    I’m so glad they recognised him whilst he was alive and not posthumously.

    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 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!

    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.

    • 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.
