Stynes steps down as MFC President.

If those sources are viable - then that is truly shattering news for all.

I just hope the next thing I hear about jimmy is that somehow he's hit remission, and he'll get to see the demons win that flag.

 

[Viney]

Let me just say, unfortunately, my source is 100% viable

It is a family member of his

 

[SuburbanMe]

yeah - that's not good.

Well I for one hope that he realises how loved his is by the australian football community

 

[Bodicifer]

Not what I wanted to hear. I just hope for a miracle for the great man.

I am devastated. Next thrusday is my mums 2 year memorial.she had met Jim numerous times over the years.
Im not sure how i will cope if this happens next thursday......

 

[Tulip]

I don't know how to react.

Proud either way

As I mentioned in the game day thread, I saw Jimmy in the player's race at half time last night. He had his MFC kit on and was with his wife and Cameron Schwab. He looked frail, but gave the players some words of encouragement as they went into the rooms at the break. Jimmy still continues to live, and fight. Inspirational.

Nothings changed then, Jim is a hero and the Dees let him down.

Hope we can do better for him in Round 1.

not to drag it off topic - and some will disagree - but we fought out the game, we were just completely outclassed

Great to see Jimmy there

 

[Samsara]

Hope the next news we hear is positive.

 

[King Elvis]

Just mentioned his health on On The Couch, didn't sound positive at all - 'gravely ill... Our thoughts are with him and his family.'

 

[Sunny_]

Yeah, Mike asked Andy D about it, hearing that he was gravely ill.

Andrew paused and just said that our thoughts should be with he and the family.

 

[maxmustard]

Just saw it, really doesn't sound good.

 

[Jordie_tackles]

Thoughts and best wishes are with Jim and his family right now

 

[Blue and Gold Blood]

Good luck to him. Hope him stepping down doesn't mean something more serious.

Looks as though your suspicions proved right Just hope his last 5 or so weeks didnt cause too much physical pain.
