can someone please find out what that song was played about half way through when hes sitting on his hospital bed with his wife.

it was an awesome song and i want to find it plzzz. (it was a guy singing) :)

 

Anyone know how old his son is and if he plays footy..?

God, I hope he does and he makes the grade for the MFC.

What a fantastic documentary.

How can you not love the man?

If you had of watched the doco you would have noticed Jimma having kick to nick with his son,Tiernan,whom is either 5 or 6..a very tall boy for his age.

OVERWHELMING !

Jim just loves life it self great doco will be buying a copy. :wub:

the most inspiring bloke I've ever seen, it's true that only the good die young, let's just hope he get's at least another 5 years to see the Demon's develop into Premiership team

Ordered the DVD Saturday. Sunday was way too crowded at our house with friends and family around.

Definitely watching by myself the first chance I get.

Thanks for pointing out the bleeding obvious again John, but you've confirmed nothing in that post.

Might as well have saved your keystrokes.

 

You know what REALLY urks me??? And I do get passionate about this.

If there truly is a "God", why does He put [censored] on the most amazing of people??? Why is it truly that good die young??? What did Jimmy do to deserve this after all he's done for AFL and the Reach Foundation that he HIMSELF founded???

Answer: NOTHING!! The bloke is the only Jesus Christ there has ever been. In fact, he's the only God I'm aware of.

Unfortunately, the [censored] has hit the fan and Jimmy and his close family/friends are knee deep in it. I'm praying that St Jimmy pulls through. One thing's for sure though... he has done his absolute best and has lived up to his solid reputation: A fighter through adversity.

I find it ironic that you are praying for St Jimmy despite the fact you are openly questioning the existence of God. So who are you praying too in that case???

Also for those (like me) that didn't get to see the doco on Sunday night, Channel Nine is doing an encore showing of it at 10.30pm this Wednesday night.

I asked the kid's age - you said 5 or 6, so you clearly don't know.

I also asked if he played footy and you said he played kick to kick with his father in the doco.

Bit of a stretch between the 2.

Go have a bex and a lie down old fella.

The entire football world, and a multitude of others whose lives you have touched, are with you on this Jimma. Good luck Big Fella.

From Jimmy's Twitter

Thinking of you Jimmy. Good luck.

JIM STYNES' SPIRITUAL SMOKE 'BATH'

Read about that in saturdays Hun, apparently the Jimma is looking and feeling great.

As a disabled person myself i find Jimmy's plight totally uplifting and inspirational. Yes it has been all said before, but The great man just might beat this evil Cancer and from that,

He The MFC and the supporters of, will be so much stronger.....Look out all teams in the AFL. The Demons are going to be so United & so strong...to those outside it will be a little scary!!!

Keep Fighting Jimma.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
