Very sad and worrying news for Roughy, his family and the club.

Hope he responds well to the treatment as is able to get back to full health.

seriously puts the whole game of football and our whole obsession on who re-signs or why Tmac can't kick a football into perspective.

Get well soon - good health is everything....

That is very sad news.

Brings back bad memories of Jimma - I hope that he has a better long term outcome.  A bugger of a disease and totally unpredictable.  

Unfortunately though, sun protection is very much underrated especially amongst the "invincible young", but even when it is well followed there are failures.

Get well, Jarryd.

He lives just near me.  Top bloke and down to earth.  I have wished him well on behalf of all Demon supporters.  I tried to get him to consider joining the Dees, a couple of years back but he wouldn't even give it a second thought.  I wonder why?

Not only has Roughy overcome his dreaded disease, and will be back playing football, he will also captain the Hawkes.  http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/comeback-kid-jarryd-roughead-to-captain-hawthorn-hawks-in-2017-20170119-gtv54f.html

It looked quite dire when he bowed out last year.  Getting well and getting fit are herculean efforts.  Good on him and I wish him well as Captain (except when they play the Dees). 

I also hope he gets this: "I want to potentially live to be a dad or grandad..."   If there was ever a nice guy in football who deserved all that life has to offer, it is Roughy.

Edit: wondering if mods would like to change title of thread to include Roughy has made a comeback

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
