    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
