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.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
