I loved the interview .... both the reminiscing and looking forward to Saturday night.

 

I still write my signature in the same style as Allen Jackovich


Been doing a lot of digging up of old artifacts in the past couple of weeks. Turns out in the early-to-mid 90s I had a penchant for keeping newspaper articles...and particularly if they included one A.Jakovich. It was quite the man-crush.

File sizes I'm allowed to upload are getting smaller and smaller, hopefully you get the idea.

Possibly half of my favourite ever half a dozen players have worn the #13 (at least two out of my top 3), with all of those present at Optus this weekend. Go Dees!

Great interview. Sometimes you get guys from 2 different eras who could have easily passed for teammates such is their love for the club. Really enjoyable.

Allen Jakovich was one of my favourite players growing up as a kid. He was definitely a freak! Probably would of kicked 100 goals in an AFL season if he could kick straighter!

Was definitely a shame that his career was crippled by injuries.

Gotta love his highlights reel though!

I had that top right one in a poster on my wall... could never really figure out what kind of kick it was.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
