And I think I speak for all when I wish Jim all the best and hope to see him in the crowd enjoying the Demons at our games during 2011.

I'm sure you do Jack!

I'm a proud Irishman living in this wonderful country i now call home. Jimmy makes me feel even more proud to be Irish, and a Demon, but i honestly feel that Jimmy is as much Australias as he is ours. he is an inspiration to me, my country, Australians, football fans and anyone who battles against or has been affected by ths terrible disease cancer.

Jimmy, stand tall, stand firm. We are all behind u.

You'll Never Walk Alone

The man is a walking Legend. If anyone ever deserved a bronze statue, it is Jim Stynes!

Indeed WJ. Would be great to see he and his family enjoying the footy and seeing the Demons team perform.

Also saw this last week. Enjoyed it. Christian Bale I thought did a superb job in this flick. Worth catching.

He has touched many tarzan16. And he will continue to do so in his fight.

Christian Bale might need to grow a bit, but I reckon he's one of the few that could do Jimma justice in a film.

just cast only diminutive actors for all the other parts!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
