Opinion Which club is Mark Jackson most associated with?

[Meteoric Rise]

This sums up his entire career really well.
Genuine natural talent in one aspect of the game, but his extreme selfishness and unreliability made him a liability wherever he played.

I have heard Tony Jewell say that although he kicked goals in his very brief time at St Kilda, he cost the team more than he scored by his refusal to chase his opponent or follow team rules in any way.

He is also the only person I have ever heard say a bad word about Trevor Barker. In fact he once placed a brick under Barker’s brake pedal.

He played at three clubs which were all out of finals at the time, and all either sacked him or were happy to see him go.

Seriously he was about the level of Peter Wright or Ben Brown or maybe Nick Larkey.

Book club maybe? I remember having this literary masterpiece of his when I was a kid:

I've still got it somewhere. Bloke could play but as others have said bat crap crazy. If he pulled his head in a bit would be a bloody good goal kicking coach

Melbourne

Energizer

To be fair in Jacko's own words, he is an individual... so he didn't really belong to any club.

One could wonder what Mark Jacko Jackson would be like if he played in the SANFL in the 1980s.

There were 10 SANFL clubs back then. You wonder which club would want him.

 

[Freomaniac]

Looking at his stats across the WAFL, VFL Reserves and VFL he kicked 560 goals in 142 games. Basically a 4 goal a game average. The guy could actually play.

Would Mark Jacko Jackson done well in the SANFL in the 1980s?

Would be an interesting showdown thats for sure. Imagine them in the Same forward line.

Jacko at Full forward, Granger at Centre half forward.
