Dear Jim

I have never personally met you, but I feel you have been part of my family. I have been to just about every game you played for the mighty Demons, I have watched you from your humble beginnings and shared in your successes and cried with your disappointments. To see you at the head of the footy club I love and obviously you do as well, was almost a dream come true. Now you have this challenge I will still feel like I’m going through it with you. I have lost a number of friends and family through cancer, (no greater loss was my 10 year old sister). I will have an idea of what you and especially your family will be going through. All I can say is that seeing where you’ve been and what you’ve achieved, you will handle this with all the grit and determination that has made you who you are.

All the very best to you and your family, hope to see you back at the MFC very soon, with a premiership cup in your hands.

    Good.

    Jim, all the best mate. God speed for recovery. Thoughts are Jim and with his family at this time. Hope everything went to plan today for the operation. Let's see you when you get back. Behind the goals champ! Legend.

    I thought Macca and Aaron holding up Jim's old number 37 jumper as they left the field today was a special moment. Felt a little choked up watching it. Also saw the footage on the tv tonight of the boys all in a circle before the game with Jims old jumper in the centre. Would have been a pretty powerful pre-match rev up I reckon.

    I might be wrong, but I think I heard John Ralph say during halftime in the Dogs-Hawks game that Jim has had the surgery and that a large part of his lung was removed. They are also waiting on further tests that have been sent to the U.S. to be done. I'm not sure of the accuracy of this reporting.

    I don't think it needs to be said. I think we're all aware of the reality of the situation and the battle confronting Jim.

    I'm not a religious man at all, but I know Jim is, and with respect for his faith and a need in myself that I haven't felt for a long time, I said a prayer for Jim last night. I'm guessing I wasn't alone.

    This is the first time i have been near a PC since last week.

    Just want to pass on good strong energy to you Jimma. All of us at Melbourne consider you "Family" & as such hope you make a Full Recovery.

    Seeing Junior Hold up your original 37 Guernsey was trully inspiring. Rest up Big Fella & eat well.

    This will be a long Tough Road make no mistake, but those challenges are nothing new to you, I am Planning to re read your book from the '90's after i have completed The "Red Fox"

    I want to see Our Captain, Our Coach & President Jim Stynes Hold a Premiership Cup high in the Air at The MCG in years to come.....It Will Be Done.

    • 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.
