My dream fwd line of a few decades ago would be possibly a combo of

A. Jacko

G.Lion

Neita

Robbo

Farmer

Schwartz 

Yes pretty awesome. For balance and some pressure I’d play Jurrah and Davey with Robbo interchange and Neita at CHB.

A. Jakovich

G. Lyon

J. Farmer

D. Schwartz

L. Jurrah

A. Davey

If we could pick current players I’d have Davey on the bench and Pickett in.

Agreed. One of the best ever. Bennett was badly beaten by Hamilton, then that great coach Sheedy took Hamilton off firm and put Vanderhar on him. Bennett went mad!!!!!

Ditto, standing in the outer, one of favourite MFC matches, came from about 40 points down if I recall, Essendon had our measure until late 3rd qtr when Rhode went on to Michael Long who was destroying us. Rhode then completely shut down Long, last qtr momentum was like a tidal wave, Bennent and Ricky Jackson🔥. A magnificent day I’ll never forget.

If only we could have kept Bennett and Jakovich together for longer???

Most of the first 3 quarters we were down by 20-25 points, we weren’t being thrashed, but it certainly didn’t look like a win. 
At the 20 minute mark of the Final Quarter we were 22 points down and came home, Ricky Jackson slotted one from the pocket near where i was, i think Sugar Healy kicked a beauty as well.

I was supposed to be there but my older brothers wouldn’t take as they were going with all of their Essendon mates and didn’t want me there. 

How good was Ricky Jackson back in the day?!!! Another thread for another time. Time to head off to the G.

I agree the margin was generally around 4 goals and Essendon definitely looked to have our measure, thought the margin got to over six goals at one stage but it was a long time ago.

I have the last qtr replay on VHS ( always wanted to digitise my library but tech is not my thing) Will dust off the Video player soon and give it a watch. 

Jackson’s goal was from the outer pocket I seem to remember, can’t recall if it was a banana or drop punt? Also not far from where I was.

Nb. IMO A Ricky Jackson clone, fast, great crumber, goal sense, x factor would be a much needed addition to our 22. Yes,  Pickett has all those attributes however as a duo our forward line would be extremely potent.

Pity, would have been something to behold, standing amongst Don supporters during that last qtr.

Ricky Jackson was a star and very important to the success of that side. Rather under appreciated IMO.   
Seemed to often turn a game with his burst of magic. Then he just seemed to fade away and was gone and I never knew why. Maybe someone might know what happened to him.

Enjoy tonight.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
