    What a disgrace

    Definitely! It’s not like there’s plenty of years in the future to bestow this honour. Sadly, time isn’t on Neale’s side. ?

    Absolutely and how the hell has not even been Victorian of the year?

    I like Peta Credlin but I'm not sure how she got one.

    I'm more surprised how Bec Goddard got one ahead of Daisy Pearce. Daisy got the women's league going and is an icon.

    With all the controversy this year I bet they wish they had given it to him...

    Incredibly happy for Neale and his family. Should have had the AO the first time in 2016 when he got an AM. Well deserved recognition! 

    Should be Australian of the Year too IMHO! 

    I'm not sure The Age understand left and rights. Unless Bec Daniher has aged 30 years since her media commitments this week.

    Keep the politics off here. Dixon and Barassi were Tories, isn't that enough!

    Well done Neale.

    Dixons wife taught me at school.

    Congrats Peta Credlin.

    Not sure Barassi counts as a Tory (in the UK sense of old style Conservative).  More a Hamer Victorian Liberal - socially progressive and economically conservative.  He'd have lined up with Turnbull against Abbott.  Pro - republic, pro immigration etc Dixon was pretty progressive for his time as well.

    Also, we've actually produced a Labor MP - Bob Miller MP for Prahran 1979-1985. Played 69 games between 1961-1965.  Alan Henderson, the old property steward was a dyed in the wool ALP man too.

    And well done, Neale.  Absolute champion.

    So well deserved. Over the past 7 years it is just amazing what Neale has managed to achieve. The fact he is still here is a massive achievement as people who get mnd only get abut 27 months. 

    He has put this on the map and hopefully one day is goal will be achieved with a cure. Kudos to you Neale. Your positive spirit is just beautiful.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
