Does anyone know if this is legitimate? Has the great one finally risen again?

Could the Australia and New Zealand Association of Manila have succeeded where so many others have failed!?!

Shut the front door!

How much is a flight to Manila?

 

The best individual performance I have seen from a demon was Jacko v North.

I remember the astonishment from the sports writers in the states when Bennett stopped a sure touchdown from a punt return. He was the last player between the punt returner and the touch line - Bennett laid a bone crunching tackle on the player.

The sport writers were astonished as punters never laid tackles in the NFL and I was astonished because Bennett never laid a tackle in the AFL.

Not only that but that tackle saved the game for his team, the San Diego Chargers and as a result they got into the finals for something like the first time or the first time in many years. He became an overnight sensation and that tackle was broadcast all over the States. Set up his career for the next ten years.

He'd have played ten years regardless but the coverage around that tackle in Australia is what got me into NFL. It's a terrible sport but I do love it.

 

That room at the Marriott in Manila Flooded totally on GF day in 2009 during a Typhoon. 

Went past it on the way to the airport the next day

my hotel was on top of a rise.....

Do you have to be as mad as those two to be allowed to attend?

You are mad if you live in Manila. What a line up though?! 


Seems to good to be true.   Would be incredible to get some vision of the great man,

Wonder if hes been hiding out in the Philippines the last 20 years?     A legend.

He could walk through the Philippines so easily. Nobody would give him a second look

Up there with my most favourite "get me through the turnstiles" MFC players of all time - Flower, Jakovich, The Wizz, then........

Is it a promo for mad cows disease? What a couple of entertaining whacko's those two are! Would love to hear them. Hope someone records it 

Imagine having a beer or 10 with Jako and Pikey...

I'd have to imagine it pre-drinks.  Don't think I could afterwards.

My wife's family is from the Philippines she came to Aus in 2001. Her brother and his wife were stuck over there during that typhoon, couldn't get a plane home for 2 weeks.

Seriously what an event that will be Jako and Pike together! Would love to be there and get on the [censored] with them AND watch the GF! I wonder if Jako knows how much he is adored by MFC supporters, still my favourite ever Demon since I've been watching. Every week was entertaining especially when we played the Pies he was a true performance artist

A lot of posters naming him a great of the club ................... don't think so.

He was a "great" in the same way Jurrah was - unfulfilled potential.

Definitely not a "great" but a cult hero for sure. Delivered more than Jurrah, still the quickest to 50 goals I believe? And second only to Coleman as quickest to 100?

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
