This is the best interview I’ve seen. This is a real volatile, hostile conversation and no man is backing down. This is an Australian television moment
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.
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”
Good on ya Mark. I moved to Aussie in 86 and instantly fell in love with VFL (known then). You always made me laugh and I admired your skill. The interview shows your love of the game, your passion for real footy, and your attitude of a spade is a spade, mate!, Hope I run into you one day to shake your hand - Legend!
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.
Great interview and loved Jacko and Kudos to Mike for not deleting this video, after copping a lot in this talk. I loved to see them come back and do it again for part 2
If you think he's talking sense you've lost the plot. Always be suspect of a bloke who has 0 responsibility to take for his own actions but everything to say about other people who have done him wrong.
Not a legend, not a top bloke. Let go of all 4 clubs he played for (follow the trail..), indiscriminately hit people on the footy field cause they were 'boring'. Rants on obsessively about how he was a victim & others weren't that good.. Attacks Mike on his own show for ending his career and writing personal things about him, yet fails to recount anything specific that pertains to that, etc etc. Honestly, can't believe the amount of comments praising this insane maniac, and so you probably all think that Donald Trump is some sort of legendary figure too. Please
Cream of the crop. Met him in 1994 at a pool in Queensland. Articulate, refined and measured. We debated the role of the World Bank in emerging Third World countries in the context of post-conflict development. He supported every assertion with evidence and pure logic. Is there an antonym for “flog”? This guy was it. Absolute gentleman.
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
Great episode here. Both these blokes stepped up in a big way and jacko is unashamedly honest and forced the other dude to be genuine and stand up too. And sfter their beating they shook hands. Pure fucking class. Great interview
The part about taking sets on teams couldn’t be more true than today. Jacko would be livid with the preferential treatment of Nick Daicos and Curnow these days. Good interview
Everyone loves a character within footy clubs , but no one likes a wanker. Jacko was born with a lot of ability but never developed the trait of humility, which would have got in the way of him developing relationships with people who would have helped extend his career. You wouldn't have been able to give him instructions as a coach without being told where to go. I have to admit that he's right about a lot of things in regards to the media and the modern game. I'll give him that.
@@arlionheart9744 i think he easily could, and showed that with the stunts he pulled. I think he was morally enlightened enough not to do so. Good on him.
@@kalebarancelovic mate, which part of this interview did u watch? Almost all of that sorta behaviour was deliberate, because either in his eyes someone had it coming, or worse, they were a scummy nepotistic cunt choking the life outta the game - i woulda like to have known what exactly Mike did to Jacko to end his career, but I imagine Mike fits this description, as most journos, and certainly well-known highly-paid journos do
@@wheelson7895 it’s actually pretty damn smart of him. he points out how the AFL ruined australian rules football, and he’s right. we will never see players like Ablett and Lockett or Matthews again because the game has been dulled down so much and been changed for the sake of profits

This is the best interview ever! Jacko your a legend mate, VFL were lucky to have you and we were lucky to see you play. Cheers for everything mate Mark. 🇦🇺👍🏽
I became an VFL fan in the 80s watching here in the USA on espn. I totally dig the AFL. I watch the NFL season which goes perfectly into the AFL season. With the concussions from our football i see the AFL as the game that will last into the future. Yall got the future mates.
cheers man glad you enjoy AFL. hopefully you can attend a match - very very different to on TV. modern game is best viewed from directly behind goals and elevated too - like tennis. watching from the wings / side on is for the old days 👍
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.
Credit to Mike and producers that it went to air rather than bury it like some tv and radio like to do if it doesn't go according to some sort of script.
I’m from Wollongong - NSW and my best mate moved to Melbourne recently so I’m always down there and I’ve always loved AFL when I go down there and drink at pubs down there I talk to old blokes who all say the same thing. The games just not as good as it used to be.
Good on you Jacko for being totally honest and speaking your opinion so freely and not holding back , you waited years to let him have it! Shean is a weasel 👍 Alot of these media people are parasites writing lies and causing trouble to sell papers etc. 😤
I agree. Especially after watching the 1st round of the AFL season. Mutually exclusive to that segment ;football has become soft , players make so many errors & arent contsistsnt enough. Moreover; there is an alarming deficiency of character ; voiceing there honest niche of opinion & being agressive at the contest. Media analysis , AFL physchologits , vigorous fitness expectations & left wing agenda is solely to blame.
Why does the coach take a player off just after he has kicked a goal? that is when the goal kicker has the most confidence, then the coach takes him off, so stupid .
