Well done , long over due

Edited by Grapeviney

 

Magnificent. Should have been 5 years ago.

 

A big lump in my throat. What a courageous legend Neil is, well done Champion. 

What an awesome man and what a worthy acolade. Well done Australia


Got very teary during his speech. A great man and a great Australian. 

Best news I have heard this year. 

Well deserved. 

How bloody wonderful. Congrats to the whole family really. Well deserved 

 

Bloody awesome, thrilled he has finally been recognised for all the good work he has achieved raising money for a cure for the Beast. Congratulations Neale and family. 

Fantastic achievement- totally deserved in all aspects 


I’m so glad they recognised him whilst he was alive and not posthumously. 
What an effort this man and the family have done/do.

That's an unbelievable achievement Neale, congratulations to you and the whole family.

Great recognition for an almighty cause.

2025 year of the Demons.

Best news I have heard for a while and thoroughly deserved. Congrats Rev.

Every year when I hear who’s won this award I have the same thought: what if Neale’s not given the honour while he’s still alive. This is a great relief. What a beautiful soul he is. 

A great choice and deservedly so.


Well Done Neale! Good to feel good about Australia day for a change...

A magnificent accolade for Neale and his family for their tireless work in raising money, and most importantly, awareness of this dreadful disease. I have lost two of my closest friends to MND and seen its devastating effect. Am so happy the Rev has been recognised in his lifetime. He will leave a brilliant and lasting legacy. Inspirational! 

Neale's acceptance speech was selfless and visionary.  Not a dry eye in the house during, for good reason.  What a well deserved award for all of his hard work!


He and Royce Hart won games, big games, single handedly.

So glad this courageous human being took out this prestigious award. Joined many with a tear or two when I heard the news. Such a fighter  being over ten years beyond the average life expectancy. Stay around Neale for another Demon premiership this year.I A thoroughly deserved honour. Congratulations.

Well done, Neale, an award long overdue. You have left an indelible legacy in your fight against the beast.

My sister died from MND in 2000 and back then barely anyone had heard of it or knew what it was.

Neale's bravery and selflessness to put himself in the spotlight to campaign and help those suffering from this fatal disease has been the main reason MND is widely known in society today.

There are no amount words I could personally put together to convey my gratitude to him.

Neale, you are a true hero.

 

Could Neale somehow get to see all your words (which I share; thank you for finding them)?

Yeah finding the words is very hard. I haven’t watched any of the coverage yet, I’d forgotten it was on and I was watching the tennis. Got a text that just said “Neale, finally 💖” and I burst into tears. The relief was overwhelming.

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
