Club Legend
Rest in peace, Jim Stynes. A humble and courageous man who gave far more than anyone could have ever asked, both to sport and charity, and singled-handedly saved the Melbourne Football Club.
Whatever successes they have from now are his and his alone, and I hope his family and friends take solace in the fact that he now has the best seat in the house to watch them.
Was listening to Eddie McGuire on the radio this afternoon, who said something quite prudent - cancer didn't beat Jim, Jim beat cancer. It's true. He lived two years longer than expected, but more impressive than that is that he lived those two years. He refused to be bedridden, to seek pity, to let the illness dictate how he lived his life. To have achieved as much as he did, fighting how he was, is simply incredible, and puts a lot of things in perspective.
Thoughts and prayers are with Sam, Tiernan, Matisse, his friends and the MFC.
