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.

and another...

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.

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
