	Jim Stynes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stynes' first contact with Australian Rules came in 1984 when he answered an ad in a local paper from the Melbourne Football Club seeking talented Gaelic footballers as possible recruits.
		Stynes suitably impressed Melbourne officials and he was brought to Australia to undergo a crash course in Australian Rules before making his debut for the Melbourne underage team in 1985.
		The Australian Rules International Trophy is named the Jim Stynes Cup in his honour while the Jim Stynes Medal is awarded by the AFL to the best Australian player in the International Rules series.

	Jim Stynes
		Jim Stynes gained a reputation as one of the greatest Australian Rules Football players of all time, which was particularly commendable, considering he did not play his first game of Australian Rules until he was eighteen.
		Stynes was born in Dublin, Ireland on 23 April 1966 and played Gaelic Football as a boy, a sport with some similarities to Australian Rules.
		Following retirement, Stynes published his autobiography; "Jim Stynes: Whatever It Takes" and assumed the role of an anti-racism officer within the AFL, a cause close to his heart due to his declared astonishment at the level of racial abuse he (and players of non-Anglo background) had experienced throughout his career.

		It’s claimed that the incident was defused following the intervention of Jim Stynes, assistant coach to the Australian senior team and experienced as an education officer on racial affairs with the AFL.
		Stynes himself was the victim of a racial taunt during his distinguished playing career which reportedly led to him citing the offending player.
		Jim Stynes told us that we should apologise, that it was in the best interests of everybody to do so - so we did.

		This determination and resolve was much needed during Stynes' first couple of years in Australia when he failed to develop as quickly as he would have liked, and found himself being farmed out to VFA side Prahran for a time in 1986.
		Such was the extent of Stynes' adaptability and mobility, however, that he in effect provided the Demons with the benefits of two players in one - a powerful, high leaping ruckman, and an all action 'ball magnet' of a ruck-rover.
		The crowning achievement of Stynes' illustrious playing career came in 1991 when he won the Brownlow Medal, but there were numerous other high points.

		IT WAS difficult to determine what was causing Jim Stynes the most anguish yesterday - a hangover or his retirement from AFL football.
		Stynes blamed too much alcohol, too little sleep and a lengthy karaoke session for his condition at a press conference yesterday.
		When asked if he had been considering retirement for some time, Stynes, who has won Melbourne's best and fairest award four times and holds the record for playing the most consecutive AFL games - 244 between Round 16 in 1987 to Round four in 1998 - said it was like moving to Australia.

		JIM STYNES has made an astonishing defence of Chris Johnson's horror tackle on Philip Jordan, claiming it was not a sending-off offence.
		And Stynes also dismissed claims that the violence which marred the Melbourne showdown was premediated by the Australians, claiming they were only responding to provocation by the Irish players.
		Despite Stynes' defence of his tackle, Johnson was in a contrite mood yesterday and accepted that he would be banned for next year's series.

		Ruckman Jim Stynes seemed to be the only durable performer at the club as he achieved the feat of playing more than 200 consecutive games.
		Stynes and Lyon were the stars but they received tremendous support from skipper Healy who answered his critics with some great tackling, smothering and persistence.
		Stynes and Jakovich continued their form as Melbourne withstood a resolute St. Kilda fight back to win by a point at Moorabbin but the Demons still had a lot of work to do as they were sitting in seventh position.

		Jim Stynes then decides to contribute to the taking of the Mick Martyn piss by marking over him in the forward line and goaling to break the scoring dominance of Jakovich.
		Drew is so enraptured with Jim Stynes that he declares it “another three vote game”; five minutes into the third quarter before qualifying it with “unless Jakovich kicks 18 or something”.

		Stynes finally found a real home last July, when McKeon suggested to Reds general manager Jim Bowden that he ask the Royals for Stynes as a throw-in on a trade that sent righthander Hector Carrasco to Kansas City for outfielder Jon Nunnally.

		Strong overhead, he was a thumping kick, and one of the stalwarts of the team during a somewhat meagre period.
		Jim Wright was an energetic, bustling rover who formed a noteworthy roving alliance with Colin Brown in West Adelaide's excellent teams of the 1950s.
		Probably best remembered as the player whose kick hit a goal post during the dying seconds of the 1954 grand final, which Port Adelaide won by 3 points, Wright is undoubtedly worthy of a rather more glowing testimonial.

		To support this view Stynes points out that at rave parties there is medical care but at other smaller parties in which these people will be forced to attend in substitution of raves there is not, and time is everything with overdoses the medical attention provided could be a matter of life and death.
		Stynes effectively argues that understanding the underlying issues in our young peoples lives is key.
		Stynes as the co-founder of the Reach Foundation has worked a lot with young people and obviously cares for their well-being.

	Book Review: Jim Stynes: Whatever It Takes
		Jim Stynes is well known - particularly in Southern Australia's Australian Football League heartland - for four things:
		Stynes had a dad who encouraged him, coached and roared at him on the soccer/Gaelic football field, and who believed in him.
		Jim Stynes, a qualified teacher, now runs - with other well-known athletes - a 'Reach for the Stars' program for kids.

	Book Review: Jim Stynes: Whatever It Takes
		Jim announced to an astonished Footy Show/TV audience that he was a virgin (he doesn't mention that in his book).
		Stynes wants us to learn just two things from his book: 'failure is never final,' and 'it's not what life does to you but what you do to life that counts'.
		And, as Stynes quotes Robert Frost as sayings in another context, that made all the difference.

	RTÉ.ie Sport - Swans cling on for victory
		Tadhg Kennelly did what Ireland's greatest Aussie Rules exponent Jim Stynes failed to do in his lengthy career this morning - win an AFL Premiership Grand final.
		Although Dublin-born ruckman Stynes won the coveted Brownlow Medal in 1991, he lost consecutive Grand finals with Melbourne in 1987 and 1988.
		In the early hours of this morning, a crowd of 91,898 watched the Swans, who relocated to Sydney from south Melbourne in 1982, claim their first "flag" since 1933 and Kennelly, watched by his parents Tim and Nuala, was fittingly central to the ending of that drought.

		Stynes, whose brother Brian, an All-Ireland winner with Dublin in 1995, is a specialist coach for Australia this year, feels the home squad's evident lack of experience of the hybrid game could stand to them.

		Aussie Rules legend Jim Stynes believes that Cork teenager Aisake O’hAilpin has done well to make Carlton’s rookie list but stressed that the Na Piarsaigh clubman will struggle to make the grade.
		O’hAilpin will be playing in the VFL this season, which is a reserve league that is known for its rough style of play and while Stynes believes that height will be a huge advantage, it will not necessarily guarantee a place in the side.
		Stynes, who was a major start for the game during the eighties and nineties with Melbourne Demons, expects Setanta to make the breakthrough with Carlton this season.
