I wonder if he will be live in the studio or it will be a pre recorded interview with Damien Barret or Hutchy. Either way I will be watching. Love ya Jim. Im guessing he will be on early if live in the studio. Maybe its to do with the call of arms where you wear a yellow ribbon to support cancer because essendon usually wear them against us.

If they ever name the premiership cup. (which I hope they never do.)

They could do much worse than the Stynes Cup

Jimmy Stynes at least deserves something named after him...maybe the Rising Star award can be called the Jim Stynes Medal

The man is a legend, an inspiration, and a big part of what makes ours, the best goddamn football club in the world.

We are destined for greatness once more, and it is my one wish that Jim gets to enjoy all the success which he has had a hand in.

With the two great Demon men up their tonight (Jim & Gaz), shivers down the spine right now.

We HAVE to win this week - no mistake about it!!

Did anyone else catch Garrys' look down the camera when he said that "the 22 Melbourne boys sitting at home tonight watching this WILL win this week"?? Took me back to the days of been in the rooms as Jim & Gaz warmed up before games, both proud & prowling around. Love those memories.....

Make a stand this week Melbourne!

He was staring daggers, hopefully the boys can get out there from the first bounce and do us proud.

Jimmy is a bloody legend. The entire audience and the panel listened to everything he had to say. No stupid jokes from Sam. Just fair dinkum respect. He and Garry obviously have an enormous mateship. The guy is just so positive and 'in touch'. Everyone I know has the highest degree of respect for Our Jimma! Come on boys, show the passion this week! Do it for Jim.

This is the game we need to make a statement. I don't care what it takes before the game, the boys need to be revved up and pumped, whether Jimmy goes down into the rooms or something else, they need to come out and blow the Bombers away.

You can talk about Scullys, Trengoves as superstars, but Jim puts footy in perspective. He is a bonafide superstar and an inspiration to us all - we love you big fella

I don't think I've ever seen Sam show respect to a guest. Spoke volumes.

I was so proud to be a member of this great club as I listened to him, and just marvelled at the character of the man to put his problems behind him to support the team we love.

God bless you Jim.

I'll be watching. When Jim talks people stop and listen !! I love the man.

Gee do they ever. Even the panel went all coy, I had a close look at their faces and I reckon even they were a bit nervous. That may have been the most compelling footage on the footy show all year. Buggered if I know why. He didn't have any huge news for us. I thought maybe they'd announce a presidency replacement or something.

Jimmy Stynes at least deserves something named after him...maybe the Rising Star award can be called the Jim Stynes Medal

I think it's already named after Ron Evans isn't it?

This club ultimately has to be judged on premierships. We're not a great club, in fact, we've been pitiful.

The wheel is turning, but any future success can only be judged by flags.

And yes, Jim is a great man.

To me, our club is the greatest in the world.

You may disagree, and others may disagree, but we are still the oldest professional sporting club in the world and we have a rich and very successful history.

As a club we have done a lot for the AFL, pioneered the game, the international rookie and also gave the football world some of the greatest players in history.

I feel proud to be a Melbourne supporter, even when we are on the bottom of the ladder. I've never denied who I barrack for or been ashamed to admit it.

That's a one-eyed passion I admire, but also have sympathy for. We've been a club that has failed to grasp the fundamentals of what it takes to be a successful BUSINESS, as opposed to just a successful CLUB. We've been a very poor business for going on 40 years now. We may be pioneers, but that doesn't dictate quality imo. Look at Sheffield Wednesday.

We haven't done anything for the league in 40-50 years. I've never denied who I barrack for, and I say I go for Melbourne with pride, because I want people to know how dedicated a supporter I am, despite recent failures. It says a lot about a person's character to stick with a team so aggressively when they're failing.

But I can say that we are far off being the greatest club in the world at the moment. We may have been one day, but we've failed to take advantage of our age and position in Australian sports culture, which has allowed clubs like Collingwood to overtake out. Being good 40 years ago means nothing now.

But we're on the way up.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
