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.

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.

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"

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
