Something good - tomorrow is Allen Jakovich Day

Tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of the great man kicking 11 goals 8 against North Melbourne.

It ranks as one of the greatest individual performances by a Melbourne player in history.

22 kicks, 14 marks, 11 goals, 8 behinds, 2 out on the full, 3 Brownlow votes and a $750 fine for umpire abuse.

He had 10 goals to 3 quarter time and should have ended with at least 14, as he missed some very easy shots.

Here are 2 of the not so easy goals.

Remember some of the greatest goals ever kicked for the club, remember the extra 5000 he brought through the gates, remember the goal celebrations.

Remember the fat arse, laziness, filthy temper and tantrums as well.

Never forget he was but a shooting star who never burnt as brightly as he should have.

In my eyes, my favourite ever footballer x 100,000.

Here's some trips down memory lane.

His last public appearance as a Melbourne player. Looks quite fit, but about to embark on a summer of destruction.

At a time when this football club is on its knees (again), take a moment tomorrow to reflect on the greatest showman this football club has known.

Happy Allen Jakovich Day and thanks to Supermercado/Demonblog for coming up with the concept. I can only take credit for the date.

    It must also be close to the first anniversary of that massive win we had last year against the Swans.

    Amazing - 12 months is a long time in football.

    July 25 was the Sydney win.

    I think my favourite stat from above is Jako's 22 kicks lead to 21 shots on goal. What was his other kick? One that fell short?

    took a speccy 45 from goal at the Punt Rd end and passed to Brett Lovett who was unmanned in the goal square in the middle of his 3rd quarter masterclass.

    that in itself was the biggest shock of the day.

    He probably still regrets it!

    Does any one know where Allen is these days? Last thing i heard was that he had left Australia.

    Brings a tear to the eye.

    Wish we could find someone to strut around the forward line like a peacock once again

    My favorite memory of jako was seeing the number plate Jako13 on my hammer on the south eastern. I was driving my first car an old 1976 model Corolla.... Basically a shitbox. He zoomed by! Obviously floored it to catch up - hit 135 without even getting close to him - jako must have been pushing the 150 mark... Probably late for training! When I redlined the corolla, over heated and had to wait for the engine to cool down enough to work again! Yes I buggered my first car but I found out how much of a hoon jako was! Him and our new coach... My two all time favourite players. Lead us well Toddles

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
