My thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Des was a great man who taught many young men some great lessons, including myself. Many sessions in the 80s being trained hard, taught, yelled at or even chasing him up those hills.
All great memories. Des was a man held in the highest regard by all that knew him and enormously respected by those privileged enough to have been coached by him.
Sincerely, Sean Ralphsmith.
Dear Jo, Nan, Jane, Lisa & Em,
We are so very sad to hear of Des's passing. We talked about how recently we watched him on the beach at Inverloch with his girls and grandkids. Such a wonderful, supportive, gentle man who will remain strong in your memories. Love from the Hills (Jo, Mick, Tom & Ben)

To Nan and all the Meagher family we are so sorry to hear this very sad news!! A great man and true Hawthorn person who will be missed by all. Thinking of you all at this time!
Gary and Annette Buckenara
Des was my first coach at Hawthorn. He took us for training runs around Wattle Park - we all hated him - he used to beat us on the runs. He used to tell us that if he beat us, we didn't have a chance of making the senior team. He was like that. Very straight forward. Des taught me the Hawthorn way in my first year in the seconds - a very dry and funny guy - with a hard but fair attitude. Wow - if it happens to Des it can happen to anyone any time. Best to all the Meagher Family. Fly

Dearest Nan and family
Words cannot express how shocked and saddened Ed and I are at the news of Des' passing. We know you will have wonderful support from your family but please know that we are constantly thinking of you all at this very sad time in your lives.
Tough but fair seems to be a common theme about Des. He had a ferocious will to win which I'm sure was witnessed by many on the tennis in the backyard and on any golf course. I'll never forget the look of exasperation on his face when trying to teach the girls how to kick a footy properly.. Des you had a great influence on my life and I like many will miss you greatly. If your reading this Des up in the big house I'd happily come over on a Sunday morning with the biggest hangover ever and help sweep up the leaves if it meant we could have you back in one piece !!!!
My condolences to my other mum Nan and the girls I'm thinking of you all. Lots of love hugs and kisses Dave Cri and Finn
My Deepest Sympathy to all of the Meagher Family. Having played football with Des in the early 70's, I found out exactly what a true gentleman and excellent sportsman he was. I will never forget those little kicks out of the pack and even some long goals. Nan, my thoughts go out to you and your family.
Dear Em and Family,
Words cannot express how saddened I am for you all on the passing of your dad. So many fond memories of growing up with your dad taking us down to Inverloch and of course to the footy...
Such a great man!
My thoughts are with you all through this very difficult time. Love to whole Meagher Family. xoxoxo

All our love, prayer and thoughts

Dearest Nanny and family,
Chris and I are so so saddened to hear that Des's life has be cut so short. Seeing those amazing pictures from those beautiful grandchildren shows just how much he is loved and how he will leave a lasting (and amazing) impact on their lives.
I was honoured to have seen Des a few times in the last few years at some very precious moments in our life - such a lovely gentle man.
We are thinking of you all and know this time will be a very difficult one - keep breathing and hold on to each other. xxx Sal.
Dear Jo
So sorry to hear your sad news. Condolences to you and your family at this difficult time.

To beautiful Nan and your girls, boys and little ones
We are just devastated to hear of your enormous loss. To think that just a few weeks ago we were laughing with Nan and Des on the deck at Bob and Pam's. Life can be so unfair. We loved Des, a handsome giant of a man who so adored his family. I know your hearts are broken, ours are too. We send you all our love and special thoughts at this tragic time. xxxxxooooo
Dear Nan and family..
Our thought are with you... There are so many things we can say but at the moment "it's just not fair" seems the most appropriate. We are all better people for having crossed paths with Des...
Love the Coutsouvelis family..
Jane, My heart goes out to you and all your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find comfort in the precious memories you all hold and share.

