DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted March 19, 2012 AFL legend and DDP pick Jim Stynes, who was given 2 weeks to live in 2009, is gravely ill again. This time it really doesn't look good for him, but don't discount the possibility of another heroic comeback. I still wonder if he'll get that UK obit when he goes The DDP leaderboard will look a bit different he gets one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I for one hope he does, otherwise that Drop 40 is going to look embarrassing for having a death but not technically a hit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

angryGreatness 96 Posted March 19, 2012 Considering I dropped him from my team at the last second, part of me hopes he doesn't get an obituary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,533 Posted March 19, 2012 His death's a trending topic in the UK plus he's getting RIP tweets from guys like Shane Warne and Lance Armstrong. He'll get a Daily Mail Online obit within two hours. If he does, 'ary Kiri and The Living End go joint top of the DDP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a moot point now that everyone and his dog has published obits but I see the rules have disappeared from the DDP site, so I can't challenge your reasoning.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 22, 2012 It seems to be a good day for cornering lunatic gunmen. As well as the Toulouse nutter, Australia's most wanted fugitive, Malcolm Naden, was finally apprehended after seven years on the run and several pot shots at police in recent months. He has now collapsed and been rushed to hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
