Jim Stynes to remain President but temporarily step down down due to illness!

Featured Replies

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.

OMG... what very sad news :angry: .. From the bottom of my red and blue heart, I wish you a speedy recovery Jim. :wub: Best wished to his family also.

Come on MFC.. a win for Jim this week..please :o

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.

I can't believe it. Someone seemingly so fit and durable. Get well soon Jimmy.

 

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.

Prostate cancer i have heard. Just terrible.

Man that's terrible news!!

Hope he can overcome this and perhaps we'll see him involved again with the MFC one day.

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.

  • 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.
