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.

    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!

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
