Certified Legendary Thread Big Freeze 4 - Neale Daniher and the Big Freeze at the G - Monday 11 June

[100volt1]

No problem with that, e-mail it to the league.

One question though when is there going to be a Caucasian straight person round?

I believe it's after the "Presbyterianism Round"

Need to save some rounds for future issues. Go vegan round, no plastic packaging round etc

Bloody hell its rough hearing Neale talk each year and seeing the progression of this damn disease on him.

As awful as it is I’m quite shocked at how much he can still do. It often moves much quicker.

The fact that he can still walk at the 4 year mark is amazing.

 

[Neese]

I missed Bucks going , what did he do?

You can see all coaches runs in the video on the AFL site.
Well done to all the coaches, Neale and organisers.

 

[Neese]

I'm not crying, you're crying.

Old mate in the circle.

That's pretty awesome.

I dunno. It's a great cause like almost all charities are. But do we need this in a football competition?
I didn't watch the footy this weekend, but I kinda want to watch football just for the fun of watching it, not with every game having some kind of struggle or theme or guilt trip associated with it.

I don’t think you need a full round. These things can suffer from fatigue. It works well before the QB game, which is a one-off “marquee” fixture that was pretty boring and lacked something anyway.

 

[The Swert]

Well they started doing ANZAC ceremonies at every match of that round so that it lost all meaning and significance, so yeh it's sounds about right for the AFL.

 

[AG]

Nope. It is perfect as it is.

 

[citizen-erased]

Would be good to have the Neale Daniher cup and have a Dees v Dons game
2 clubs he had long histories at, and played off in his final AFL game as coach.

it's been quite a week and weekend hearing stories about the man and how many he has had an impact on in the community.

Agreed. I've lost someone to MND, and I have been pleasantly surprised at the fact Neale has been able to keep fronting up year after year as well as he has.

 

[nameless]

Great cause, great man.
But it's working well as is, Neale said he's going to SA and WA in coming weeks to continue promotion so I think it's already bigger than a single day.

 

[Mootsy]

I think just keeping it marquee and "the blue beanie" big freeze day is enough, the charity goes hand in hand with that anyway. That keeps the fun element to it, which is what people want at the footy!

 

[Harry Hook]

We don't have a Lou Richards round nor a Ted Whitten round or a Jim Stynes round - for a reason.

Better to leave the memory of the man as is.

 

[PhatBoy]

Do they sell the beanies at every game?

In nrl they have a beanie for brain cancer round for the Mark Hughes Foundation. Wherever Newcastle play is usually the focal point but it is a league wide thing

GAGF. I’ll start following soccer.

Warwick Capper?

 

[cykablyat]

Wouldn't be against a caucasion round to be honest.

All sides wear their white jumpers, who cares about jumper clashes.... all games at 2pm

combine them
Vegan pie in paper bag

seriously though, serve pastry in a paper bag.
heat and plastic = water. Makes pastry soggy.

not sure a vegan four and twenty would be any worse than they currently are....sad excuse for a pie.

I think its a great idea, would be even better if the AFL scheduled the Showdown, Western Derby, Q Clash and whatever its called between Sydney and GWS on the same weekend.
Have the Bombers play the Demons for Neil, Hawks play the cats, Saints play the Dogs, Pies play the Blues and North play the Tigers or whatever will draw the biggest crowds.
Fill a stadium in every State on one weekend in support of Neil.

Maximum exposure, maximum attendance, maximum financial support.

Very cynical attitude
I'm pretty proud that the sport I love can do things like we saw today

you can still watch and zone out to anything you aren't interested in.
i do with TV commentators and half time segments.

problem gamblers round would be awesome.
restrict all betting with the majors for that round...might show some people that the game can be enjoyed without the punt.

Neale has given plenty to the game as a player, coach and assistant.
And he's giving even more to a cause that will eventually swallow his body before his time.
