A new episode of the MCC members’ podcast shines a light on Neale Daniher and his incredible fight against the ‘Beast’, all while taking a look back on the rise of a very different MCG tradition.
While this year’s Queen’s Birthday clash between Melbourne and Collingwood was relocated to Sydney, a new crop of celebrity ‘sliders’ descended down the famous slide for Big Freeze 7 as the AFL community once again united to combat Motor Neurone Disease (MND).In this episode of At the ‘G, host Anthony Hudson pays tribute to the incredible contribution of former Essendon champion and Melbourne coach Neale Daniher, whose refusal to submit in the face of enormous adversity has seen him turn his personal battle with MND into an uplifting campaign to raise awareness – and important funds – in the fight against the ‘Beast’.
We hear about Daniher from those close to him – daughter Bec, whose passion and drive is doing so much to lead the fight, and friends including Tim Watson, Garry Lyon, Chris Fagan, Nick Riewoldt, Gerard Whateley and Mark Robinson.
