RIP to The Reverend

Thanks for all the memories as coach of the Demons. Might well have won the flag in 2000 if we didnt run into a team that lost only 1 game all year.

You were and are an inspiration to millions.

Just heard, so sad, RIP. hope big freeze will be huge this year

 

[Lunchtime]

Sad news. R.I.P

 

[Foreign Legion]

His legacy to the fight against MND is bigger than his playing or coaching career. Certainly made nearly every Australian aware of the ruthlessness of this issue.

RIP Neale.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Shattered

 

[chickenonachain]

A truly horrible disease hoping all the money he helped to raise will find a cure someday. Rest in peace to a true gentleman

 

[Nuggets73]

A sad day for our game. Rest in peace Neale — you were a shining light for so many

 

[Shane_Mag]

I think we can all agree on something and that is how much of an amazing man Neale was. R.I.P

 

[Wojcinski]

no more suffering for Neale, MND can get ****ed

 

[Leon]

Nooooooooooooooooo

 

[Pistol Night]

The selflessness and courage this bloke showed over 13 years battling this horrible disease is beyond words. RIP legend

 

[SportsCentre]

I feel like I've just been punched in the guts multiple times.

 

[Tas]

RIP

Very sad he was inflicted with this but he gave his battle the exposure it needed so we can hopefully find a cure for it one day.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Fought the beast right up to the bitter end.

Vale Neale.

 

[Pistol Night]

I feel like I've just been punched in the guts multiple times.

Yeah this is one that shakes the whole football world

 

[Nelso]

RIP Neale

What an inspiration you were.

A true one of a kind.

 

[Daniel6]

The Kings Birthday game is going to be extra emotional now.

Rest in Peace Neale Daniher

 

[djv]

Incredible that he fought the disease as long as he did. What a warrior!

RIP and God's blessings to his family.

 

[theiaofseed]

The courage to face MND with such determination will forever be inspirational, a loss that will impact everyone. RIP Neale.

 

[Paul Kersey]

Rest well Neale. An incredible human.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Very sad news. And just a few weeks away from the next Kings Birthday Big Freeze. Then again to have fought this long has been unbelievable, I recall he said MND usually only gives you 3 years, so he did well to stave it off for another 10!

RIP Rev

 

[Forward Press]

Neale Daniher's legacy will be what he did outside football. I hope becoming the face of MND and his tireless advocacy for it leads more quickly to better treatment and a cure.

RIP

As courageous as they come.
Wear you angel wings with pride
