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 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.