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Nan, Joey, Leese, Jane & Em, boys & kids-
Thinking of you all at this time of unbearable sadness and knowing that not only was Des an amazing man, but that he was so fortunate to have such a loving & capable bunch of girls around him throughout his life - particularly as he endured his last week.
What a loving and supportive dad and grandpa who will live on in your treasured memories.
All my love and sympathy, Megs.
(Billy, Mietta & Lachie too)
It was with great sadness I heard of Des's stroke and even greater sorrow to hear of his passing. I was scared of Des (which I soon learnt was misplaced) when I first met him flogging the twos on a summers preseason at Glenferrie oval. I was fortunate enough to later get to know the whole Meagher family and see more of Desi's tender side and his wicked dry sense of humour.
Des gave so much to family, friends, medicine, football and life in general, and its fair to say today the world is worse off for his passing.
Our heartfelt sympathies to Nan and all the girls
Matt, Erica, Lily and Angus
On behalf of Fiona, Tom, Chloe and myself I extend our deepest condolences to Nan and the Meagher family at hearing the news of Des' passing. Des is,beyond contestation, the most selfless football person I have met. He was uncompromising in setting standards for young players and he was a genius at devising a pre-season run around either Wattle Park or the Kew Boulevard that started and finished in the same place, was all up-hill and always into the wind!
He remains, always, a significant influence on me. The devotion of his family in setting up this chronicle of the past several days is indicative of the impact Desi Meagher has had on those nearest to him. What a wonderful legacy. Here's to celebrating a life lived in full.
"PC"
To Nan, Jo, Lisa, Jane, Emma and families.
I'm reeling; how can a man so full of life so suddenly be gone. My deepest condolences - I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm sure he and Dad are up there now picking the Old Xav's team for the season!
We were at least prepared for Dad's passing; I can only imagine the profound grief you're feeling.
Thinking of you all

To the Meagher family it is with great sorrow to hear of the passing of Des.
He had a great influence on me and i smile today when i think of some of his personal coaching comments made to me.
He was a teriffic bloke and will be greatly missed.
Best wishes.

Dear Meagher Family & extended family. So sorry to hear the news of Des's passing. He is a total inspiration to all who knew him. Our deepest thoughts go out to all the family. Thanks for all the wonderful comments, poems, photos, etc on his website very emotional & heart warming.
Oh Jane! I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing and my condolences go out to the whole family. Sam passed on your blog details today and I'm reading through the tears.
Much love,

Great sadness for all. Such a generous, fun loving man always wanting to play with the kids at the beach or share his wisdom with the adults whilst entertaining at inverloch. Take care girls and look after Nan. All our love Andrea, mark & Julius
Very sad to hear the news of Des and my thoughts to Nan and the family.
His influence on so many of his HFC players was profound and I will always look back on my time under Des as one of great learning. Unquestionably he 'shaped' many of us with method. Proud to have played under him in that Reserves '85 flag that he coached to perfection and still remember fondly the tennis we played in Mitcham with him and the girls... RIP Des.
David Flintoff
Deepest sympathy to Nan and all her beautiful family..Des will be truly missed The O'Hare family
Sending all of our love to the Meagher family - we are thinking of you all a lot. Love Conor, Em, Bonnie and Maeve xx
Des your leadership at WOCFC was something I will never forget. Every player at the cluib knew where they stood with you. We were the beneficiaries of your extraordinary character. I will never forget the way you handled the playing group after the death of our captain, there was only one way and that was forward! To all of the family my deepest sypmathy. RIP Des.
Des your time at WOFC will never be forgotten. I mean how can it. Each time we past players get together and talk of your coaching time, all we ever talk about are two things: Those bloody hill climbs that never ended and the 98 & 99 Premierships'. We may not have been the best skilled team, but we were the fittest team by far. You will be sadly missed not only by the players who played under you, but by all that met you at WOFC. Deepest sympathy to Boomer & Jane and the Meagher Family. Cuzza, Spider and family.
It was an honour to have a man like Des associated with Whitefriars College through his coaching of the Old Collegians Football Club. Quite apart from the success he achieved at the Club, he had a very positive character building influence on so many of the Whitefriars old boys, among others, and this will never be forgotten.

To Jo, Nan, Lise, Jane and Em,
Desi had such a remarkable professional and sporting life, but by far his greatest legacy will be you lot and his grandies.
I have delightful memories of Sunray Court and being thrashed by the Hawks all through the 80s.
Thank God for big loving families and so many friends as you rest your beloved Des.
I am so sorry for your loss and send lots of love. Jen (Bren, Tom and Holly)
Nan and the girls,
Thinking of you all.
Not only was Des one of Mum and Dad's best friends but he was an amazing and constant presence to be around.
So sorry to lose someone as great as Des.
Today was a wonderful tribute!
Well done to you all.
