Thanks Green Demon, just Beautiful.

I spread my Mothers, & later, Fathers ashes in the Botanical Gardens.

I hope everyone is coping well, & wish all the Stynes clan the Best of Health

Thanks GD. Ironic for me, having finished Jim's book tonight. I also thought Sam's interview on RTE might be worth listen so here's the link for anyone who's interested. Starts a few minutes in http://www.rte.ie/ra...502:11-09-2012:

If something like that was going to happen to anyone you know, it had to be to our man "Big Jim"

Just Love it.

I love the fact that despite all the problems they encountered during the service it was the humour that they all saw. Thanks GD a lovely piece

 

The Dude abides.

I don't know about you, but I take comfort in that.

I chuckled. Good stuff.

Says it all really. A hero to many of us, but to Jimmy, just an ordinary bloke. Dunno why I wrote that, but I know exactly what I mean.

Prior to immigrating to Australai with my family and in the early to mid 90's as an adult I lived on the foot of the Dublin/Wicklow mountains in Tallaght, which is west of Rathfarnam where the great man hails from. I used to spend a lot of time running in the mountains and Sally Gap is a beautiful place and I can understand why Jimmy wished for his ashes to be scattered there.

I am heading back next year for a wedding and shall take my kids to Sally Gap to pay my respects to the great man.

R.I.P Jim we (the Dees) will make you proud one day

I work with 5 Irish lads on 457 visas. I've bribed them into supporting the Dee's by buying each of them a MFC gurnsey and telling them about Jimmy. I emailed the club and they've agreed to put Jim's #11 on the back of each of them free of charge.

God knows WA doesnt need any more Eagles or Dockers supporters!

I don't mind Dockers supporters, but the other mob, I am an Irish Catholic who follows Celtic and I can honestly say I hate Meth Coast more than I hate Rangers.

Just finished the book and now understand the significance of this article.

Thanks so much for posting.

I reflect that I knew Jim was suffering but like so many assumed he would be ok and let him continue his involvement at the club. To be fair Garry Lyon was right....he should have stepped in earlier for Jim.

What an outstanding person Jim was and so honest with himself. Hard to believe Tom had the audacity to lie when he could have just been upfront. Says a lot about Tom as a person actually, he has a long journey ahead of him.

Rest in peace now big Jimma.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
