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."

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
