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: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
