Jimmy Stynes: 4 years have passed

Sir Why You Little

Is painful to think about now as a lot of Jim's battle was so public. 

'My Journey' was the second (it may be number one now) most gut wrenching book I have ever read. Knowing that Jimmy was let down by many and hearing of his emotional and physical suffering nearly left me in tears.

    I would like to think he is looking down with a big smile at the current works in progress at our beloved Demons.

    I ran over the Jim Stynes bridge during the Run 4 the Kids 16km event this morning. I touched the plaque as I passed it as a sign of respect. I had no idea it was 4 years today when I did that. 

    HE knew mate ;)

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
