"A Tribute to Jim Stynes".... GEM Chanel 90 tonight at 10.40pm for those who haven't seen it

    As with many pubs in this land, my local has a Friday night meat raffle, which I always enter, as the proceeds go to the Royal Childrens' Hospital. I don't often win. I am one of those guys that watches people win, time and time again. We all have those friends or acquaintances who just seem to be blessed. To use the idiom, I cant even win a kick in a street fight - thankfully.

    As with every week, the ticket seller asks me what number ticket I would like to have. I always think it doesn't matter, because if it's your time to win, then it just will happen. But last Friday night and given the events of the past week, when I was asked what number I wanted, I just had to choose that wonderful number 11. Sure enough, at 8:00 pm, the draw happens and I won first prize. Like I said, I don't consider myself a lucky person - quite the opposite in fact - but somehow, I had this sense I would win. And so it was.

    Last night we had a BBQ at home. People who barracked for Pies, Blues, Tigers and one very - and still bitter - stalwart of Fitzroy all spoke with such affection for Jimma. Even those who attended who actually hate footy - can you believe it - spoke with such emotion about our Jim.

    It was a great night and again, I was proud to be a Dees supporter.

    My win was really insignificant in reality, but then I thought Jim saw the best of things in the least of things.

    Go well Jim. I love ya mate and always will.

    Just saw this on Foxtel IQ... Wow... Take a good look at his face. He doesn't flinch. Well done Garry, you could see his hands shaking at one point. It doesn't get much more touching than that.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
