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."

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 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

    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
