In Harmes Way 7,869 Posted August 2, 2018 Posted August 2, 2018 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. 1 Quote

Vagg 2,449 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 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... 2 1 Quote

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. 1 Quote
spirit of norm smith 16,679 Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 MFC have to get inspired by Lyles fight. He is one of the finest blokes. Let’s all pray he gets to see us in September and hold up the cup. 1 Quote

Satan 2,921 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Public service 27 sept , ryder cup weekend , allows aussie golfers to get there from overseas Quote
dees189227 12,513 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 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. Quote
jane02 3,795 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 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?? 1 Quote
Wiseblood 24,637 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Terrible news, even though we all knew it was on the cards. Never makes it any easier to read and hear about. RIP Jarrod. Quote
1 red eye 1 blue eye 771 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 Wow, not unexpected but still heartbreaking news. Rest in peace Jarrod Lyle, and heartfelt sympathy to all those closest to him. Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 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. Quote
deebug 1,754 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 May he rest in peace. Thoughts are with his family and friends. Quote
Sir Why You Little 37,458 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 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 2 Quote
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 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
dees189227 12,513 Posted August 9, 2018 Posted August 9, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited August 9, 2018 by dees189227 2 Quote
