Tingay was a gun but this one is no contest! Jakovich probably my favourite ever Demon, I was 9 when he debuted and he was just electrifying. Perfect mix of being able to kick goals from anywhere, being an absolute larrikin and giving it to Collingwood supporters.

You're not making them easy DL. Gees. 

Stinger for mine. Had a big man crush on him.

 

tough one. Jakovich for mine .

Fastest to 50 career goals (9 games) in league history and equal fastest to 100 goals (21 games shared with Coleman).


Tingay is a very underrated player; fast, tough, skilful, whose careers was derailed by injury... but it’s a very difficult ask for any child of the 90s to vote against Allen Jakovich.

Sheesh, we’ve had some serious talent over the years. Who remembers Tingay’s transformation from a skinny little kid to a beefed up machine? I feared for some opposition players the way he tackled them sometimes. I also remember him having around 16 possessions in the first quarter of the 94 prelim at the WACA before they took him out of the game with some kind of dodgy taking of the legs for memory? 

Unlucky he’s up against Jako here.

Loved them both but Stinga by a nose for mine................!!!!!!!!! Hardest so far.

 

Tingay for  me......

From all reports the hardest working player on & off the field during his time. 


I came on here for some light relief and am confronted with Sophie's choice instead. 

Stinga was a great demon with heart, strength and skill second to none.

Jako was the greatest forward I have ever seen in any team, bar none, for his 47 games. Like only a tiny handful of players in the history of the game, he was not just better but he could do things on the field that others could not even dream about.

These are unfair choices. Should implement a repechage for Stinga and Ooze.

Jako for me.

I have a lot of admiration for Tingay but Jakovich was just too much of a rare talent to vote against.

Not the easiest of polls this one.

I enver really got to see much of them playing, but Stephen Tingay's recipe for a chicken cacciatore in the Trevor Barker memorial cookbook (I forget the name of the book - it might just be 'AFL cookbook') was a real winner and very easy.  Also quite forgiving of lazy cooks like me with a tendency to wander off and do other things.

It comes down to professionalism and team first players.?

IF you were trying to build a side to win the flag, you'd have to go with the team first star over the  'I'm-here'  type star.

Jako was just a little too much like,  well, Jacko.  And Capper.

 

Take that leg wound away from Stinga,  and he would be a legend. Certainly a match winner.

Jako would be murdered by zone defenses, STINGA could still get a game on our wing.

STINGA

A fit Stinga,  would walk into any team of today's footy,  and name his price.

I recall at one stage Norm Smith winner Peter Matera, and Tingay were the two best wings in the competition before the position lost its fashion

Stinga is my choice in a hard one to decide. Jako was great too.

If the question was best guns then stings by a mile.

Best player? Jako. Insane talent.

Favorite player? Saw Jako tear the pies apart at vic park. One of my fav games. Cemented jako as one of my all time favourite players.

The number of rotations has had a huge effect on this position IMO.  Too many by far.  depleting space to run and carry.  The reductions has helped a little, but not enough to get back to those one-on-one battles, out in open space.

We end with a pack, and stacks on.

Yep agree I would love to have an Alan Jacovich running around today. Tingay was a sensational player

A better comparison might have been Jacovich Vs Robbo!?

If only the both of them could've stayed fit.
Tingay for me.

Jako rubbed against my grain abit if I was honest.
I also remember watching him have a late game shot at goal to put us in front.
Was thinking at the time that a true champ would kick it and we'll see what he's really made of..... He missed, we lost.
Harsh maybe but I thought him a flaky footballer.

Robbo.
Jakovich was too much of a shooting star.

he could certainly enthral  and dazzle you one minute and frustrate the bejeezus out of you the next

he certainly didn't fit the usual mould, but then neither did gablett-snr

  • 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.

    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

    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.
