for a guy who seems to have some sort form of worship towards Clive Waterhouse - a guy who wouldn't have played 50 games if it weren't for the rabble Freo were in the early days - it is quite ironic your bagging out Glen Jakovich.
The only player on your list who has achieved anything close to what Jako has is Peter Bell - and most (almost all) of that was achieved at another club.....

Never said that 1 culture was better than the other just that a hell of alot of ppl aren't aware that slapping in croatia is tough and think its weak and pathetic.

Next time I am sitting down to my meal of roast dog, urinating on public walls in broad daylight, or shrinking the heads of those who oppose me, I will expect you to nod sagely and point out how I am just culturally misunderstood

Well thats fair enough. I'll forgive you for you lack of cultural knowlege on Croatia. I shouldnt expect everyone to know the ins and outs of the croat culture

Each to their own, but back to talking footy.
After the first 10 minutes I turned off...last week was ok, but this week with all the SA teams bandwagoning..........that was sickening. Hence I am now checking out the foty sites online.

Would have got him, if Freo didn't ask for Dew and Lade for him.
He was our most dangerous player by a mile. If we lost him, we would have been in more trouble. Obviously his AFL career is behind him now but in his prime, one of the most dangerous (and inconsistant) players going around.

Thats so true, what Id give to watch those two battle against each other one more time.Two of the best players in the league at their best!

the one thing that can never be diminished about Jakovich is he is the only player to have drawn level with Carey in their one-on-one battles over such an extended period.
And on Waterhouse, very damaging on his day, but those were pretty few and far between - woulda been easier predicting the weather a month out than predicting how he was gunna play. Very Happy he didn't end up at our club.....

Yep, Jako really set himself to play Carey. Alot of the time he'd be down a little on form and then he'd come up against Carey and he'd lift. An out and out champion IMO!
Ummm... you try and play in a forward line with ****house delivery, ball hardly coming into the forward 50 and the number 1 opponent week in week out, with extra attention as well.
When he was in his prime, if you had asked all the coaches if they would want Clive in their side, I'm certain it would be a resounding 16-0 in Clive's favour.

Dont know much about waterhouse but the only thing I do remember is him being on TV just before the derby one year and he said...blood was going to be spilt! What was the score that day? I honestly cant remember...can someone remind me? It was the mothers day massacre I think....
Ask Phil Read or Andrew Embley.
