Hope you are doing well also kniggit. Its not just the media types who matter.

Thanks mate, Jesse got it far worse than I did, he still has a piece of his skull bone on ice waiting to be grafted back in which is so depressing, a young man like that cut down in his prime. I'm taking him to the dees vs the blues in a few weeks and he is really looking forward to that as am I. Cheers and thanks for the good wishes.

    Perhaps we should keep the patients symptoms private...

    Thanks for the general sentiments.

    Best of luck to the both of you, a former TAFE teacher of mine had two strokes and survive. He's so gutsy with how he goes about it and has the support of a loving wife. He wrote a book on his experiences, not intending to be a shameless plug for my former teacher but I do think it's a good little read. http://littlebookofhope.com/

    Touching article by Emma Quayle on Jesse's progress. Great to hear that Jesse was able to see his Dees topple the reigning premiers a few weeks back.

    Let's hope we can turn it on for him in the last two rounds and give ourselves a shot at finals.

    As everyone knows I like Caroline Wilson and she has written some really good stories lately but Emma article on Jesse and James Aish are just first class. Congrats Emma.  

    And get well Jesse, courage and determination.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
