Ah, the '90s, when I rusted my three '80s-born kids onto the Dees (for which they don't always thank me...)!

Jako's 8 were in R1 in an 11-goal dominance of eventual grand finalists, Geelong (we fell to premiers, West Coast, all 3 times, however...) He had 4 against the Hawks, as did do-we-remember-him-30-gamer Greg Doyle.

    8 goals for A.Jakovich

    Pretty sure he kicked something like 4 goals 10 behinds that day. Missed an absolute sitter from just outside the goalsquare then minutes later dobbed one from 50 out on the boundary.

    Twas there that day. We had come down from the Mallee to the big smoke mostly to see Collingwood vs. Carlton. The old man was also going to see the Saints and Roos with one of his mates, but since I never really got a chance to see the Demons play, Mum talked him into taking me out to Waverley to see this game. Shame we were staying in bloody North Melbourne at the time. I'm sure the old fella wasn't impressed with the 3 hour round trip! ?

    Jaka was his enigmatic self. I remembered one shot where I think he missed from 10 out running into goal, and then threaded another from an impossible angle from the boundary.

    Another highlight of that trip was the Blues vs. Pies game as that was when Mick McGuane did his famous run and goal. That was worth the price of admission, but more so was the end of the game. The Pies got up and we were sitting near Jack Elliott's corporate box. He was foolish enough to emerge after the final siren and he didn't look impressed. Say what you will about Collingwood, but the reception that boorish private school bully got from them was truly glorious. ?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
