That's forward craft, big boy!

Could play a bit the lad Jakovich. That 90's period was our best chance of a flag if we had of kept our best players on the field!!

On the big boy comment, love that he used the exact opposite of Dane Rampe's "little girl" comment. Surely he had it planned for just such an occasion or the spontaneity was genius!

    Interesting to notice that during his set shots he had a distinct look of calm, untroubled concentration, but watching his goals from general play there are a few moments just before he takes the shot where his whole face and body language seems to be saying something between 'hur hur here we go' and 'watch this mum!'.

    Inspired by this, I say start Petracca from the goalsquare for a whole game and tell him to take a shot whenever he gets it, and not worry too much about chasing once it is out of his area. Worth it for the fun alone.

    How good was Lyon's pickup and hands to Jay Viney for Jako's second?

    The most uniquely gifted and instinctive forward I have seen in 60 years of watching footy. All teams.

    He made it without "silver service" lace out delivery from upfield by relying on his rare natural ability alone.

    Jacca, Garry, Duke, Darren B all in the same team. There has never been a more talented Demon forward line but injury to Jacca and Garry  brought them down.

    Agree with Spud - if only. Alas.

    And Drew Morphett doing a lot of the commentary.

    It was one of the great days at the footy, he kicked something like 11-8, he was spectacular.

    i like the suggestion to stick Petracca in the goalsquare and just go for it! Would be fantastic if he could deliver half what Jakovich did in that purple patch!

    But it wouldn’t happen today, Jako would have 4 blokes on him and 3 in the hole in front as well.

    Jacko was a physical beast

    Trac just looks like one.

    when Full Forward was still recognizable as a craft...

    thanks to Kevin Sheedy all that has gone now....

    Jakovich kicked 100 goals in his first 21 games for Melbourne

     I am not sure if it was in his first or second season at melbourne but he also kicked 100 goals between seniors and reserves in one season. That is something.

    However for some reason he couldn't get a game after kicking 10  goals in the reserves. Strange. That would have been his second season.

    He could have done with him now.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

        • Haha
