Would seem the end could be near...... I hope Jimmy can find the streagth to go another round.

Simply terrible

Lets hope not.

He's quite a man old Jim. But i wouldn't write him off just yet. As we all know, Jim's one hell of a fighter, and although he's been through the mill umpteen times already, there's still some fightin' left in him yet i reckon.

But yeh....i'd prefer to see him focus on what's important right now and conserve all his energy until he's totally overcome this bloody cursed thing.

I think a very long holiday in the tropics afterwards with family would also do him good.

Thanks for everything you've done for us so far mate! Amazing, inspirational stuff!

Go get em Jimma!!

Absolutely devastating news. In the real scheme of things my greatest wish as a Melbourne fan is to see big Jim get better and continue to do great work for our club for many years to come. He is truly an inspiration and the MFC will never be doomed when we have guys of his calibre around the place. Get well Jimmy

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

I realise Jim has yet another huge fight on his hands. And we have to respect what him and family decide on from here re commitments and his health situation of course.

But, i'd also hate for Jim to be going into this battle, however long this one takes, thinking that he had to step out (for now), on such a low ebb in the club's long history. It was in no way his fault and i think we'd all love to thank him for his efforts so far and show him our support and hopefully give him a bit of a boost.

Just wondering if someone close to the club (one of the Mods or someone on here) might be able to speak to someone and consider arranging a big "thank you/honor" day for Jimma and family to help them through this tough period??

Would have to be the Richmond or Gold Coast game obviously. I'd prefer Richmond as the crowd would be huge and a much more appreciative/appropriate atmosphere for such an occasion.

Just putting it out there.

Anyone?

P.S. As an aside, this could also become a decent fund raiser if Jim wanted. He can choose the recipient...Reach or Cancer Foundation etc.

May the legend live on and you now be a champion for your family and enjoy the good times with them. Absolute inspiration before & during this battle

This is devastating to hear, I was really concerned when I saw his presser on Monday and this triples it. Please take it easy Jimmy, you've given us so much strength lately, leave some for yourself and focus on what's important.

Thoughts and all the best wishes are with you.

Jimma - hang in there. We all will try to pitch in ... won't let ya down.

Every game should be a thank you game for Jim.

Good luck champ.

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!!!

Those images of poor Jim fronting the media all due to the BS that has been brewing all year were extremely difficult to watch! I was taken aback by how ill he looked. You have done everything you possibly can for your club Jim and we love you for it mate. Time to rest Jimmy, and all our wishes are with you. You do not deserve the heartache our club has burdened you with......sort it out Garry please!!

Jimmy my thoughts are with you, Sam and the kids. For their sake take the step back and enjoy your time with them. Your work with the Dees is done, I can not put into words what you have done for me or this club. I had two infant sons when you took over the club and thought there would be no club for them to follow as they grew up. You have without doubt inspired, drawn people together and given us hope.

To everyone at Demonland, or anyone who involved in anyway with the club, if we don't take inspiration from this man we are a disgrace. What has come to light over the last week sickens me to the core but as we have seen Jimmy's first thoughts are with the club and apologising that he hasn't done enough. He want's to sort the mess out before sorting himself out.

I don't care about Scully, the board in fighting or the players not getting on with admin, board members etc. Lets hope Jimmy recovers but everyone of us owe it to this man and his family. We must continue the fight as jimmy would, forget our differences and move forward. We must all give Jimmy something to be proud of. If we can't do that than I feel very sorry for this club.

Jimmy take care brother, worry about Sam and the kids don't worry about the Dees with your inspiration "Tiocfadh Ar Lor"

You have covered it beautifully

Such horribe news (again).....

Our hearts & minds & souls & everything else we have goes to wishing Jim the best.

Jimmy you are a great warrior, keep fighting mate! Your resilience in your playing career and your life battle is truly inspirational. If those blokes on the field could harness the strength you produce in one day it would power all of them for the next 5 years and multiple premierships.

Lets all get to the game on Saturday and get a smile back on Big Jims face!

Go Dees!

We love you Big Fella and we're priviledged to have you represent our club. From the moment you pulled on the red and blue, you've inspired us with your determination, courage, desire and relentless pursuit of excellence. But most of all we are inspired by the the man that you are. You set an extraordinary example for all of us to follow. As always, we're barracking for you, mate.

If I had the power I would happily give up the premiership I so want to see, just to see Jimmy get better.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
