I just turned on the channel 9 news this morning to hear them report that Jimmy Stynes is stepping down due to illness! Has anyone heard any more about this? Apparently he wont disclose the nature of the illness but it is with immediate effect.

If this is true it is an absolute tragedy for him and his family. FWIW it has been confirmed on channel 7 as well

Get well Jimmy

Good luck Jimmy, Wish you all the best, get well soon!

On a selfish note that means the club has just dropped backwards...... a lot.

Jimmy has achieved a lot in the short time in his presidency, has pretty much made the club a singular entity where we were all over the shop.

Sudden illness is never good, fingers crossed for Jimmy.

To support Jimmy we need to get to the game this week, he will be watching and to see 30K at the MCG and a win surely will help his recovery, something positive always helps.

Neil Mitchell saying now that he has been in contact with Jim via text and others close to Jim and whilst not revealing the problem did say it has the potential to be very serious. Jim will be making an announcement at 1pm today.

Prostate cancer i have heard. Just terrible.

Thoughts and prayers.

Leoncelli is the man to take over in my opinion.

Lets not make this a forum about bashing Lyon for not taking on teh presidents role, either, as aclub we are better than that.

and just because Garry is in the media doesnt mean he would be a very good president

Don Mclardy should be president

Don McLardy would be an excellent Pres. He was the man behind the Debt Demolition and what a great job he did with that. I would be happy with him or Leoncelli as interim's but they are just not our Jimma.

Its a huge shame. He's put the club back on the right track and has worked really hard with media and sponsors to restore the clubs reputation.

Gets well soon Jim. Your a true MFC great.

from the club.....

" There will be a press conference at 1pm today. Jim Stynes will speak at that time. Jim is keen to be the one to give the detail on his circumstances."

Would any person have made such a impact on a football club in one year of presidency?

I don't think so.

Absolute champion!

There should be a statue of Jimmy at the MCG with 3 words Heart, Devotion, Passion

Speculation on SEN is that it is a temporary step down for the recovery period, may only be for 6 weeks or so.

Phew! Fingers crossed this is 'on the money'.

Had to ring the club about another matter this morning, and the lady on the phone told me there is a bit of madness going on with emergency meetings taking place. This is obviously a big shock to everyone, Jim included.

Tried as I may, she wouldn't give me anything else. Said she doesn't know yet.

Let's hope it is only a temporary thing and that Jim is able to make a full and quick recovery!

I think we all hope that this is true...however, if this was the case, would they be having a press conference all?

Yep, considering the seriousness of the illness I reckon they would. I think it will be more a situation of Jimmy wanting to return when he is feels fit enough rather than giving a fixed time frame.

Sometimes we have fierce debates on this forum. We sometimes even bag each other, but when thinking of Jimmy, lets stick fat and turn out to the game on the weekend.

Thinking of you Jim. Get well soon mate.

"An Irish Blessing"

May the road rise up to meet you

May the wind be always at your back

May the sun shine warm upon your face

And rains fall softly upon your fields

And until we meet again

May the good Lord hold you in the Hollow of His hand

Are you really Gary Honey's bro? Dud or otherwise. I know Gary.

Praying for your health Jimmy (and I trust these prayers will be much more successful than some of my prayers for Melbourne wins :D

The illness could be one of his children or his wife and he needs to take time out to support them.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
