He's still an individual, you can't fool him.
Jacko is actually quite a nice guy.
My ex was very good friends with his sister and she had nothing but good things to say about the family.
Loose cannons maybe but loose cannons s with heart.

Wasn't suggesting otherwise...
I meant his on-field antics and his "I don't give a s**t what anyone thinks of me" attitude.
I didn't think you were.
Probably not the best post to attach my sentiments to but more than anything, Jacko wasn't wasn't quite the person he fronted up to be.
Guess we can't always judge a book........................
Played cricket against Jacko once.
He was good mates with a few of my older mates.
Was one of the funniest days(and night) i had playing cricket.
Everyone was laughing all day. Good guy. Different to his public persona, although constant humour was a constant.

Useless info but I was on Fitzroy st in St Kilda, must have been 15 years ago and Jakovich walked into a pinny joint there wearing moccasins.
Saw him last week in a coffee shop in St Kilda, hilarious player.
and that just about sums up everything that is wrong with footy.
Jacko is a regular client of ours and I can tell you he is an absolute breath of fresh air to deal with. He can be a little brash sometimes, but for the most part he is quiet and very polite to all the staff. He popped in to our office last week and I could hear him asking for me (I was out back)and I walked out and greeted him as per usual, next thing he says that he has something for me...he comes back in with a cracking autographed cartoon and photo from his playing days with Melbourne.
believe me, we were all stunned, but I was floored! He shares a similar disdain for the AFL that I do. I guess I appreciate the characters of the game which were part of my upbringing during the WAFL days.
his goalkicking record still stands, so he obviously knew a bit about playing. He does reside in QLD but regularly visits Melbourne. I expect to see him back in our offices in 10 days or so.
Very generous to say he was coaching us. I remember he showed up to training like three times.

The footy public wouldn't allow anything like a Jacko in the game these days.
I saw his comedy show with Chopper many years ago.
He's a genuinely good entertainer and has a real knack for telling stories.
Met him afterward too, couldn't believe how calm and normal he was. Totally different to when he was on stage.
Those eyes though... crazy, crazy eyes.

Mark "Jacko" Jackson average just under 4 goals in his career. That pretty good
And would cost his side 6 goals a game by not creating forward line defensive pressure, plus copious acts of stupidity and lack of discipline.

These videos remind me of the preciousness of youth.
Then I go back to wasting it by posting on bigfooty.
Bumped into Jacko a few years ago here in Sydney, he was sitting outside a pub having a coffee.
Asked him what he was doing in Sydney and he explained that he was touring his show that featured Chopper Read, Roger Rogerson & himself.
He told me that backstage, those other two would share stories about their past that we so full-on that it would leave him shuddering in fright, he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

It was mentioned on Triple M yesterday that he was in Melbourne this week lining up a bunch of shows with him and Dank
Willing to wager that those commenting on the game these days see it as some kind of intricate science and have no clue about footy.

You look at Jacko's VFL record (308 goals in 82 games, held goalless just once, in his 80th game), and think "Geez, he must have been pretty good under all the silliness", but then you realise he played in just 22 wins over his 82 VFL games, and the above quotes start to ring pretty true as well.
People used to whinge heavily about Fevola at Carlton, so they wouldn't have a bar of Jacko's antics these days.
Anyone seen the movie he was in, some sort of buddy cop movie I believe?
Matthews showed a lot of courage that day hitting a bloke who wasn't looking
