    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.

    Should be Australian of the Year too IMHO! 

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
