Jako to try and kick a bag?

[materamagic]

There would be two things on his mind today. Farwelling teammates and long time fans with a win and most of all, doing something he has never done but has always dreamed off, the thing he hasn't achieved amongst his impressive CV, That is to kick a bag of goals. Be the hero and the matchwinner. Midfielders honour his every lead because it will sink in throughout the season that one of your clubs greatest is no longer there

I dreamed that both Jakovich and Carey would retire after playing against each other one last time in rd 12. What a game that would have been.
I am a Kangaroos fan but I've always enjoyed the rivalry.
Jakovich is a great player and I'd love to see him kick a bag today. I'm sorry it's not on the telly here in Vic.

He was on target for a bag at quarter time with 3 goals and a behind but didnt really touch it again until there was about 5mins left in the game. Still a great game from Jako tho.

well he kicked 3, and if he kicked that one at the end it would have been a mini bag

i was not that far off. he kicked a bag in the first 1/4. With all due respect he was playing under enormous pain and emotion and did so with the dignity and courage that has been his character at the eagles. what is overlooked are the goals he set up from the most difficult position on the ground. that one to embley stands out and a few other good things he did.

The eagles deserve one more home match as compensation for all the wear and tear that players endure which contributes to premature retirements.

I wouldn't exactly call 276 games premature.

u know what i mean, it feels like the media in here, make one assumption and you get hammered as much as the BeeGees did in the minds of punk fans
