Shannon Gill is a Demon fanatic and was talking about Jako on Whateley this morning. Hope this link works https://megaphone.link/NTETP1385721706

Didn’t realize he was a Demon 

He always has a good segment

There was no one like Allen

one of his greatest was at Vic Park against The Filth in ‘92

Dragged in the first Quarter 

Comes back on and kicks 8 and we win

It was tough getting out of the ground alive

The Filth wanted to seriously kill that day, no security anywhere. 
it was worse at the Train Station….

 

Cost them the minor premiership and possibly the premiership too. Great day at the footy, the only time I went to Vic Park for a real game (saw a praccy there once).

It was my last visit to that Dung Heap. 
The Ox had the ponytail…

Was that Vic Park game when Choppa and Sean Wight  goaled in time on to get up by 9 points?

I have a memory of Daicos scoring the “winning goal” from the boundary pocket late in the game, and as the Filth supporters were having a collective orgasm, G. Lyon was instructed by the umpire to take the free kick for an infringement against him in the goal square. Magnificent. 

Breakout game for the young Ox - his first 3 Brownlow votes game. Alan Richardson playing in the black shorts, and Jako had Pert moved off him after rebounding from the earlier dragging by Northey and finishing with 7.5 (10 marks, no handballs!). Magnificent.

Here's the Vic Park game. He gives our current CEO a bath. 

And yes, Sean Wight kicked the sealer.

After 1994, the opportunity was lost. Jako was finished, and in the 1995 preseason Schwarz did his knee and Lyon did his back - I think it might even have been in the one training session😭

94 was still the most talented list I've seen in my time.
