    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?

    Equal quickest with Coleman and if he had kicked straighter would have got his 100 in 15 games instead of 21.

    He was about 5 levels above Jurrah.

    Jaka -  201 goals in 47 games

    Jurrah -  81 goals in 36 games

     

    Jakovich kicked bags in finals. In 47 game with Melbourne, he kicked 7+ goals on 10 occasions. Jurrahs best was 5.   AJ was a superstar. Only longevity stopped him being an all time great of the game.  Kicked an absurd amount of behinds too, if he had been more accurate... wow.

    In my original post I made no comments about their relative merits as footballers and I won't now.

    Both played less than 50 games for the club and both, in their own way, were magical, charismatic crowd pullers.

    Both, in their own ways, drifted off into football oblivion and hence my comparison - unfulfilled potential.

    I remember seeing Jako sing in TFS band at least 25 years ago (when it was mildly entertaining) and thinking with a good manager he could be a footy pop star. Unfortunately his star burnt out very quickly on both fronts

    Please don't compare Jurrah to Jako. Jurrah was fantastic. Jako was god like who regardless of the club he was at, would have had a short career.

    Id compare him to Ablett senior. Still remember when I saw him at the MooraBIN ground and win a game for us. The saints supporters went silent when the ball was near him.

    Exactly the same way i feel about Jim Morrison.

    if he learned how to inject himself safely he could have won the noble prize fro literature but instead he died in the bath .

    Took 9 games to kick 50 goals and his first two games he kicked 0 (Melbourne kicked 2.8 for the day in a downpour against WCE in Perth) and 1. Averaged 7 goals/game in games 3-9.

    The guy was a Freak, who had a chronic back injury from before he came to us

    We got the best we could have out of Allen. It was just pure bad luck he couldn't make the '94 Finals Series

    To be fair, I think that back injury came about because of all the extra pud he used to carry around (which led him to being delisted at the end of 1994).

    That being said, one of my all time favorites. Jaka didn't fit the stereotype of a Melbourne footballer. He lived on his wits and was a master sledger. Dustin Fletcher recalled with a smile about him kicking a bag of nine on him in his first year 'and telling me all about it after each and every one'.

    If you are feeling depressed about round 23, go to YouTube and watch our last ever game at Victoria Park in 1992. The bakes he directed at the Collingwood crowd, Gary Pert and Mick Gayfer were a thing of beauty (not to mention he kicked 7 and was the difference between the two teams).

    Rounds 15-21 , 1991

    51 goals, 38 behinds in 7 games for an average of 7.3 goals per game,  5.4 behinds per game.

     

    Ended up with 71 goals (5.1 per game), 57 behinds (4.1 per game) in 14 games on the season. Including 8 goals in his first ever final.

     

    Buddy Franklin , Josh Kennedy and many others could only dream of a run like that.

    So did anyone get a photo of this elusive creature in his Philippine natural habitat? Or a recording of his mating call? 

    Does he feed on San Miguel, pork adobo and chicken McNuggets? 

    Does he look like a bloated sack of protoplasm or a wrinkly piece of leather left in the sun too long? 

    Where does he sleep? Does he still have a mullet? 

    We need answers, dammit!

After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
