Neale Daniher funeral live updates: MCG crowd gathers for AFL legend to pay tribute to FightMND campaigner
As Hamish McLachlan says, closing out the service, Daniher “changed the way many of us look at the world and the cards we’ve been dealt” with “his hope, his humour, his heart”.
“He never asked us to feel sorry for him. He just asked us to fight alongside of him. And the country picked up a beanie and answered collectively. We are a better community because of you.
“The world feels less without you Neale but much better because you were here … Neale, we will honour your wishes and play on. Rest in peace.”
