EDIT:

Stynes will remain President but delegate duties to other Board members temporarily, with Don McLardy taking over as interim President. Three weeks ago he had a lump in his back removed which turned out to be cancerous and it has spread to other parts of the body. He will undergo surgery tomorrow (Source: MFC.)

Due to illness.

Just announced on channel 9.

Get well Jim. You have done so much for this club

 

Just said on 9 that Jimmy Stynes is standing down as President due to illness.

No more details.

 

According to a Nine news report, just moments ago, the great man Jimmy will be stepping down from the presidency of the MFC. Horrible, horrible news, if true. Get well soon, Jimmy!

I don't have a link but this was just shown on a channel 9 news update.

The reason is illness. If this is true, I am sure more of this will be coming shortly. Sorry to not have a source or a link, but if this is true, this is very sad news.

He has left some very big shoes to fill. Not just literally.

Very sad news for the club.

 

I heard that too, just the tail end of it. Dunno what is going on


Pencil in a win this weekend. This just might fire up the the leadership group.

Thanks for all you`ve done Jimmy, you saved our club from a slow death!

Get well soon.

There's nothing on any of the web news sites (10.48 pm). Hoping it's not true.

Jimmy we love you man. Go n'éirí an t-ádh leat.

I just saw this too. This is terrible news. He wouldn't be stepping down if it wasn't serious. Get well Jimmy! Fire on Demons.

Get better Jimmy, You are a true gentleman/legend of our game, you have done so much for our glourious club....... hope all is well,

you were my favrioute player as a young lad a player who i loved growning up, and this short stint as president has made me love you even more.... GET BETTER SOON JIM... :(


WOW. Absolutely terrible, terrible news for this footy club.

Jim Stynes has done such a great amount of work in such a short time, let's hope his illness isn't too bad!

GET WELL JIMMY AND THANKYOU!

Terrible terrible news, get well soon Jimmy!

Some [censored] on BF started a thread "stynes funeral monday" saying he's passed away, gutless [censored]...


Typical channel nine...trying to break a story...giving us absolutely no imformation whatsoever and saying "more on the today show tomorrow"...it is disgusting.

You would imagine that one of the two vice presidents would temporarily or permanantly fill his shoes...

listening to SEN atm and there is nothing of it so far but they are playing the news now

Jimmy isnt a quitter so this must be serious

Hoping for the best

 

I am hoping this is all a typical tv news stuff up...notice the age article: "channel nine revealed."

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
