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".

 

Jimmy, you are simply an extraordinary human being.


A TRUE CHAMPION with the WILL TO SHOW US ALL the way. God bless ya jimma.

Frigging legend in every way.

An amazing man...keep goin Jimmy

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...

Is it out of line to say that [edit: yes, it is.]

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".


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."

Keep on punching Jimma. Hopefully that's the last of the little bastards outta there mate.

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: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
