The AFL world will mourn the loss of Ashlee Good on Sunday after the mother was fatally stabbed in the horrific random attack at Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney on Saturday.
Good, 38, who left her injured baby in the hands of strangers, was the daughter of former North Melbourne player and Tasmanian Hall-of-Famer Kerry Good.
Good was well known in the Melbourne community and was close friends with ex-Demons player Steve Febey, who posted a heartbreaking tribute to her on Sunday morning.
“Words fail me, absolutely shattered,” Febey posted on social media alongside a series of photos of himself and Good together.

Friend and former AFL player Steve Febey says he is shocked by the tragic news
“I can’t fathom how this could happen to the most amazing, beautiful and caring human being.
“I will always cherish our friendship, five stars and the wonderful times we shared. I love you forever Ash xx.”
Kangaroos players will wear black armbands in honor of Good in their match against Geelong on Sunday.
North Melbourne club president Sonja Hood said the club was “extremely saddened” by the tragic death.
“Like all Australians, we were shocked to see the horrific details coming out of Sydney on Saturday,” Hood said.
‘To later learn that Ashlee and her daughter were victims of this tragedy brings something so close.
‘Our thoughts and condolences go out to everyone affected by the terrible events, especially to Ashlee’s partner Daniel Flanagan, Kerry and Dian, Ashlee’s mother Denise and Ashlee’s extended family and friends.
“Kerry and his family are incredibly important people in the history of our club and we offer them our love and support at this incredibly difficult time.”

Just hours before the horror unfolded, Dr. Good posted a photo on Instagram with her baby Harriet in her arms.
“Just because I walked by and happened to wear the same thing for 9 months vs. 9 months inside, etc,” the caption read.
She also posted a short video of her daughter sitting in a car seat with The Temptations’ song My Girl over it.
Harrowing details have emerged about what happened the moment Dr Good and her baby were attacked.
Just before 5pm, a witness interrupted a Nine News reporter’s live broadcast from the scene and pointed to his brother and said: “He’s a hero – he saved the baby.”
The clearly shaken man said he used clothes from a store to stop the baby’s bleeding.
“The baby was stabbed and, yes, the mother was stabbed,” he said. ‘The mother came to me with the baby and threw him at me.
“I just helped by holding the baby… and trying to compress the baby.”
The Good family released a statement on Sunday to confirm that baby Harriet is “doing well.”
