Yes, remember that day well. On the train back to Richmond singing the song with disgruntled Pies supporters a captive audience. Then home to watch the Oarsome Foursome win gold at Barcelona.

Jaka was a gem.

A forward with great physical presence and some attitude to back it up....love it.

This was part of a great time in my youth when you would go to MFC games knowing you would see 20 blokes have an absolutely crack. Being hard at it was a non-negotiable. God bless swooper Northey and his Tiger-esque 'kill or be killed'.

Alas those times have passed...but here's hoping they return some day.

Ripper post/vids 13. Thanks mate!!

Yep. Swooper built a side of real men and some awesome talent, willing to put it all on the line for the jumper and their supporters. And he included the supporters in there too. Best coach at MFC since Smithy.

Was sitting in the forward pocket at pie park in 92. One of my best days their and ever at any match (and last to pie park) as i went with a work colleague (pie) who thought they were gonna cream us. He lost the bet! It was Jakovich versus the pies that day. Of course others had to perform to get it to him and shut pies down. Great effort all round. And to beat one of the more highly rated FBs in Pert too. He was a big boy as well and was being man handled by Jakovich.

94 was an awesome team as well under Balme. Never forget the semi against the Blues at the G. Most polished finals performance i think i ever saw from our boys. Recall speaking to a trainer at Junction in 96 when things weren't looking so good and he said the Club had its best chance to win a premiership in 94 and blew it.

Was the big bull in the park and stuck it right up em every time. Made us stand tall. What an excitement machine. Rather see that anyday than some of the drivel we've dished up in the last 15 years.

Albeit Jakovich went off the rails towards the end (off & on the field lol). Think we should have worked harder to keep him to be honest. Was effectively our Fev at the time.

Hec....Fevs available!!! :rolleyes: Anyone???

That was just magic that semi in 94'

Probably the best day at the footy I have had. It's bloody depressing now when you realise how long it's been since we have been a hard side though!

For sure mate. We also had Pike in that team. Played a big part on the day as well and then we let him go next year to end up playing in 4 premierships!!!??? :mad:

Ok, so he was a little loose with the juice off the field. So what. Others have and will do the same as we see every other week now. Just gotta manage it. It's a part of the change that's needed within the Demon's FD culture and Club generally. Need a few tough nuts in the team both off the field and on. As long as they don't do a complete skitz like Fev and some of the Saints boys....and bring the results...who the hell cares.

This is the year we toughen up (i hope) and change our culture big time in order to win the ultimate prize!!

Whatever it takes i reckon.

Loved Jacko, I believe he has been our best key full forward in the modern era. I hope LJ looks as his lead up style. He was a maverik but in full flight he was fantastic to watch. I could be corrected but I believe he kicked more bags of 5+ goals in games than any that has pulled on the famous red and blue

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
