What a bloody champion, what he has done for our club.

All the best, Jim.

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

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

 

[HARKER]

I hope you guys don't mind, but I think I can safely call on behalf of all of us Carlton supporters, just how admirable your president was as a president, a player and still is as a human being.

Good luck to the incumbent pres, but boy has he some big shoes to fill.

Hats off to Jim Stynes.

Is there a more universaly liked man in football, let alone a more respected club President?

The man has left an enormous and indelible impact on the history of the club and football as a whole.

Came in here to sing my praises for the legend. But this pretty much says it all.

Your lucky to have such an amazing person involved in your club.

Wishing him all the best with his fight, if there is anyone who can beat it, its Jim!

I'm sure it's just a timing thing - AGM, before the season started - Perfect timing TBH

Like I said he can consentrate on getting better thats the main thing right?

 

[E Shed]

Respect.

I absolutely hope so

I was gutted watching the half arsed efforts last year, when a man like this who is so inspirational was right in their face

I hope they start to show some of the fight and desire Jimmy does

He has done amazing things stabilising the club

 

[Turbocat]

Im sure everyone from the Geelong board would like to wish the great man all the best. Has given his all and although he is a Melb personality , he has become an AFL personality as well. Jimmy represents all thats great in our game. True Australian Legend.

 

[stretcharmstrong]

Thanks for everything Jim. Get well!

A very courages person who gave so much despite his health problems. He symbolises what a true demon supporter should embody. No excuses just passion.

 

[Drazsyker]

Thanks for all the hard work Jim, best of luck with the fight and life!

 

[Tulip]

Not hearing much at all, anybody know Jim's deal. His fate seemed sealed but his new treatment seems to be keeping him with us. Any news? Been 3 weeks since he stepped down.

 

[Logger]

Was at the intra-club thingo according to the live coverage. Warmed the cockles to hear that.

 

[Erek Shun]

Important in getting us back on track. I think McLardy has been the de facto Prez for a fair while.

Time for Jim to direct all his energies to his health and family.

Hey guys, not trolling, was just wondering if anyone knows how Jimmy is travelling at the moment?

Was wondering the same thing and have been looking for any info but have come up empty handed. Surely the Melbournefc website would have something up if there was any word.

I think they are just trying to give him his privacy. Having his condition constantly reported on and being asked how he's feeling in every interview was getting too draining on him. He's retreated from the public for the time being - whether it's to try and put in a last ditch effort to survive or to try to enjoy what time he has left with his family, we won't know for a while. I wouldn't expect any more updates from the MFC unless he's experiencing remission or he's got a short time to live. Til then, we can only hope for a miracle.

 

[Viney]

The news I have heard is that it really isn't looking good

I'm saying this as fact - I would never, ever, ever make something like this up about such a great man (or anyone for that fact)

Family is hoping he'll get to see round 1

 

[Devastating Boris]

Maybe he's gone fishing with wonna?

Fingers crossed.

I've heard the same from a very reliable source. Shattering stuff.

 

[roostersgal4eva]

I guess we had the same source last time so I'm hoping for the best

Doesn't sound good
