unless already mentioned, idea from a non melb board, renaming the great southern stand, the JIM STYNES stand. Also a statue of Jimmy outside the G would be a appropriate memorial..
I have not posted my thoughts on Jimmys passing. Thought I led the shock wear off a bit. When Jimmys illness was announced and secondaries were mentioned I knew what result was going to be , it was just a matter of time. I had just seen my father go thru being struck down and passing away from cancer. So I had a fair idea about the traditional treatment etc. I guess Jim's durability on the field led to his durability in trying to beat cancer. I am "glad" he was in no pain when he passed away. Palitive care which I wish no one to come in contact with is a very dignified way to deal with the end of a persons life.
My heart goes out to Sam, their children, extended family, friends, MFC , Reach and anyone else who was touched by Jimmy.
(In 2008 I went to one game and stuck it out to the end...the freo game:) ) Apologies for my nick, was not expecting to post on such a thread
