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!

Still my alltime favourite MFC player you just had to love him!

Thanks for bringing this important day to our attention

I still have some old tapes of the match will sit back and watch in awe and try to forget this week in MFC history

Brings a tear to the eye.

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

Just looked up Jakka's career statistics:

54 games

537 kicks

58 handballs

12 tackles

31 frees for

90 frees against.

God I miss him!

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
