A truly remarkable human being.  A fantastic footballer and a great ambassador for youth.  The work you have done on both the football field for the Melbourne Football Club and for your charity Reach has been outstanding, you certainly have been a champion in whatever you have done.

The world will be a poorer place for your passing and may you rest in peace. 

You will be sadly missed by all.  Our deepest sympathy to your family and friends and may your legacy live on forever.
