Quick - get the fire extinguisher for TimD's stake.

    Best of luck with the ongoing health battles big Jim, time to put yourself ahead of the club.

    Can totally understand this decision, but definitely feel like we'll need an injection of heart and soulf from somewhere...

    Sensational! All the best Jimma.

    Thankyou for your huge hearted efforts rebuilding & reorganising this club.

    We shaw needed you.

    And now we need you to get well. We want you to witness our successes.

    Thanks Jimmy and all the best.

    The Heart and Soul has to start coming from our onfield performances rather than an off field person. We have enough good people around the club off field, it is up to our footy department to drive this club forward.

    Thank you for saving my club Jim. All our thoughts and prayers are with you as you beat this sickness.

    Well done Jim. A sensible decision and all the best for the future.

    Thanks for what you have contributed to MFC over the years

    Whatever is best for Jim is all that really counts.

    We've run out of superlatives to describe this great man and what he has achieved for our club.

    Definietly time to put his own health ahead of the club. It is now time for the club to repay the tremendous amount of time, energy, and passion Jim has given the club, particularly considering the battles he has had to take on.

    There's a fundamental difference between Jimmy standing down voluntarily and what TimD originally suggested. He also modified his position after reflecting on it.

    No need for extinguishers - just congratulations to the bloke who inspires us all and did save the club with the help of many generous supporters.

    It's doubtful words could express the gratitude I, and I assume most of us, feel towards Sir Jim for what he's done for this Club.

    All the best Jimma, just get better.

  • Quote

    Certainly an individual who the MFC owe so much to for putting his time and efforts in re-generating our once vibrant and successful club!

    Let's hope he gets to see and enjoy the fruits of his labour!

    Good luck Jimma! Hope to see him at the G plenty this season!

    Gippy

    Good on you Jimmy, you remain one of the greats of this football club. Thanks.

    What a great man, because of Jim we can still head to the MCG every week and watch the Dees.

    Massive thanks!

  • Quote

    Thank you Jim, words just don't do any justice. You are a true inspiration, get better soon.

  • Quote

    A terribly sad way for him to finish his official role at the club, but he will always be a part of the MFC. What he has done for us since the minute he pulled on a red and blue jumper, until now, will never be forgotten or replicated.

    I wish him all the very best in his recovery efforts!

    true champion

    Thanks Jimmy, words are not enough to express our gratitude.

    Place won't be the same without you big legend! Really sad he won't be heading us up next year, but his health is far more important!! Get well Jimmy, keep fighting!

    As many have written, without Jim's strength, beleif and determination, we wouldn't be supporting the Melbourne Football Club as we know it. And it's becuase of these qualities that has ensured he celebrated another festive season with his family, and I hope there are many more.

    While Jim was instrumental in ensuring the survival of this Club, he formed a quality group of indians of which I'm sure our next chief will continue on from where Jimmy left.

    A lot of football clubs of all levels still have the "Most Courageous Award", surely we will have the Jim Stynes Award for such a title at the Club. It's an award EVERY player should strive to have their name engraved on. I know there is the Jim Stynes medal, but Jimmy is the Melbourne Football Club, and always will be.

    Can't really put into words Jim how much it means to me that you grabbed the club by the scruff of the neck and played the most pivotal role in getting us to where we are today. I thank you for giving me a club that my children and hopefully grandchildren can follow.

    You have done all you can for the club and now it's your time to look after yourself and the family, but Jimmy I want to see you wearing red and blue at the G in Round 1.

    Again from one Irishman to another Thank you

    I can add nothing to that billy

    you have said it all.

    We may well be the GWS demons without him.

    You've done what you can for the club, now it's up to the rest of us. Thank you for everything you have done, take care and enjoy your time with your family.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
