    I just finished reading 'When All is Said and Done, More is Said Than Done' albeit the audiobook form.

    Doing so has moved the Reverend to the top of my all time heroes list. 

    He has amazing values. He isn't a perfect human being, but his optimism and fight are awe inspiring.

    I hope this year we take the opportunity and deliver the win for Neale. He deserves it.

    You can never have too many big freeze beanies, in an industry that throws around superstar, elite and legend a bit too freely he stands above them all. Neale is an inspiration.

    Neil got to see a flag, which I’m sure kept him in great spirits for the last few months. 

    He has done so much for the cause and is an absolute legend in our club. 

    I hope he is at peace with his family and his life because I’m saddened to think the end is near.

    If the world had 10% of his resilience it would be a better place.

    Seriously Neale is just amazing. This beast is meant to kill you after 27 months. Neale has battled with it for 8 years. The fact he can still walk is even more amazing.

    Unfortunately we won't hear that voice and the laugh but he is still here and got to walk his 2 daughters down the aisle, meet his grandchildren and see us win a flag, while raising all this money so hopefully in the future no one else has to go through this. 

    It will be great to be back at the G this year and see everyone in there beanies.

    Talk about a man walking the talk ( definitely no pun intended). An absolute legend

    Saw the great man slowly through the MCG car park before our game vs the Bombers and still had a big smile on his face.

    Hoping he can keep fighting and see another flag

    I know it’s all been said before, but superlatives almost seem inadequate to express ones feelings about Neale. 

    He is a hero. 

    A truly great man. 

    What a legacy.

    It's all getting a bit more real now.. Such an amazing man, we'll be there for you Neale on QB!

    I met Neale over 20 years ago at a club function at the G.  He spoke to the guests and had such passion for the club, the players and us as supporters. Brings a tear to my eyes to see him without a voice.  Bec will play on and be his voice.  Bec is strong like her Dad. 
     

    This campaign to fight MND is making a difference.  Neale is a hero and the FightMND legacy will continue. 
     

    We must all support this.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