And anyone who says Garry Ablett Snr was just a full forward and so not as good as his son. 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. He more became a permanent full forward from 1993 onwards and his first three years there he kicked 100 goals each season three years in a row !
The story on how long before Ablett went full time to full forward is like the "once I caught a fish" story. It gets longer & longer every time it's told. By 2030 he woulda just moved down to FF in his last game as a chance to kick a few before retiring..🙄🙄🙄
My wife cooked his meal one time when he and Chopper Reid were doing a speaking tour, She was dead scared to go outside the kitchen. In the end Jacko came out the back and thanked her politely for the meal :0, She thinks he's a nice guy now. The Jacko people imagine he is. isn't who he is. For my point of view, even watching this. You can see he's hugely intelligent, incredible speed of mind.
He seems to be to be an extreme, extreme aggression at times, but extreme kindness at times. There are lots of people in our culture that way, I assume that he had some tough life experiences growing up.
A A are you drunk ? Oh the name speaks volumes! You’re dead wrong! There was probably 95% of honest truth spoken , that came from Jacko! And many or most who love the game would agree!
@@MrDokuritsu Get off the Piss Mate. He is just speaking the truth. And yes he is a top bloke when you met him in real life. He just has the balls to speak up and say it how it is when no one wants to talk up because they are to worry about the back lash!
@@FoLlOwThEwHiTeRaBbIt1 Hey I have no issue with people speaking their mind. But why be so embittered about it? And carry the baggage? And threaten people? I don't think those things are necessary. And rather than being a sign of strength, I see it as emotional weakness and fragility. 'Tact is the knack of making a point, without making an enemy'. Remember that quote from Isaac Newton.
I met jacko through a mate,Roger, he was a gentleman that night to my grandmother. She had a preconceived view of him the media created and he managed to turn her view. The media forget he was an honest man who does more for young players than all the show ponies combined. My hat off to him and his honesty.
Miss his personality I truely love his honest and personality. Just says it how it is. Gave the big egos a ruffle. Generations today could not ever comprehend him. Great man, wish he was still in tv especially afl. He has a lot to offer. HONESTY
I'm a Rugby League fan and it was players like Dermott Brereton, Tony Locket, Gary Ablett, Mark Jackson that made the game so interesting. Loved it!! Since then, haven't watched a game for years....Boring as!
I agree AFL has become a bit more boring in recent years, almost as boring as watching Rugby League. It needs to get back to its older style. Much more attractive game style.
Fuck - this is bringing back memories of how Aussies used to be, no soft watching what I say bs - just straight to the point and fuck whoever don't like it.
Go Jacko, this interview will have many critics, that's because most of our far to precious society can't handle the truth. They live in denial in their hypocritical little world, where they think they know best, yet look at what they're doing to this world and its people, what a mess. All I can say is, I identify with you in every way, you are completely correct with all you say, and the way you see things. More power to you.
@@jackmacfakie1387 No. Every man does NOT have a 'price'. You make it sound like anyone will eventually do any-thing for money. I have never been 'bought' in that respect, though some have tried, and would QUICKLY choose DEATH over many of the things people, as I stated, will do things for a fraction of whatever someone would try to 'sway' ME with. So, no, every man OR woman does not have 'a price'. I know that pop culture and the movies makes it SEEM that way. Worldly money is a common thing. I know that I am far from that. I know that THIS incarnation is but one of infinitesimal ones. THAT is what allows me to continue in this false world as myself. I WON'T, REFUSE to be 'bought'.
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.
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
Hahaha.. I was at that game. Our whole stand laughed, that's both Essendon and Melbourne supporters. The way the game is played now is a joke. 20 handballs to get out of a stoppage and then turn the ball over. I watch old classic games from the 80's and 90's sometimes and wish the AFL left the rules alone. It's not the old pure game anymore. Sad. Still love my club but get frustrated when I watch modern footy.
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.
Why does every couch potato think higher scoring = better???? I think you mean evolving, not revolving, ya fkn drongo. So back in the 80s, where it was all about kicking back and forth constantly like a game of ariel ping pong......wonder where that nickname came from.......that took more skill? I think you'd say the game is played faster now. And do you know if something is played faster, it gives the players less time to perfect execution of decision making & skill? Spoilers - it does.
Jacko actually talks a lot of sense! His delivery may not be to everyones liking but listen to what he has to say. Sheehan has made a career out of sitting in judgement over players but was never good enough himself to even get close! You only have to read articles written by someone like Robert Walls on football to see how little Sheehan actually knows about the game!
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.
