These are some of the best words I've read in a very long time: "doctors say, Stynes is winning his remarkable battle for life".

    On a side note, the Herald Sun need a new editor. Stynes wining remarkable battle for life.

    Would have thought they could spell "winning" correctly, hell Charlie Sheen seems to mention it a bit.

    Good on ya jim.were behind you all the way mate!

    I am really, really happy that Jimma is now tumour free, but it's a battle for the rest of his life, not just his life itself.

    I salute the big man for the way he has dedicated himself to others while fighting his own battle so publically, and wish him nothing but love and (fingers crossed) clear scans with no more tumours going forwards. Getting an all-clear for now is one massive hurdle down.

    Fight on mate. We're here with you too.

    Hey, it wasn't all good news... I notice that the specialist said Jimmy wouldn't be up and dancing with Olivia Newton John anytime soon. Hang on...

    If the boys show 5% of Jimmy's courage and determination tonight then the game is a foregone conclusion.Essendon might as well not show up!

    Took the words right out of my mouth, he continues to be an inspiration. The boys could definitely take a lot from his fighting spirit.

    What an absolute inspiration he is, even for those who don't love footy. Anyone I speak to who has even heard of him comments on the courage and determination he has shown through his fight. He shows all of us a better way to be, and the world is better for it. Keep fighting champ.

    I'm wondering if he'll be there tonight to present Gawn no.37, Jimmy's first jumper...?

    Great news.

    Hope to see him and his family enjoying a Dees win soon.

    An inspiration to all footy followers.

    It should be made mandatory in all dictionaries and encyclopaedias to have a picture of Jim Stynes next to the word ... "Courage".

  • Quote

    Good to hear he has at least some vision - it must have been scary to go into the operation knowing that you could come out of it without the ability to see.

    According to Max he did it before the op.

    Or better yet, when a firefighter risks his life rescuing 42 people and a cat from a burning building, he will be said to have "pulled a Stynesy."

    Haha like it. In fact just go one step further and remove the word courage from the dictionary and hereby label that particular quality "Stynes".

    ie. Nadal showed immense Stynes there coming back from two sets down.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
