Great idea and a suitable way to honour the Great Man.

    I would have preferred it if they just named the Northern Stand after him instead of unveiling out another meaningless award. Let the guy R.I.P. with a suitable monument.

    I think this is a great initiative.

    Always tough to get the right combination of relevance and profile, but an award given on one of the biggest events on the AFL calendar, and specifically for an area in which Jimmy excelled off the field is a fitting way to remember the great man.

    A stand at the G would be great, but I reckon all parties have done a great job with this idea.

    Jimmy deserves also a constant reminder at the MCG...even if it is only for MFC home Games

    MFC members sit in the Jim Stynes Stand..as well as the fine award given yearly.

    I'd like for it to not be handed out every year. Only for when someone has consistently shown a real standout effort.

    And no, blogging doesn't count as community commitment, Harry O.

    I think the fact that Sam Stynes supports and endorses the initiative is enough. I am confident this will be handled and implemented in a manner befitting such a wonderful legacy.

    But wouldn't the naming of a stand be an MFC/MCC initiative? This award is an AFL initiative and, I think, a great and well deserved honour. (I'm sure the stand named in his honour is not far away).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
