From the HUN...

"JIM Stynes's legacy and love for Melbourne will be honoured as the centrepiece of the city's newest social and community hub.

A walkway celebrating Stynes's life will wind over the Yarra at the redeveloped Northbank promenade to link the city centre and Docklands through the creation of the Jim Stynes Bridge."

    A fitting tribute to a inspirational yet humble man. We could all do worse than walk a while in his path.

    Great tribute. An honour well earned.

    Very well said B59.

    You and I could walk it when we head to the pub and have that beer that you owe me! :P

    Forgive me for possibly sounding rude, I'm not detracting for the naming of the bridge just questioning the reasoning behind it.

    I feel in a rush to label something after the great man, we may have now taken away the ability for something to be named after him abit more appropriate to Jim. Not to suggest the MCG wing should be named the Stynes wing but I have never been an enormous advocate of naming a running bridge in the middle of the Docklands after a passionate ruthless footballer who plied his trade in the beautiful Richmond. Because of his excellent and mindblowing work in the community, it's brilliant to see everyone wanting to accredit him with a landmark (an honour which knowing Jim he would feel embarrassed about), just personally would have preferred we let a few years go by and find something that suits him. In 5 years when we upgrade our facilities the Jim Stynes Center...

    I do not feel like being berated for disrespecting Jim so save your tantrums, I am super glad his legend will be living on, just think there may have been something that summed him up a little better than a walking path.

    You assume such honouring will be limited to this ?? Maybe, probably not.

    I have no doubt the MFC will award suitable acknowledgemnts where ever appropriate and able.

    I'd prefer us to name our thirteenth Premiership cup after him.

    The Bridge is not an MFC honor. It it a Victorian honor. I am certain the MFC will give Jim many accolades. He did save the place. But even non demon persons dig the Big Jimma.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      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.
