But Daniher showed that he could still be a staunch advocate for the people and the cause he supported without his own voice.Daniher lived to see a Melbourne premiership — the first in 57 years — in 2021 He did not live to see the breakthrough in MND, but his strength, resilience and dignity in the face of the fight he could not win helped bring a country with him and no doubt have inspired those who follow him.In a football sense, he never won a premiership as a player or senior coach — although he was part of Essendon's 1993 flag as an assistant under Kevin Sheedy.But what he did win was far greater — as a leader, an advocate and a driving force behind a movement that will continue to exist until a cure is found.Regardless of when that happens, Neale Daniher's life's work ensures his name will never be forgotten, inside or outside football.
