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.

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

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!


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

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.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
