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. 

 

RIP Jarrod.

Passed away in front of family 8:20pm last night.

Hopefully we bring home the flag for you mate

Devastating, RIP.  

Just saw this. Terrible news. Would very much like to see something on the banner Sunday.

Too young, too good, too soon.  RIP Jarrod.


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.


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 )

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: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
