    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.

    All the Best Jimmy...

    We are all with you as we have been for this difficult period in your life.

    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.

    Jim...you have an adoring wife and loving kids. Time to leave Melbourne to its fate and comsider your own health and family.

    Thanks mate, but time to look after yourselves !!

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
