I think the media have excelled themselves this week in the coverage of Jack's passing.
Especially today, when unfortunately I couldn't get the time off to go to the funeral, but streamed 3aw onto my work computer - don't tell my boss lol - and got regular updates of what was happening.
The Herald Sun's coverage has been second to none, with a great tribute page today - so get a copy.
And I'm looking forward (are they the right words??) to tonight's coverage of the funeral on Foxtel.
To me, today's coverage is unprecedented because it wasn't a state funeral. I guess that just shows what great esteem Jack held with everyone in the football world.
And well done to the Richmond Football Club for what I've been told was a very tasteful and fitting tribute to Jack.
Looking forward to Sunday - hope all Tiger fans show up and make Jack's final farewell a grand one.
Go Tiges!
