benefit function to be held at the Bentleigh Club on June 11.

    Great atuff MFC. Sean Wight has a special place at MFC. You deserve the beat this scourge Sean.

    FIRST-HAND smoking, that is.

    • 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.
