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.

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.

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.

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 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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
