The big fella would have celebrated a milestone today. He would have enjoyed the new exciting dees thats coming along.

He would also be proud of one Max Gawn who is doing his number very proud.

    A champion of the club as a player and then did some great work saving it from extinction when he took on the role of chairman in difficult times only to be taken from us and particularly his young family far too soon. 

    I feel like everyone already knows that, but I imagine there are some young Melbourne supporters now and in the future who will actually need to be taught how important Jim Stynes was for us as a club and football as a sport.

    Keeping kids aware of past events is a major part of what ANZAC Day is about; and although I know it's considered gauche to compare footy to the ANZACs in any way, I think that particular lesson is one that we should take into all aspects of our lives. History is important, and Jim Stynes is as important as anyone to the Melbourne Football Club's history.

    A mate of mine living in Dublin sent me this photo recently whilst on a random hike in the hills.

    He's a New Zealander so had no idea who Jim Stynes was, but he saw that the plaque on the stone mentioned him being an Aussie footballer so decided to take a photo and send to me

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
