Neale Daniher has passed away after a long and courageous fight with MND.
His family has released the following statement confirming the news:
"We’re heartbroken to share that our much-loved husband, Dad and Poppy, Neale Daniher, passed away at home, surrounded by his family.
From day one, Neale was a fighter. His determination was unmatched - choosing every day to find opportunity where others might see only challenge, and taking the fight to the Beast with everything he had.
Even in the toughest times, he kept pushing forward, determined to land as many blows as he could against his toughest opponent, all with a cheeky grin and a sharp sense of humour that never left him.
Long before MND, Neale had always been the heart of our family.
Growing up as one of eleven children, he brought light and laughter wherever he went.
He loved deeply and was loved just as much in return by his family and friends.
Across every part of his life, Neale left his mark.
Many knew him as “Coach” or “Reverend” during his time at the Dees, while at the Dons he was respected as a fierce and calculating player, with a brilliant football mind.
He was a natural leader, someone people were drawn to and looked up to.
But beyond all of that, he was a loving husband, dad, a proud Poppy, a music lover, and the one with the biggest laugh in the room.
He was known for his quick wit, his humour, and his ability to bring people together - qualities that defined him far more than any title ever could.
We want to thank the incredible community who stood beside Neale and our family throughout this journey.
Your support, kindness, and unwavering belief meant more than we could ever put into words. Neale drew great strength from knowing he was never alone, and neither were we.
We are so grateful to the incredible carers, nurses, doctors, researchers, and specialists who supported Neale and our family with such dedication and compassion. Thank you.
Neale’s fight was never his alone. It became something bigger - something shared - and it touched the lives of many.
His wish was simple but powerful - to help create a world where no one has to face this disease. But beyond that he wanted to leave a legacy that says this “No matter the odds, no matter the diagnosis, we all have the power to fight, to smile, and to do.
Because the mark of a person isn’t what they say, "it’s what they do”.
We will forever remember him for the lasting impact that he has made on us all. He has inspired, he has loved, he has lived and it would only be fitting to finish with his words - Play On."

@alkaiuf_ Great take, he’s arguably been the most important player for the club the last two years. NAS likely goes without him

@BomberRicko No chance they would on anything near 2m . More likely 1.2m combined

I love highlighting players and plans that never make a highlight reel, and this week I think what Mitch Owens did to help the Saints was AWESOME

@Teddybetsau @NateoSC Kane cornes did the exact same thing for luke jackson btw. Thank you for the alley-oop. 🥰

@timrosen35 @archerroberts9 I think there was the 1st quarter and patches in the 4th where he was really good. He was missing when the momentum swung. Don’t think he was one of our best.
English

Damn. Only watched the second half but we looked so good in patches.
Flanders much better. Higgins back to form. Marshall found it. Wilson battled. Hill solid.
Adelaide did it for the Dawson’s ❤️

@B00SH21 @thetincansaint @alkaiuf_ They thought he could. Realised pretty early in his first pre season.
