Jim Stynes to step down as Melbourne president at tonight's AGM...

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 Football Club, and all of it's supporters are FOREVER indebted to him, and long after he passes (in hopefully many decades time), he will be remembered as the most influential person in the history of this club. He has done more for this club, than anyone ever has... and all the while, he has been battling his own problems.

Words can't really describe this person... he is simply phenomenal. That's all I can really say. Thanks and keep fighting mate!

Jimma- you are a legend.Both on and off the field. When we win the next premiership -you should be the first to handle the cup or present it to our captain and coach.We owe that to you.You are the savior to our MFC.

Best wishes to your health recovery..

Well stated.


Thank you Jim.

As far as I am concerned he is still the man. Perhaps not in title but definetly in spirit.

Epic bloke.

Thanks and all the best big fella.

This club can only do one thing to repay your efforts. I truly hope you're still with us to witness it.

Carn Dee's!

 

Slainte Jimma,

May the road rise up to meet your feet;

May the wind be always gentle at your back

and the sun shine warm upon your face.

May the welcome rains fall softly upon your fields

And, until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of his hand.


Thanks for everything Jimmy. You're a legend to us all and a great human being. Time to focus on yourself now.

Thankyou Jimmy, You step down with your head held High, and Dignity shining.

For all you have done i and others shall be eternally grateful. The MFC will get stronger because of you. The vision & energy you rejuvenated along with a board who agreed to get dirty and help.

You are the Number one Demon going forward Jimmy who will inspire this club to both greatness and dominance again. 13.14.15.16......

Rest up Big Fella & enjoy each day. We will all look forward to seeing you in the Cheer Squad again.

The MFC is one hell of a big family...which you will always be so much a part of...The Melbourne Demons Love you Jim Stynes.

Thanks....M.

A job very,very,very well done Jim.

Now..........please mate, just get well.

Thank you Jimmy , you serve as an inspiration to all of us . You're a wonderful man and have done so much for our Club .

I hope so much that you can beat this illness . Enjoy your time with your family now and keep fighting .

President forever, even if it's just an honourary position.

Jim, you're a star. And you saved our club. Anything more is purely words, and words don't help - the ability to relax and move away from the club, to be with your kids and Sam and to fight this thing are far, far more important than some football club (despite what many of us think!)

Get better mate. And I'm sure if you do the board will welcome you back with open arms if you so desire.

Could see this coming from a long way off, but still lived in hope that it wouldn't all the same. Thanks Jim - your debt demolition effort will go down as one of the most important events in the history of the club, and nobody else could've pulled it off. You've united a fractured club. You did all this while your health hit the rocks completely. One of my earliest favourite players as a young kid in the late 80s, early 90s, turned in to a President whom we'll never see the likes of again (IMO).

Not afraid to admit I have a tear in my eye. Please get well.

Your ability to show strength in times of immense personal adversity is a life lesson for everyone who loves Melbourne.

You epitomise every aspect of the word hero and it is not a word of a lie when it is said that you saved this club.

Your ability to re-unite and direct everyone's focus in the same direction is immense.

We all love you Jimma.

Keep fighting.

Im even more hopeful knowing our Jim is under going another op. It means two things

Buying more time

Or

There maybe hope for a full recovery with the new meds.

I hope like hell its the former!!


What everyone else said, good luck Jim and thank you.

All of us on here have different ideas, and at times it can get heated and sometimes quite nasty. But we are ALL UNITED when the words Jim Stynes are spoken. I have shed tears today. But Jim you are still here and may that continue. This club must become stronger with you as the inspiration & accept nothing less.

GO DEE'S 2012. September bound.

 

Headline should read "Could he have done any more?"

  • 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.

    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.
