Just got this game delivered:

http://www.footywire.com/afl/footy/ft_matc...istics?mid=4070

God I miss simple, direct footy. Just so much more honest than the game today. Commentators were comparing Jako to Jason Dunstall during the game!

So when can we expect the highlights? It's not that difficult, complicated to a degree, but there are guides available.

You'll need DVD Shrink, VOB2mpeg2, Virtualdub-mpeg2 and SUPER or AVIdemux. I'm not sure about quality. Probably Youtube will insist on its own re-code but if the video is already to the site spec this might be avoidable.

The waiting is killing me

The world needs to see Jaka

I can envision this video getting 1,000,000 hits on YouTube!

Giddy up!

To be fair maybe the guy has been busy, but please please please get this up soon.

Thanks for the benefit of doubt. Yes, work commitments and pregnant partner make time scarce! Will work on it for you Jako fans this weekend.

Thanks Chaser J.

Selfless efforts like yours are appreciated but they not always properly acknowledged.

Look forward to seeing it.

Cheers, mate.

Had a play around last night and uploaded a 3 minute clip from the first quarter last night.

Jeeze Lyon was good. Keep em coming mate.

That was the highlight for me, how well Did G move, god to have someone like him in our team at the moment..

I think his football ability gets lost in what he has done post footy. he was Brilliant.

i remember one of his best games was against richmond, the week after Balmey got sacked, garry could hardly move, i think he got about 2 kicks, kicked one goal off the ground, but i thought he was nearly best on ground that day, his leadership and focus was awesome, would be nice to have that in our team now...

jacka, what a flawed genius he was...

Good times..hope their not far off again..

does anyone else remember what a riot of a bloke jaka was off-field, too? maybe clubs didn't have the rein on players then, but he had some fabulous things to say. after an early game he was asked about being flamboyant & said -- was he clever enough for tongue-in-cheek? -- he didn't know what that word meant. asked on radio about his favourite goal, he said "the one i give off to grinter" -- such faux selfishness. he was a gem that boy. also remember going to the turf club hotel in flemington where he'd got up & sung w. the band. we had to settle for him joining in from behind the bar. &, of course, the brotherly kiss, the aeroplane goal celebration, the jumper-over-the-head celebration. there's never been anyone like him in the afl.

I just remember that game for Damien Gaspar's blind turn in the back pocket.

Anyone else remember that?

Classic.

Did Gaspar have the ball at the time? Did he turn back into the opposition goals?

I used to cringe when Gaspar was selected. He epitomised the trough we were in 10 years ago under Balme.

If you get that move of Gaspar's on you tube it would be worth something.

I cant recall one piece of redeeming football that guy ever played.

I think he was cut at the end of 1997. It could not have happened too soon.

There were some things about Jako which were not such a riot. He was a mercurial enigma on the field and not the sharpest tool in the shed off the field. His lack of maturity and judgment in certain situations off the field placed Jako in some very difficult circumstances.

Its a pity he was not better focussed or prepared for football like his brother.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
