Episode Details

Neale Daniher, the legendary AFL coach and MND warrior, has passed away at 65, leaving behind a legacy of courage and compassion. Diagnosed with motor neurone disease in 2013, he turned his battle into a beacon of hope, dubbing the illness “The Beast” and fighting it with humor, grit, and relentless advocacy. His tireless work earned him the 2025 Australian of the Year honor and helped launch the “Big Freeze” fundraiser, now a cornerstone of MND research. He died peacefully at home, surrounded by family — a true fighter to the end.
