It's alright.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome. Thursday, June the 11th. It is great to have you with us. McCafe Menu. Try McCafe's new drinks, Rain. Sam Edmond today with all the news. George Samios, the wonderful world of wine. Corey Mabilio, champion data expert. Jamie Lee Price. Melvin Mavericks are flying, going to play in the finals this year. She's going to join us. And potential Hall of Fame inductee. As I say, good morning to Tim Watson, the Wisp. Go, Whisper. Ah, can't say good morning to Tim Watson. Probably today's not quite the day to have these technical issues, but we shall push forward. It has been a big 24, 48 hours, as we all know, given the state funeral yesterday with Neil Danaher and emotional... An emotional day.
Unknown 1:04
Just apologies to everyone. I'm told that Tim will be joining us in a slight second or so. He just can't get to us at the moment, but as I said, we are a day on from a state funeral that was held at the MCG yesterday, and it was held in the most extraordinary circumstances. I thought everyone that spoke spoke so beautifully. We were taken on a journey, a rollercoaster journey of Neil's life, Hamish McLaughlin, the MC, held proceedings together, and then just a myriad of talkers that came through. And I think Neil's story's been so well told because he's been so brave and public in his fight against MND that I think there's people out there in the public and understanding and think they know him. And I think that became even more to the point yesterday when we sat back and listened to the various people get up and talk about their wonderful lives and he's
Unknown 1:55
Wife Jan has been so extraordinarily brave over the journey. And then his children spoke so beautifully as well. And I think we might have Tim back. Welcome, Whisper.
Tim Watson 2:07
Hi, good morning, Gary. Good morning, everybody. Yes, what a service that was, Gary. What a service that was yesterday. I know. It was...
Unknown 2:19
Yeah, it was two hours, Tim. I reckon I could have sat there for another four hours and listened to people talk about Neil Dennehy. And I know him and you know him better than I do, but I know him well as well. But there are things that I just sat there and smiled at yesterday and laughed along with and then... I don't know, when the kids get up and talk, that's when it gets me. And you hear a son get up and talk about his dad and the fact that he's not going to be there. The emotion was unbelievable. And the reverence within the people, the community that came out and turned out for him was so profound.
Tim Watson 2:53
It was. It was. It was a beautiful service. And they all spoke magnificently.

What reflections are shared about Neale Daniher's funeral?

Tim Watson 2:59
The four children and Jan just spoke magnificently. And that is a very difficult thing to do, get up there and speak. They'd written whatever they needed to say. It was so eloquent. It was so touching. And it actually, you're right, like it summarized their relationship with their father, though, too. Like we'd talk so much about what he'd done to MND and how he'd united people around a cause and that type of thing. But to hear it from their own children and the love and the respect that they had and the lessons that he taught them and the way that he conducted himself as a family man, too. It was just a great insight to this other side of Neil Danaher that other people probably, a lot of people hadn't actually been part of or hadn't had an insight into.
Unknown 3:45
That is exactly right. So you can join us this morning early if you want. We're just rambling along. Been a big 24, 48 hours. So share your thoughts and memories of Neil. 043 98 11 16. You can jump on the line 1300 736 736. If you watched the service or you're at the service yesterday, then we're happy to talk about it.
Tim Watson 4:03
I did want to speak to you about one thing, though, that came and I was actually after the service yesterday, I drove back down to Shore and I was thinking about this all the way down. And that was it came across loud and clear how tough he was, how brutally honest he was, not just with the feedback that he might have given players that played for him from time to time or other people that interacted with him outside his family, but also his family too, right?
