My favourite was when he sprayed the Gatorade over the Collingwood supporters at Victoria Park while going up the race at half time. He needed an escort to get back to his car!

He was dragged early on came back kicked 7 and we won a famous game (our last game at Vic Park) to knock the Pies off the top of the ladder - potentially costing them the flag. I was standing in the outer as a 10yo, great day at the footy.

    You forgot how good a player he was and his kicking for goal was beautiful to watch. He really was a rare talent and that story he told of squirting the gatorade at the pies fans who were eating a pie at the time then saying how worried he was coming back out after 1/2 time and not sure what side to walk out on but said they are pies supporters so they wouldn't be smart enough to change sides was hilarious. 

    He was great tonight after just disappearing from society. Very funny man. 

    Glad to see he is still keeping an eye on the demons and still being interested in us. I wonder if Clayton Oliver is aware of him.

    So you’d prefer that as “stooge” he talks over the top of a guy who’s barely been seen for 30 years?

    Haha those clips were awesome thanks. 

    I saw most of Allen’s games. He was a total freak

    very quick runner for the first 5-10 metres. 

    Pity he always had a bad back. 

    If Jako had played a full season in ‘94 we would have won that cup

    i was shattered

    Not bad was it? I was only young at the time, why did he leave Melbourne? 

    His back was stuffed.

    Gee it would have been a handy forward line down the track if he was able to stay injury free for a few years. Jakovich, Lyon, Schwarz.

    Ha. Same here as a 10yo with my Filth supporting dad. He’d take me to Vic Park a lot, but to be fair he took me to Melbourne games too. I’d collect ‘cash-a-cans’ with random other kids whilst dodging the flying ciggie butts and bodily fluids. Climb the back of the scoreboard at half time while dad was at the bar.

    The others kids that day were all Pies and were giving me heAps early in the game. Then Jacko came back on, went berserk and made for a great day! I wasn’t very tough as a kid, but Jacko made me feel invincible as I gave it back to those kids. 

    Unforgettable!

    Yep. Dad tried to make me do up my duffle coat over my Melbourne jumper. Probably more out of embarrassment or shame than anything!

    That was so good. Although people need to learn to shut the [censored] up when they’re in the presence of greatness. Happens to me all the time...

     

    Loved how they pointed out he never thought about cantering it, then he said Hogan needs to be more selfish lol, times certainly have changed. 

    His follow through on the run is a thing of beauty. 

     

    Jakovich was that one Melbourne player all the other kids at school would excitedly talk about and mimic during kick to kick, being the only Demon at my school it was the only time we got a mention, and I was chuffed. Great memories.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
