Whatever happened to....Mark Jacko Jackson?

[Freomaniac]

i wonder if he's bought himself an XBOX now

That time he got on open Mike was hilarious

Answering the original question from 6 years ago I have seen Jacko a few times down Chelsea way the last couple of years (mum lives there apparently) and as recently as early 2020 one random weekday at my local Woolies a little further down the road.
Keeps to himself pretty much on one of the occasions he was just having a coffee by himself outside one of the many cafes along the Nepean Hwy in Chelsea.

I don’t mind Jacko’s antics overall, as some have said he was flawed as a footballer cause he only did for him but was funny.

That night with Sheahan he came across as such a self entitled flog it was embarrassing. Gave an insight to why he couldn’t manage being in a team. Jacko is all about Jacko

Had a mate whose sister was in the same primary grade as him. Showed me their grade 3 or 5 school photo. Spot him a mile away.

That was his style on the Gold Coast too.
Would often be on his own at the shops or pubtab, and if you looked at him, thinking Hey thats Jacko, he'd give you a grumpy stare.

It became incredibly cringeworthy when he couldn't maintain his rage for the entire show, he tried hard but it was clear it was slipping. He came across as a real dickhead in that interview.

If he didn’t do that it’d just be another totally forgotten episode like 200 other Open Mikes. As it’s stands it’s the most notorious one and I wouldn’t mind betting the most viewed.

That’s Jacko’s go and always has been. Forget what people think, just extract every last drop out of everything you do publicly.

Not saying you’re wrong, just offering a different view.

Entertaining for sure but so is Trump and plenty of other egocentrics. Can enjoy the viewing but would hate to be involved

Not sure Trump is a comparison, Jacko is hardly doing anybody any harm.

Not on the harm score, similarity is they are both amusing even if you don't really like them and seem totally consumed with self

 

[Topkent]

Never gonna get the credit for all the money he's helped raised for country footy clubs because he's a little out there.

Yeah don’t really think any analogy is right, one is a circus act and the other is a megalomaniac. But agree to disagree, I think I see what you’re saying.

Of course no analogy is right, he's an individual.

No worries. Trump has many more worse qualities so I see your point. I guess I was only saying some self obsessed people can be entertaining

 

[JMarra]

How can his brain hurt if he doesn't have one?

 

[Royals]

what happened to Jacko ?
noone cares and that is what hurts him.

 

[yodellinhank]

How can his brain hurt if he doesn't have one?

Because his noggin is on the blink

 

[gingernuts]

Here he is after playing banjo as a little boy in Deliverance movie

It’s how some people rationalise his behaviour, in an attempt to excuse it. Like Trump’s four dimensional chess. Neither have friends.

I saw him on the Gold Coast a couple of years back, was really nice and had a quick chat. Think my four year old was a touch scared of him

 

[westie]

I think he dropped into Wanneroo Pizza a couple of times.

Imagine if the AFL set up two new Melbourne clubs and relegated existing clubs to the VFL.

Here are my suggestions for new franchises (tongue planted in cheek):

Melbourne Ghosts - coached by Jimmy Jess.
Melbourne Maniacs - coached by Mark "Jacko" Jackson.

Just as well Jacko wasn't 20-years-old now: PC culture would kill him off before he even got started.
