If Jimmy is having an operation later this week it would seem that whatever is wrong must only been recently discovered otherwise he would have stood down before this. I am hoping that his standing down is only an interim measure and that we can all look forward to his return in the near future. Good luck and God bless.

I am hoping and praying that it's just media hype but in my heart I know it's true. How terrible and what a loss for the club. Jim is Australians finest import ever.

Get well soon, Jim.

Absolute tragedy. Get well Jim and look after yourself. You have inspired so many of us and we will not let you down. Our prayers are with you and your family. There will always be a spot for you when you have recovered.

Is it not possible that seeing today was the membership cut off date, that Jimmy waited for this? If some people knew he wasn't going to be President, they might not sign up and we may not have signed up the last few. It'd be typicaly Jimmy, putting other people ahead of himself.

I highly doubt it. Jimmy's health is more important than memberships and he is having an operation later this week for what is suposedly a serious illness.

We wish you and your family all the best Jimma

Melbourne Football Club vice president Don McLardy said last night he could not comment about Stynes.

"No, I can't actually, mate, but certainly tomorrow there'll be an announcement," he said.

Mr McLardy said he expected the announcement to be made late on Thursday morning.

When asked if last night's television report about Styne's illness was correct, he said: "I can't make any comment. But it will all be cleared up tomorrow."

I am just gutted.

Obviously, firstly, hoping this is untrue and if true, that Jim has a speedy and full recovery.

Secondly, if true it is a shocking day for the MFC. Truly shocking. Jim is an ambitious and coalition building president. He has done more to unite the club than any predecessor in 50 years. I think he would be irreplaceable and I fear the consequences on our future. As others have said, Lyon or Neitz, but moreso Lyon or someone of his calibre, must roll up his sleeves and do the job that must be done.

Having been involved in some MFC things in the past couple of weeks, if this is true I would say no-one saw it coming until very recently.

I am just absolutely shocked. Massive. I mean massive shoes to fill. Can we cop without him? If he gets over his illness will he come back as president? A million things running through my mind right now. He is a true legend, a true champion and a champion bloke. Why did it have to be Jimmyyyy. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. Get better mate, we love you.

Shocking news both for Jim himself and obviously for the club.....

If the reported illness is proven to be correct tomorrow, then I hope for a speedy and healthy recovery asap, for Jim and his family.

As for the club, this is potentially horrible news, as he has been one of the few shining lights and is the saving grace for the current red and blue.

But lets wait to see what will happen tomorrow and hope for the best for everyone.

I was out watching a band tonight, had some friends texting me with the news... This is really sad... My first thoughts are with Jim, and hoping this is an illness he can beat.... I've got no doubt he would give his life for this footy club, lets all prey that this is an illness that he can defeat, to see our club thrive into the future...

Completely shocked. Just gobsmacked. :(

My thoughts go out to Jimmy, i hope, firstly and foremostly that he is ok and it's nothing life threatening. This is very sad news for Jimmy's family, the club and everyone else involved. Considering how well he has been doing so far in his tenure only serves to intensify the sadness i feel at this news.

All the best Jimmy, get well soon mate. We need you!

I concur the thoughts of others; Garry, we know you won't coach us, but will u stand up and lead this club in Jim's absence, when we need you the most???

I can't sleep. The more I think about this, the more I think he's really really ill, or could become this way. Get well soon Jimma. Your passion on Queen's Birthday was amazing. Use some of this passion to get over this!!!!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
