Georgie’s supported the Maroons for more than 30 years — and they’ve just delivered one of the greatest wins in sport. Like Blues tears through a leaky sieve, this was a victory full of emotion, defiance, and deep humanity.

For today's episode, we're very lucky to have Bec Daniher joining us in studio ahead of FightMND's 11th Big Freeze at the MCG. In 2013 AFL legend Neale Daniher, Bec's father, was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. But rather than fade into the background, Neale dedicated his life to helping prevent the suffering of those who’ll be diagnosed in the future. The charity he co-founded, FightMND, has since raised $115 million and raised awareness of this devastating illness in Australian culture.
