Meth Coast full of coke and ice addicts? Fact.

Melbourne fined for tanking? Fiction. 

End of story. Jako needs to stop snorting the boundary line.

Hypocrisy thy name is Jacko! Tanking accusations from a side that managed to pull Luke Shuey as a priority pick in the 2008 draft just 2 seasons after winning a drug fuelled flag! Give me a break. 

Some gold in this thread. Double likes for both of you.

Glen Jakovich said nothing out of place. Connolly should not even comment on the game after the damage he was part of at The MFC. 

The All Australian is 22 spots

that is all you can fit

So Connolly questions the omission of Neale and Jakovich is allowed to crack the sads and get personal because of it?  

It's poor form from Jakovich.  There was no need for him to say it.

True.  Things that might fly under the radar are getting plenty of air time this week, no doubt about it.

P.M SWYL, so we don't clog the thread.

Ok. Need to charge the phone

If all Connolly did was criticise an AA omission Jakovich's reply was completely over the top. CC is perfectly entitled to make such a criticism, after all, that's pretty much what every footy fan in Australia has done since last week.

Jako must have a thin skin. No doubt he's aware that while he was a gun player, he's only a commentator because he was a gun player. Nothing he's ever said proves him to be anything other than your token jock.

If Connolly said anything more, Jako was probably still OTT, but it's hard to see CC having a similarly caustic cut at Jako.

No cuddles for Jako.

I think he might be bitter that his Bro packed more excitement into a year than he gave us in his whole career.

Now if anything is irrelevant to what he said, it's that.

Anyone who lines up our club in that fashion when it's completely uncalled for, can gagf.

I'll be making the effort to phone in and take Jakovich to task on this. In my opinion, the bloke just disgraced himself as an immature commentator who obviously has an axe to grind with Cuddles.

Why bother bringing the club into it? 

What a clown.

Please record and post.

His carry on about our club, when completely uncalled for?

My F&*%ing oath is was out of line.

Lets see Connolly give a sermon about how many of our guys have died from a drug overdose, and how many of them are out directing traffic in their underwear on the freeway.

On some points, of course he was.  

But what did it have to do with Connolly commenting that Neale was stiff to miss out?

Yeah, it's an interesting side note that is West Coats hadn't tanked against us just a few rounds earlier, then the Melbourne-Richmond game of such ill repute would never have been an issue.


IF the comments on the end of that article are anything to go by there are quite a few people that think Glen is in the wrong space with this criticism, although more about his knowledge than his choices. Not the first article today in print about tanking in the vague context of comparisons (our "tanking" with GWS's dilemmas) all the same.

Good to see there wasn't any tanked games this year or the last ten for that matter. hasn't happened for years!!!

Yes I remember that game where we supposedly tanked. We managed to be ahead on points when the siren sounded but apparently according to Caroline Wilson there were some suspicious fumbles of the ball on the boundary line just seconds before the ball was kicked to Jordan McMahon who then kicked the winning goal for the Tigers. I think it was Pettard who fumbled in the last seconds and gee he had never done that before so the evidence was compelling.

Who actually cares. He blew up, and yes it wasn't really called for, but to be honest everyone who was in someway responsible for the insipid way our club was run and managed during those times deserves every ounce of ridicule they receive.

No, we have already received all of the ridicule TSFKA.

 

My issue is that drugovich had a massive crack at our club, when there was ZERO justification whatsoever.

Connolly didn't talk about the weagles being crack heads. He simply had an issue with a Freo player not being named in the A.A team.

What the other bloke did was line up our club, with no basis for attack whatsoever, and for that I say he can go eat a f*&%ing bucket of dhiks.


Can't handle negative feedback old Jacko. 

What a pansy

Never heard of this "Glen" Jakovich. Must be some relation to the great Allen Jakovich ;)

Seriously though, there are omissions to all  Australian every year that cause an uproar. Jakovich should have just let it ride.

Showed Connolly's comment on Classified. Looked a bit like he was mucking around, but it was hard to tell for sure since the lead-in was edited out.

Caro said Jako was "over the top" and the other 3 were laughing.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
