The founding father of the Big Freeze movement may be gone, but Neale Daniher's message to "play on” has never been louder. Ten celebrities took the icy plunge in his honour as a sea of blue took over the MCG and sporting codes united in battle against the Beast. In an absolute nailbiter, the Demons beat the Magpies by 8 points. @NickMcCallum7 @cleary_mitch @KristyMayr7
