Yep. I felt the same. His inspirational spirit is going to rub off on us all.

Jim Stynes is on the same Level as Norm Smith as far as the MFC is concerned.

Superstar - really has given the club a lift

Hearing the crowd cheer and applaud and then seeing Jimmy walk down to the cheer squad with his Dees scarf on - one of the best moments as a lifelong Melbourne supporter. Glad my kids were there to see it - they were just as excited at seeing Jim as seeing the win.

yes i took my girlfriend to the game and we saw jim walk down to the cheersquad with his son. it brought a tear to the eye for both of us. everyone around us fell to a hush and then a cheer - ie "it's jim stynes". talk about a hero - he gave extra significance to the actions of the team on the field. it really puts everything into perspective doesn't it? football is a game that takes up so much of our lives - and yet is essentially just a game - blokes kicking around a football. but football is more than a game for us now in that we have all got to know this inspirational man and his fight to save our club and then to save his own life. i believe he will succeed in both.

Well said my Friend-Thanks to Jimmy we will all continue to watch this great club. The Crowds will come.

Going through the pain of 2009 is now so worth it.

How proud would Jimma have felt today-seeing those young kids start to impose themselves around the ground.

From the MCC Reserve i could hear the cheers but had no idea that Jimmy was there till the end.

Just Great.

Seeing Jimmy enjoy the win was as good as the win itself.

    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

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    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.
