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.

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.

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.

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.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    TRAINING: Wednesday 15th January 2025

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
