On a Channel 9 newsbreak a few minutes ago - they said that Jim Stynes will be stepping tomorrow as Melbourne President due to illness. More news as it comes to hand...

It is a shame I think he was doing a good job and the club was back on the right track. On field they may be a little behind, but they were going to get there I think. I hope Jim is ok! He is a true gentleman.

Doesn't sound good. Can't really see him walking away from something I think he thoroughly enjoys unless it is for a very serious reason.

The Hun says he's facing surgery later this week... A HUGE loss for Melbourne.

REVEALED: MELBOURNE Football Club president Jim Stynes is expected to step down to fight a health problem.

Stynes, 43, is believed to have told board members, senior staff and friends of his plans tonight.

A media conference is expected this morning.

The 1991 Brownlow medallist and former ruck great is understood to face surgery later this week.

He was unavailable for comment tonight.

The Irishman, who came to Australia in the mid-1980s and played 264 games with the Demons, is married with young children.

Stynes is in his second season as president after replacing Paul Gardner mid-season last year.

He represents one of the most inspiring stories in the game, playing a record 244 games in a row from 1987-98. He has been described as "Australia's most successful sporting experiment''.

Stynes was inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame in 2003 and Melbourne's Hall of Fame in 2006. He was named Victorian of the Year in 2001 and 2003 for his work with the Reach Foundation, a group committed to helping youth.

Since taking over the presidency he has preached persistence and optimism, with the promise of ultimate success for players and fans.

Earlier this year, he sat with the cheer squad behind the goals at the MCG during a Melbourne game.


--------------------
Is a premiership to the Bombers, the Storm, the Spurs, the Suns, the Victory, the Cowboys, the Brumbies and the Melbourne Tigers all in the one season asking too much?

I hope not, but this sort of thing usually means something nasty anyways.

Get well Jimmy.

2008: Hurley, Swift, Gaetner, Ballantyne and Batsanis - momentum starts here!

I keep Batsanis in there since I figure having seen one of them play one game makes me an expert compared to 85% of posters!
