At the moment I have but one wish, Jimmy gets better.

    The language in The Age is quite disturbing. Our prayers are with him.

    Heartbreaking news. Keep fighting Jim, you don't deserve this. It makes the stuff at the footy club seem so insignificant.

    Get well Jim, an inspirational man on and off the football field. Through the darkest times in recent years, you have been a beacon of hope. Your commitment to this club through a time of personal hardship has been unheralded. Your fighting spirit embodies everything this club can only hope to be in the future; a future that would have been all but impossible without you.

    Focus on getting yourself well Jim. You have gone far beyond what anybody could have asked.

    Well its been a crap week at the footy club and now this just makes it worse. Jim seriously I know the club gives you something to focus on and take your mind of your battle but you dont need this stress. Its a shame the players dont play with the same fight and courage you do.

    Hopefully this one can be removed and at least it isnt another tumour on the brain. Thoughts are with you and your family.

    Absolutely heartbreaking news today. I guess we all know the direction this horrible story is taking, but don't want to see the truth. All of us, our thoughts and our prayers are with you big man. Be selfish for once in your life and look after yourself and your family first.

    Our prayers, hopes and wishes are with you and your family Jimmy. Take care of yourself and let the rest look after itself. The world needs you to get well!

    Terrible, terrible news.

    Poor Bugger he is a true battler hyopefully the club can get up for him this weekend.

    it's just a football club. it's survived highs and lows for more than 150 years. it's time to look after yourself and your family, and not worry about, in the grand scheme of things, trivial s#it like this week.

    I am so sad about this.

    I hope those inside the MFC take a good hard look at the last few months....It sure hasn't helped Jimmy in his fight

    Now grow up the lot of you, and function like a Club...Give Stynesy some energy FFS.

    Don't let last monday be the last time Jimmy was seen.

    What a week!!!

    Could not agree more.

    Makes me sick to the core.

    I know it's (footy) is only a game, but as a Melbourne supporter this has been one helluva week, for all the wrong reasons...

    Big Jim has put so much time, effort, energy and emotion into the MFC. If there's one thing that will put a smile on his face at the moment, it's the players coming out on the w/e and making a serious statement. How they go about it, I really don't care, so long as the 'footy world' is left stunned.

    My thoughts are with Jimmy and his family.

    Spot on...........the bickering and infighting that has been going on while poor old Jimmy fights for his life is deplorable.

    Keep fighting Jim!

  • Quote

    Gotta wonder (and the point has been made by journos too before you call me a cold bastard) whether the footy club is literally killing him. The stress, especially of last weekend...

  • Quote

    This really puts life & all things into perspective. He has been through so much & more is still to come. Get well Jim, the club needs to sort itself out for your sake if anything. Have a hard look at yourselves MFC!

    Jimmy,

    You are, and will always be an absolute legend of our club. It is absolutely inspirational stuff that you continue to fight for our club, whilst continually battling for your own life. Impossible to describe how great you truly are.

    For no-one else but yourself and your family, we hope to see you back on top again soon.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
