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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

      Melbourne wrapped up the AFLW home and away season with a hard-fought 14-point win over Geelong at Kardinia Park. The result secured second place on the ladder with a 9–3 record and a home qualifying final against the Brisbane Lions next week.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
