I think that this was one of the best interviews ever. Mark Jackson was asked to come on the show, and he did, but no bull was going to come from him. It's honest, and it's brutal. One of the few genuine personalities that isn't afraid to say what he thinks.

Imagine that, a 57 year old and 70 year old who both are well past their day put on more entertaining television than a lot of “professional entertainers”

The section from around 6.15 until 7.20 is actually spot on 100%. The art of goalkicking is one that is not emphasised nearly enough nowadays and he is spot on with the amount of practice it needs.

On knocking out Robbie Flower: “What am I supposed to give you a heartfelt rendition of Danny Boy?” Gold.

Good on ya Jacko you are spot on about the media and the corporate game. Its Not for the people anymore.

Someone needs to do a movie about Jacko's football career and his life. He is right. You'll never see a more entertaining and flamboyant character of a football player. You will never see Buddy do a donkey kick or spin the footy on their finger like Jacko. A true genius that sadly never had the recognition.

Interviewer: being quiet Jacko: HANG ON HANG ON BE QUIET

At the time this interview aired, I didn't think Jacko's suggestion of making the AFL rules nationally trusted was necessary, since at the time I didn't think the AFL was incompetent enough to ruin the game with excessive unnecessary rule changes. Fast forward to May 2022 and he is looking like a genius

Media analysis , AFL physchologits , vigorous fitness expectations & left wing agenda is solely to blame.

I'm surprised this ever got to air, but what a refreshing breath of foul air!! Jacko's not the only one who thinks that Aussie rules (now called AFL) has gone down hill. Something's wrong when greats like Jesaulenko and Barassi can't watch the "modern game", and as wacko as Jacko can be, he's got a lot of good points. Pity Jacko can't box; the great Mal Meninga knocked him out easily. Great footballer, great character, great interview.

Well you are wrong, because first 10 years of his footy career he was versatile and used to play on ball also around the ground but he was so brilliant he could still kick around six goals playing in midfield at times.

Jacko spoke a lot of home truths . Extremely honest.

This is the best interview I’ve ever seen with Mark Jackson and Mike Shian Daniel

I have watched Jacko on here few times and I like his honesty and opinion. He was not one of my favorite players back then but did draw crowds and he added humour which is nothing wrong with that. But to all those people who dont like his opinion. Means you dont know of that era. I recommend watch some games from then, the game was tougher, higher scoring, just as fast, more direct. Was better to watch. The game these days for the last 10 or so years has been to0 congested the whole teams following ball, too much backwards sideways kicking, too much handball, and the game is lower scoring and considering they play indoors at times and manicured grounds is no excuse for this. For example 2014 was the lowest scoring year by long way since 1968. Check statistics everyone because highest scoring years was from mid 1970's till late 90's, and they played on heavier grounds at times bakc then. So called experts might say game is revolving, but right way I am not sure. Plus I have no real interest in going to a game these days, but did recently, I took my kids to go see Essendon v Melbourne few weeks ago. Was frustrating to watch with unforced errors that happened. Both teams constantly kicking short passes to opposition. Which was good for a laugh. Even a spectator called out near me can we have our money back ! If people out there think game is faster and players skills are better then 20 years ago for example then you are wrong, wrong, wrong. The skill errors I see these days would not have happened back then ! If people out there like my opinion then reply to me with you thoughts, or give a like. Cheers

Dirt Road The coaches are to blame for the current tactics. It’s the fear of being scored easily off of a turnover. Plus the players are the fittest they’ve ever been, so these rolling masses of 12+ players just move all over the ground with no space to clear the ball wherever on the ground it is. Last decent team to watch was Geelong in 07/08. Then St.Kilda (Ross Lyon), Hawthorn (Al Clarkson) and Collingwood (Mick Malthouse) coaching staff devised a game plan to stop the free-flowing Geelong game style and so Geelong were forced to change tactics when Chris Scott was appointed (and won another flag with their modified version of Bomber Thompson’s game plan). But it has just degenerated into a scrum these days. Appalling to watch.

I work for a living. Brilliant jacko is spot on

Love him or hate him, he was great for footy, and as he says he got people through the gates. A true ‘Grass Roots’ player that had a very real and unique football talent and freely speaks his raw uncompromising truth. Let the ‘big knobs’ squirm a bit with his ‘pin point’ and barbed comments as his views are pretty much the opinion of a larger part of the footy public anyway. The only thing with Jacko was that he was a bit too ‘Retiring and reserved’ on the ground and probably needed to come out of his shell a bit. Go Geelong, Richmond, St Kilda, Melbourne ......... or whoever he was playin with that week!. 😂

Jacko is an entertainer on and of the field that could kick a goal.He is right about the game to boring .Thought Mike handled it very well.

Didn’t know who this guy was until I herd his name come up in a podcast the other week. But holy crap he speaks some serious truth about the game. Would love to hear his take on the state of the game today. The idea of a national trust is about as on the head as it can get.

i played rugby league, supported east perth in the W.A.F.L. .i rarely went to an AFL match but when i did , i went to watch south fremantle coz jacko was playin.He was a great entertainer.

i can't help but feel there were more _characters_ back in the day, helped by the fact the sport wasn't as professional/elite as it is now, and was id say at least slightly easier for enforcer-types -- how would a Mark Jackson fair on field in todays modern game? surely not as effective

My mate was a trainer at South Freo back then. Told me some Jacko stories, one being that Big Bad Mal Brown (South's coach) decked Jacko one night at training.

I so look forward to meeting you one day Jacko and shaking your hand. I watched your career and though you were not in my team (Fitzroy Lions), had great pleasure watching you.

Interesting conversation no doubt. Mark sure puts his points across well. Very funny guy. 😂

I'm glad Jacko referenced Rugby League champ, Ray Price, because it leads me to a story that explains just how the Real Men of the contact sports like Rugby League and Aussie Rules used to think. Back in the day, the Australian Rugby League half back was Billy Smith from St George. One day, the Aussie team for a series against the English is announced and Billy has lost his spot to young upstart from Western Suburbs named Tommy Raudonikis. Well, wouldn't you know, the very next weekend, Saints are playing Western Suburbs! During the game, a scrum is packed and Wests have the feed. Tommy feeds the scrum and Wests win it. As the ball comes out of the scrum, it is rolling around all over the ground, so Tommy falls on it to avoid a knock on. As he does this, Billy Smith runs around the blind side of the scrum and kicks Tommy in the head. Here's Tommy take on the story: "Billy ran around the blind side and kicked me in the head. I was havin' a beer with him after the game and I said, 'Why'd you kick me in the head, Billy?' And Billy said, 'Just so you know I'm still around son.'" There is a very telling part of that above statement and if you can pick it out, you already know how respect works in the sometimes brutal and unforgiving world of contact sports.

SO CORRECT, AFL HAS BECOME SOFT, BORING AND REPETITIVE. STOP THE HANDBALLS, GET BACK TO MANNING UP, ONE ON ONE, BRING BACK THE TOUGHNESS, THE SCREAMERS. SACK ALL THE BOARD AND REWRITE THE RULES TO TURN THE GAME BACK TO WHAT IT WAS and one more very important thing, teach them how to KICK BLOODY GOALS

I am from Queensland and I played Rugby League. I love Jacko! Real aussie

He is spot on! No character anymore...just like education.

They say every ad break was a jocks change for mike
