I have worked in Palliative Care and he will be so well cared for with dignity and respect.

 

You have my absolute respect and admiration. One of the most difficult and important areas of health care.

    Jarrod wore a Luek the duck emblem and yellow hat on the tour after his last comeback to bring attention/valuable fundraising to the cause.

    Given Jarrod is a big dees fan, I’d really like to see the team wear a yellow arm band on the field of dreams round as a show of support.

    Was nice to see Jonesy give Jarrod a special mention on TV just prior to the coin toss yesterday, recognising him as a passionate Dees supporter and what he is going through.  No doubt it warmed Jarrod's heart just a tad to then see the boys play so well...

    Mark Knight is surely Australia's greatest cartoonist. The poignancy of this work is amazing - look closely and you can see Lyle's wife and kids.

    SEN is running a fundraiser for our great fellow Demon Jarrod Lyle.

    Please give - 1300081116

    Hopefully, Jarrod was buoyed by the team yesterday and the boys can keep doing it for him and his family.

    Shane Warne was on SEN this morning and offered himself at auction to raise funds.

    Highest bidder will get the chance for 10 people to bat in the MCG nets with Warne bowling at them for an hour or two.

    Public service 27 sept , ryder cup weekend , allows aussie golfers to get there from overseas

    Just so sad. I don't even like golf but he just seemed like a really nice person and he is only 36. Far to young. Feel so sad for his family but his wife and his 2 daughters who are so young. another good person taken way to early. 

    It's a shame he didn't get to see this footy club at its best. 

    Paul Roos mentioned on mmm last sunday that a couple of years ago Jarrod contacted the club and wanted to come down and just have a word to them. They could use his inspiration and courage for the next few weeks. 

    Id assume we would wear black armbands in tribute for him this weekend.

    This news is just so sad. Like many I am not a golf fan but have been inspired by Jarrod’s journey over the years and his fight to the end.

    I admired everything about him and I feel the utmost compassion for his beautiful young family. 

    Too young, too soon.

    May he RIP??

    Terrible news, even though we all knew it was on the cards.  Never makes it any easier to read and hear about.

    RIP Jarrod.

    Wow, not unexpected but still heartbreaking news. Rest in peace Jarrod Lyle, and heartfelt sympathy to all those closest to him.

  • Quote

    Bvgger :(

    Condolences to his family, and friends. My deepest sympathies are for his two girls. We all miss our loved ones as I'm sure his wife  Briony does and will but I really feel for his daughters.

    Now the pain is gone. But so young, so sad. But pallative care is often only a week or so, so i am not suprised and glad he can now rest. 

    To the MFC, dedicate the remaining games to honor Jarrod, who was a big fan. 

    He will be watching

    RIP

    As Sunday is awareness Day for BC could the club not extend its recognition of Cancer and the players wear a Yellow armband ?

    ( I will now email the club )

  • Quote

    Or maybe a yellow ribbon on the jumpers or something. But yeah a yellow armband is a good idea. It would stand out more than a black armband and not that it needs any more awareness but it would make people aware of challenge charity which he supported. 

    Maybe we could do a 1 minute applause for him to before the game.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
