It is going to be tough, i have known a few cancer sufferers over the years..You gotta treat each morning as GOLD.

I know how you feel.

Just announced it will be broadcast nationally twice this week, and the DVD will be on the shelves on Monday, with proceeds going to Reach

amazing.

glad the doco is going to be on again - i had doubts about seeing it on sunday - but will def get to see it on wed.

amazing person.

If you take anything from this, it's that there is no f'ing justice in the world.

This man, who has done so much good, helped thousands of kids and resurrected our footy club, is going to die well before his time, in terrible circumstances.

I hope and pray that he lives long enough to see us win a flag. He deserves that much, surely!

Mother of....

That was so hard to watch. How about Bailey giving it to the players in the huddle, bringing up Jimmy.

Is he going to go down as the best thing that's EVER happened to the club?

Amazingly, that's the thing that really got me.

Not sure what that means.

The snippet of the Bailey speech got me too. Somehow, it surprised me. Not sure why, maybe because Bailey has such a calm, composed persona when addressing the media. Anyway, I loved it!

Will be a very VERY emotional doco on Sunday.

My eyes also began watering during the snippet of Jimmy's doco. He has gone though so much. His family has gone through so much with him. They stick together. They are pulling through.

Stynesy is a serious inspiration and Sam Newman spoke well of him at the end of the interview.

On this note... The Footy Show (and Newman mentioned this) had their most inspirational and worthwhile show tonight out of the 17 years they've been airing. Phenomenal and well done to them.

Melbourne Footy Club is taking pre orders now. Order Now Extra 70 mins of footage on the DVD. All proceeds to Reach.

I understand what you're saying, but I reckon it's fair enough. The on-field side of things is what we relate to the most and the 22 is, in terms of hours spent, the biggest thing we have to relate to the club. (Besides designing clothing).

Also, for me, I know when all the Jimmy stuff was first making news, Bailey and the players were asked often if they mentioned it at team-meetings... They said they might have mentioned it but never dwelled on it. Basically gave the typical line.

Watching Bailey call on that in such a fiery way... we never get to see that. In fact we never get to see what he's like in team-meetings when he's not aware he's being filmed. It couldn't be more separate from his whiteboard wednesday video of the other day. That was a first in so many ways. I've always thought of Neale as the firebrand and one of the great inspirers. Lyon as well has this reputation. I feel like had we seen Dean do this in the past it may not have been so striking.

One other thing. It had an almost Eulogistic element to it (if that's a word). Sounded a lot like "this is it," when obviously it wasn't at the time.

I reckon it would be hard to be a demon fan (or any club's fan, come to that) and NOT shed a tear.

Good call. We finally saw what most of us have known all along. That Sam is a human being, and an intelligent one, who is playing a character, in a show that's prime topic is a GAME. A detail most people forget, most of the time. He was overwhelmed a couple of times there and his true colours showed through...

Certainly the finest moment I've seen on the show. And I've been a fan for years. And like you say DM, we've not been able to say it for a long time, but top marks Footy Show.

Can somebody please upload the relevant parts of the Footy Show to youtube at some stage or direct me to a link.

I am working tonight and would love to see it all.

+ 1. Good call on my good call. Team effort.

That just about sums it up. Well said.

I was shocked I had not seen him for a while and I guess it should not be a surprise.

But he looked terrible last night.

You would wonder how long he can go on!

Words fail me

The FS was on of the best ever last night. As Garry said it was a very different one. It was nice to see a different Shane Crawford and not the one that mucks around and is silly all the time. And of course Jimmy was just brilliant. As Sam said with your mind and attiude I think you will see a few more christmas's yet. Lets just hope this is the case. Even Sam seemed to get emotional when talking to shane and with Jimmy there.

I reckon that was the brisbane game where Dean Bailey said in the huddle Jim is watching because that was the first game we played after Jim was diagnosed.

Jimmy was on Kerri-Anne this morning with Jules Lund talking to Lavina Nixon. Didn't hear what was said, as I was at the airport and the sound was turned down. Obviously promoting the doco and dvd, as a graphic came up showing the broadcast times, and Lavinia was holding a copy of the dvd.

To be shown Sun and ? thnx
