Melbourne and the Football World mourn Jimmy Stynes

Featured Replies

Fighting back tears. Very, very sad news.

He's a huge loss, not just to the Melbourne Football Club, but to the community at large.

Rest in peace Jim, lost but never forgotten.

 
 

RIP Jimmy. Such a great bloke. Caring, genuine. Your inspirational messages will live on with so many people that you have touched over the years. I think of all the youth that you have helped achieve great things, the Melbourne faithful and of course, your friends and family.

I am a better person for having met you and shared some great conversations.

 

You will always live on in our hearts and minds Jim. Rest in Peace.

A sad moment for the game but what a legacy to leave behind.

All the best to his family both near and far.

He was a true testament to humanity and will be remembered always. R.I.P. Jimma..

What can one say? Absolutely shattered and can only imagine how those close to him must be feeling. If any positive can be taken out of this, it is the legacy he has left behind in his work with both our club and his Reach Foundation and the enduring memory of what a selfless person he was. Vale Jimmy!

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
