Many will have seen that Australian golfer Jarrod Lyle has made the heartbreaking decision to go into palliative care after a third battle with cancer.

Jarrod is a Melbourne supporter so I just wanted to send love to a fellow Demon supporter and his family during what must be the most harrowing of experiences.

 

Thanks Clint - I’m not much of a golf fan, but I’ve followed Jarrod’s inspiring story through the media and obviously heard the news today. Never realised that he’s a Dee. Also, never seen that footage before - how good is his reaction : “You feckin’ beauty!”.

Holding him and his family in the light.

 

He has gone through an unbelievable battle with amazing grace and dignity. I wish his he and his family all the best at this ridiculously difficult time.

Would he be well enough to go to this Sunday's game? Wonder if the club are looking at organising something?

This is so heartbreaking. I hope the club can arrange some kind of appropriate gesture. The symbol or message on the banner is a good idea.

Then his extremely brave wife and those little girls need all the support, love and fun they can get.

 

from someone who has seen what this terrible disease does on both sides. I wish him and his family all the best , I hope he spends what time he has with family and makes memories for them. Its so very hard going forward as a widowed partner with young children 

Wow. I didn’t realize he has had a relapse. 

Aggresssive Cancer is so evil

pallative care is the final stage, so i doubt he could make it to the MCG

Maybe the club could get him a nice widesreen TV ? to watch our progression to September, with some messages on the banner


Gee whiz did anyone listen to SEN just now, replaying the Lyle-Radar interview from a few days ago?

Powerful stuff. Well done Andy.

My day is done after hearing that, so bloody sad. Here we are crapping on about the little things in footy, then you have a true blue gentle aussie about to leave his kids behind. Have met him once, lovely bloke. Catch yas tomorrow.

If some of his golfing mates try to make a rush trip from o/s to visit him and are dissuaded from traveling  then you know his condition is bad.I have seen  close family in Pc and the main  treatment is pain relief. I am sure there are doctors who post on here  can give more details but watching a family member or friend going thru pc is tough.

Pallative Care is all about comfort. 

Let’s all hope The Demons keep winning for Jarrod and his little boy.

Yep.... It's comfort and pain relief. Words fail really to describe this ...I know two PC nurses... I have no idea how they do it. 

There's no joy in any of this....though everyone tries to put on their best face...chin up..etc.

It's kr@p .  A gentle passage to a fellow Dee.

May the gods provide strength and solace in these days...and the ones to come.

The big C is insidious :(

Let’s be honest. 2018 will be the last Season Jarrod gets to see our Demons. 

I hope the Players and Coaches are fully aware of this. 

Just Do It Demons. Go where you haven’t been before...

Bring it home

This news was heartbreaking. The more tributes that came out the harder it was. You can really tell the measure of a person by the way people talk about them not so much what they say. From all accounts this fella is as good a bloke as you can be lucky to meet.

My heart goes out to his family. I hope there is something we can do collectively to give him support. 


Poor Bloke.

I'm not a golf fan but a boy from Shep who made good in a rich kids sport and a demon to boot-what's not to love?

praying for a miracle for him.

I'm no Andy Maher fan but I heard that interview this arvo. It was moving and harrowing but also compelling. Well done to Andy Maher. He was clearly shaken but did well. And Jarrod Lyle, your heart just went out to him.

He is in our thoughts and prayers right now. Too young to have to face this stuff.?

My sentiments exactly. I don't care for Maher, or the new SEN... But there's no resisting what you heard this arvo. Brutal, the lot of it, and Maher has my respect for confronting what seemed pretty difficult for him. You can't help but tip your hat.

 

This whole story is just so sad. What a brave, beautiful man and his wonderful, supportive family. I have worked in Palliative Care and he will be so well cared for with dignity and respect.

My heart goes out to the whole family.

Have met him a couple of times as I work with Challenge - the  not-for-profit organisation, which supported him through his first battle with leukaemia and which he has been ambassador for over the last 15 years or so.

Last time we spoke we chatted about the Dees and how it seems like we are finally heading on the right track. Hope he is around long enough to see some (hopefully) finals success this year. 

He gave so much to the Challenge organisation and is truly one of the most selfless and giving humans one can meet. It would be a nice gesture by the MFC to do something for him and to wear a yellow armband in support of not only Jarrod, but the Challenge organisation, which he loved and gave so much for. 

Great guy and sending all the love in the world to both him and his family.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
