[NAME AWAITING VERIFICATION]
Matt FREGON (Ashwood) (09:47): One thing I did last year with the Demons was I got dunked in the Big Freeze. Obviously, this week we have had our condolence motion for Neale Daniher – what a giant of our country and a big loss for our country. Bec and I have a family friend Peggy, who is living with MND, and it is such a hard road to go down. So that awareness that the Daniher family have brought and shared with us really cannot be measured. I managed to get the beanie that I wore yesterday from Ashwood High School, who have done their Big Freeze already – and a big shout-out to Ashwood High and all the students down there. I did not have time to do it; I will do it next year if I am here.
