AFL: It’s a Big Freeze at the ‘G with a special significance following the passing of Neale Daniher last month.
The annual event preceding the blockbuster clash between Collingwood and Melbourne is set to once again thrill, with a host of big names going down the slide and into the icy water at the MCG in the name of raising funds to fight Motor Neurone Disease.
Musician Amy Shark headlines this year’s participants, with Australia’s governor-general Sam Mostyn also taking the plunge.
Former King’s Birthday stalwarts Nathan Jones (Melbourne) and Dale Thomas (Collingwood) represent past players, with fellow athletes Jo Weston and Cooper Woods also on board. Andy Lee, Sam Mac, Dan Gorringe and Mark Howard round out the group.
Stay across all the action below - and tune in on Seven and 7Plus - as the celebrity sliders take the plunge from 12pm (WA time)!

Tim Watson’s emotional tribute to Daniher
Welcome
Hello and wlecome to The West Australian’s coverage of the Big Freeze at the G.
It’s the 12th time the AFL world comes together to help fight MND but it will be the first time we do it without Neale Daniher just two weeks on from his passing.
He inspired the nation with his fight and it will be a hugely emotional day for all.
But there will also be celebration of a great man and of course the sliders in front of what will be a bumper crowd.
