Yesterday we lost a great Australian. Neale was given a death sentence some 12yrs ago with MND. Since then he and his charity, have raised over a hundred million dollars to fight this horrible disease. When I heard of his death I shed tears, even though we all knew that this day would arrive. He will be given a state funeral. He will be sadly missed.
If the MCG isn't packed to capacity on Big Freeze day I'll be very surprised.
Vale Neale.
If anyone deserves a bloody statue it's you mate.

Yep Craig, the Dees are going well. As a Cats supporter I am amazed that they have been so consistent for so long. Says a lot for the way that they have recruited, having the best coach in the league, and a board that knows how to run an AFL club. Dees got Kingy, a Geelong trained coach!!! can't do much better than that mate.