Interesting to watch this interview given a certain passage of time. Jacko has been proven dead right. The AFL is nothing more than a politically correct piece of crap that governs over a game that has gone from the greatest test of skill and character, to one that caters for people who can run fast all day. What a goddamn shame.
a footballer whos a supreme athlete with good skill would give a footballer with just great skill a bath footballers today would kill footballers of the 80s and 90s

In the end Jacko came out the back and thanked her politely for the meal :0, She thinks he's a nice guy now. The Jacko people imagine he is. isn't who he is. For my point of view, even watching this. You can see he's hugely intelligent, incredible speed of mind.
He seems to be to be an extreme, extreme aggression at times, but extreme kindness at times.
There are lots of people in our culture that way, I assume that he had some tough life experiences growing up.
Incredible speed of mind? You are either in the slow lane or not listening to the rubbish that's coming out of his mouth !
A A are you drunk ? Oh the name speaks volumes! You’re dead wrong! There was probably 95% of honest truth spoken , that came from Jacko!
And many or most who love the game would agree!
@@MrDokuritsu Get off the Piss Mate.
He is just speaking the truth. And yes he is a top bloke when you met him in real life. He just has the balls to speak up and say it how it is when no one wants to talk up because they are to worry about the back lash!
@@FoLlOwThEwHiTeRaBbIt1 Hey I have no issue with people speaking their mind. But why be so embittered about it? And carry the baggage? And threaten people? I don't think those things are necessary. And rather than being a sign of strength, I see it as emotional weakness and fragility. 'Tact is the knack of making a point, without making an enemy'. Remember that quote from Isaac Newton.
He's an Individual.
you can't fool him
Hes an aboriginal
I met jacko through a mate,Roger, he was a gentleman that night to my grandmother. She had a preconceived view of him the media created and he managed to turn her view. The media forget he was an honest man who does more for young players than all the show ponies combined. My hat off to him and his honesty.
'This is my show today' love it
Well, that went pretty smoothly then...
This is the best interview I’ve ever seen with Mark Jackson and Mike Shian Daniel
Have watched three minutes thus far and I must say I am liking the rawness
Greatest interview in Australian sports history
Jacko spoke a lot of home truths . Extremely honest.
This is a classic confrontational interview. If this was with one of the American sports this would’ve become world famous
Miss his personality I truely love his honest and personality. Just says it how it is.
Gave the big egos a ruffle.
Generations today could not ever comprehend him. Great man, wish he was still in tv especially afl. He has a lot to offer. HONESTY
Well done Mark for calling Sheehan out. You and John Lydon seem so similar and speak truth and from the heart, also a pioneer of the great game.
I felt Jacko clammed up a little during this interview .
Interesting conversation no doubt. Mark sure puts his points across well. Very funny guy. 😂
I'm a Rugby League fan and it was players like Dermott Brereton, Tony Locket, Gary Ablett, Mark Jackson that made the game so interesting. Loved it!!
Since then, haven't watched a game for years....Boring as!
The aesthetics of the game have improved but the personalities have been gagged. This is the era of political correctness.
SANFL had its hardened pro footy players ....connection to WAFL, NTFL, the entire continent....same level as VFL
I agree AFL has become a bit more boring in recent years, almost as boring as watching Rugby League. It needs to get back to its older style. Much more attractive game style.
Yes it's even worse now games are hard to watch now
Jacko still keeps gong and going and going like an Energizer battery OI!!!
Love him, man speaks the truth!
Ledgen Jacko...should be pm
Jacko: “Do you wanna hear the circumstances around that?”
Mike: “Yep”
Jacko: “Well I’m not gonna tell ya, cos it’s waste of time!”
I’m using that
I'm so using that also
Too clever for you Sheehan, just had your loose arse handed to you, and Jacko exposed you the general public, i had tears in my eyes.
I work for a living. Brilliant jacko is spot on
Fuck - this is bringing back memories of how Aussies used to be, no soft watching what I say bs - just straight to the point and fuck whoever don't like it.
Go Jacko, this interview will have many critics, that's because most of our far to precious society can't handle the truth. They live in denial in their hypocritical little world, where they think they know best, yet look at what they're doing to this world and its people, what a mess.
All I can say is, I identify with you in every way, you are completely correct with all you say, and the way you see things.
More power to you.
*too precious
Haven’t come across one critic in the comments yet
Outstanding interview. Respect for both Mike and Jacko
Luv Jacko. He says it how it is. He is his own man. Cannot be brought or corrupted.
I definitely reckon he could be bought, he’s a fuckwit
There are very, VERY few who cant be bought. Most cheaply.
