"As everyone knows, Jim was a credit to himself and the Melbourne Football Club as well as the community, particularly through the wonderful work he did with the Reach foundation and young people.”
"There’s no doubt whatsoever that Jim leaves an excellent legacy perhaps best personified by his determination and courage for his battle over the last years of his life — but before then his commitment, dedication and fighting spirit to play 244 consecutive AFL games which remains league record.
"Jim’s commitment to the Melbourne Football Club cannot be questioned, firstly as a great player then when the Melbourne Football Club faced some recent challenges, to put his hand up to be president of the Club.
"The Jim Stynes story is an inspiring story that each and every one of us can learn from.”
