Neale Daniher on tv tonight. Channel 7 I think. Most likely to raise awareness about The big freeze coming up QB round.

This guy is courage personified and if you want to be inspired its worth watching.

Hope he will inspire the team to get up again like last year

    Saw the program last night. Some emotional moments. He is an incredible realist. Quite poignant when he said: MND always wins.

    Daniher's MND legacy is far greater than his football achievements.  Both testament to an amazing person. 

    Up there with another of our Demon heroes that faced his illness and his fate with generosity, courage and humour, Jim Stynes.

    Daniher is an absolute inspiration to everyone and personifies the word courage! 

    so many people in his situation would have given up but he just refuses to stop fighting.

    Highly, highly deserved.  A great honour for a very honourable man.

    • 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.
