Something good - tomorrow is Allen Jakovich Day

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

ONLY THE POWER OF JAKOVICH CAN SAVE US NOW.

 

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

Thank you for putting up this thread. Well done to CIP. I still can't get the grin off my face.

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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
