Amazing.

It’s interesting to watch these ND speeches across the past few years up until this one. He progressively reveals a deeper wisdom. Profounder insight. 

Only small gripe is I don’t feel the video needs the emotional musical overlay. Not being able to hear a pin drop among the boys would’ve been a better backing track.

He was and always will be the great orator, the reverend. As he said, he loves to tell a story and what I heard in his message to this playing group was a beautiful story.

So you have had a bad year, lots of injuries and fallen short of expectation and even last week lost at the bell.

Don't look for blame, own it, take responsibility accept the handball and work your way through it. Rather than motivation I felt as a lesson in life. I have no doubt one of the reasons he has lasted longer than any predictions is his dedication to this cause and to fight MND.

No matter what life or footy throws at you, face it and work your way through as best you can. It starts for MFC Monday IMO and who better to take on than the Pies.

Neale you are an inspiration to us all.

Definitely agree, Neale's speeches are life lessons to a group of young adults who happen to play elite level football. He does the same with the Collingwood players. Absolute legend!

I knew someone that had MND. They died within a few years. This guy just keeps fighting, its unbelievable. He so composed articulate and coherent. Weve had a few legends at MFC. But this guy.... Now i know what courage looks like.

The man. The Legend.

He has an amazing gift of drawing you in, uses his own life experience and puts things in perspective.

I was looking at Weeds watching on, he would be thinking okay i missed an important goal but in the context of this does it matter?  what matters is how i handle this challenge

perfect message for the group. 

Love to Neale and family

Lots of love to Neale and all other sufferers of MND. A cure can't come soon enough for these courageous people and their families. Thank you to Neale for being their voice and bringing the attention needed in the fight against this terrible disease.

I coach a team of boys who every year I show Danners speach and I ask them what do you take from that. 

First year was you're just showing us that because he's Melbourne but they were only 10 years of age at the time. 

Every year after BF#1 they have taken the true meaning of his speech.

He's an inspiration to many and created a legacy for many generations.

His speech whilst about his grandson Cooper was very much directed towards our playing group and bouncing back from the disappointment of 2019, when we've faced many hurdles.

When you're down, don't play the blame game forget woe is me( many posters on here should take heed of that) in hard times show courage, act accordingly and look for opportunity and you will transcend.

I hope they took it on board

He was also on the front bar last night, he still has his sense of humour and still making us laugh. I think it is fantastic he managed to get Cyril Rioli to go down he slide. I mean he is up on the tiwi islands having given up footy but he is willing to come down and do this. 

But each year you think this may be his last slide involvement but he is still there a year later. I mean going by stats on this terrible disease he should probably be dead. I don't mean that in a horrible way but I have heard of people getting diagnosed with mnd and 6 months later there are gone. Jones's grandad was gone after a year. 

The fact he can still speak and not be in a wheelchair is just amazing. He even attended the funeral of Anna Green yesterday. What he has done raising all this money to find a cure is so remarkable. 5 years ago not many knew about this disease. Now he has put it on the map. 

How he has not been nominated for australian of the year I do not understand.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    PREGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    POSTGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    The Demons almost blew a six goal lead and ultimately hung on to win by three points over the North Melbourne Kangaroos at the MCG and have temporarily jumped back into the Top 8.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.
