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.

None of us would have blamed Jim if he stepped down as soon as he was diagnosed, however, he soldiered on and never gave up on us and rebuilt this club when it was at it's knees. The Melbourne Footb

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
