So Jimmy had planned a final BBQ for his close mates & family, but the doctors have given him another shot. So the Barbie has been cancelled!

Keep Fighting mate. I hope all our list plays with your determination in 2012.

I heard Jimmy talking about it yesterday and it filled me with incredible sadness; what he has had to go through and what he faces is something that I can't even contemplate.

Yes. The mail i got a couple of months back must have been on the mark, but the Docs have given him one more Life. He is like a cat Jimma. Let us all hope like Hell he gets to see another Demon win at the 'G.

Not only that, but the way he goes about it is truly inspirational. His attitude throughout his illness has been unbelievable, especially considering the numerous setbacks he's had along the way. It's about time he had some good news.

totally agree.

I cant believe he is able to find the strength and time to be involved with the footy club, let alone be the president

words like inspirational, legend, great, role model etc get bandied around a little to much for my likeing, but Jim deserves every bit of recognition he gets.

A few years ago my sister managed to get me passes into the rooms for after the game (Round 14, 2008-- the one when we upset Brisbane by a point with the lead changing several times in the last quarter). All the players parents were in attendance, and also in the rooms after the game. I was talking to Matty Warnock (who could talk the legs off a table), when Jimmy came past and said hello. I talked to him for about ten minutes, and he was clearly genuinely interested in having a conversation with a fan, despite all the other more important people that were there that he could have been talking to. I saw him go around to several other fans and do the same thing. I found this to be a great gesture of kindness from Jimmy. It probably would have been much more interesting or productive for him to be speaking with other people in that room, but he made the time to go up to the supporters and engage them in conversation. That's the type of guy he is: caring, compassionate, thoughtful. He is truly one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.

What a true inspiration this man is, and thank God that the docs have given him an extra shot. Here's hoping that they can actually cure him, it may be a long shot, but if anyone deserves it, this great man does.

at his press conference yesterday, it felt like it was the first time that he admitted to the media that he truly thought he was on his last legs and that he was lost to this bloody monster. Sure, everyone is thinking the same thing and no doubt so is his family, that it's probably more likely than not that he will eventually succumb to it, but he refuses to lay down. Resilience personified.

Big Jim has enough heart to fill the MCG 10-times over. Everything that is right at the MFC, is because of Jim Stynes. Jim Stynes means more to the MFC and its supporters, than any other individual in the AFL currently, or for a long long time, perhaps even ever.

Jim Stynes is the MFC. He was, is and always will be.

Keep fighting Jim, you continue to, and always will inspire.

Two highlighted quotes that encompass everyone's opinion of Jimmy.

I have never met the man but in passing at the G but i sincerely love Jimmy.

I really feel for and think of his beautiful family at this time and hope they have but a fraction of his internal strength to help them get through this horrible situation.

As a man who usually keeps everything bottled up and likes to think he is a typical Aussie Bloke, i sincerely offer my love and best thoughts for Jim and his family...

As God is my witness (even if I'm a bit of an atheist) the Melbourne Football Club will honour this man as he has honoured us. He is 3 days younger than me and what he has gone/going through I could not contemplate!

Absolutely fantastic news. Hearing the word 'ecstatic' used in connection with Jimma's health is brilliant. Keep up the good work Jimma.

Agree... Jimmy transcends club boundaries and when there is a cheer at the MCG, it will be from all supporters of all teams.

Jimmy is the perfect example of life imitating art... nothing could stop him on the footy field, and now nothing can stop him living his life to the fullest.

I hope the players have some sort of Jimma "pact" next year, to play beyond expectations. Jimma must inspire them when he is seen or mentioned. Jimma deserves to see the MFC play finals, it's up to the players to deliver.

Regardless of what happens and when, Jim's presence be it physical or spiritual will permeate throughout the MCG when the Melbourne Football Club hold their next cup aloft.

God bless you Jimmy.

And watch all the seagull flogs hammer him for an autograph like last year when he came down the race. I dont mind seeing kids hound him, but seriously, people need to get a clue.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
