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. 

And Charles.

    Love the front bar and was happy to see the great man on there.. only annoying thing was they would ask him a question and cut off his answer to ask a next.. he is very funny and it’s great to see his passion for the Dees still there.

    It was tough getting out of Vic Park that day. The Filth were angry!!!

    My dad kept giving me nervous looks as I belted out "it's a grand old flag" on the walk back to Hoddle St. :lol:

    Literally the best thing I've seen on YT in ages.

    I quickly whipped this animated gif up for DLers so you can download, email to your phones and send to your MFC and nonMFC mates alike. I recommend sending to WC supporters as a priority but I realise most of us have the good grace, sense and dignity to avoid mixing with their kind.

    I wish we saw more of this swashbuckling, derring-do, devil-may-care flair and panache in footy. Watching his 11 goal game against North - imagine if we had him now.

    Great to see the connection with Allen and the club reunited 

    i was always a bit sad he just disappeared 

    that number 13 was something else

    Jakovich was a bit like Jimi Hendrix, we only had him a short time, but he was a joy to watch.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