@@tacticalix Every man has his price. And the incorruptible man has the highest price of all. - Swift
@@jackmacfakie1387 No. Every man does NOT have a 'price'. You make it sound like anyone will eventually do any-thing for money. I have never been 'bought' in that respect, though some have tried, and would QUICKLY choose DEATH over many of the things people, as I stated, will do things for a fraction of whatever someone would try to 'sway' ME with. So, no, every man OR woman does not have 'a price'. I know that pop culture and the movies makes it SEEM that way. Worldly money is a common thing. I know that I am far from that. I know that THIS incarnation is but one of infinitesimal ones. THAT is what allows me to continue in this false world as myself. I WON'T, REFUSE to be 'bought'.
@@tacticalix Chill out, it's a quote from Swift that's a few hundred years old. I'll take his wisdom over yours champ.
Mike was excellent in the way he handled Jacko here.
jacquelineandron I reckon mike could have walked out and jacko wouldn’t have shut up
Indeed
He’s got his reasons.
Mike’s interviewing him for this reason.
You sound like a school teacher, who handled who
You're kidding if you don't see this is staged
"You're a pollutant." LOL. Mark Jackson has a colorful way with words. Today the AFL needs more people like Mark Jackson.
they’d never be drafted. Gill McLaughlin wouldn’t allow it
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.
Jacko should have played in the SANFL, the thought of him at Norwood with Garry McIntosh, would of been brutal.
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
Kevin Pearson very accurate assessment
Hahaha.. I was at that game. Our whole stand laughed, that's both Essendon and Melbourne supporters. The way the game is played now is a joke. 20 handballs to get out of a stoppage and then turn the ball over. I watch old classic games from the 80's and 90's sometimes and wish the AFL left the rules alone. It's not the old pure game anymore. Sad. Still love my club but get frustrated when I watch modern footy.
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.
@@sobored9317 i don't think so
Why does every couch potato think higher scoring = better????
I think you mean evolving, not revolving, ya fkn drongo.
So back in the 80s, where it was all about kicking back and forth constantly like a game of ariel ping pong......wonder where that nickname came from.......that took more skill?
I think you'd say the game is played faster now. And do you know if something is played faster, it gives the players less time to perfect execution of decision making & skill? Spoilers - it does.
Hes nuts but an extremely smart bloke
bloody funny one liners , couldnt teach pigs to be dirty , couldnt get a kick in a gang fight ,
Jacko you are a legend.....and honest which people hate.
If he was my dad I would be one of the proudest people alive.
💯 Jacko helped build the game he was 1 of the biggest stars the game had at that period without a doubt.
Absolute gold got to love some of the quotes
Jacko actually talks a lot of sense! His delivery may not be to everyones liking but listen to what he has to say. Sheehan has made a career out of sitting in judgement over players but was never good enough himself to even get close! You only have to read articles written by someone like Robert Walls on football to see how little Sheehan actually knows about the game!
And how do you think Mark would've faired as a journalist?
This is one of the greatest interviews I’ve ever seen! ...and I don’t even like AFL
I am from Queensland and I played Rugby League. I love Jacko! Real aussie
Loved Jacko in the 80s, respect him even more after this interview watching him as an adult. Sure he's unhinged, but truth isn't always pretty.
Well that escalated quickly 🤣🤣🤣 I'm not a sycophant
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.
it went well I’m pretty sure it was pre-arranged.
@@kaynebegbie6800 pre arranged?
Mark Jacko's a top bloke and a good mate . Met him at Warehouse Nite club . He had a really nice Lamborghini Jalpa .
He is not
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.
Jacko is a true blue Aussie FIGHTER, pity the game and media were so intimidated by the MASTER.
Carat Cranker He is a tosser....
JACKOOOOOOO hahah what a fuckin icon! Couldnt coach pigs to be dirty hahahaha
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.
He is spot on! No character anymore...just like education.
Interesting to watch this interview given a certain passage of time. Jacko has been proven dead right. The AFL is nothing more than a politically correct piece of crap that governs over a game that has gone from the greatest test of skill and character, to one that caters for people who can run fast all day. What a goddamn shame.
a footballer whos a supreme athlete with good skill would give a footballer with just great skill a bath footballers today would kill footballers of the 80s and 90s
@@sebfrancis2397 you have no idea mate
cool story man. It’s great in soccer when an Italian player goes down gut shot cause a bit of air touched him. what a fucked sport
@@porkchop500 ahahaha great argument you helmet, you Don’t understand evolution so either ur 40-50 and glorify 80s and 90s footy or your dad has told you stories and you think they were anything more than vfl players now
@@porkchop500 my mate plays 1s consistently and goes to training once a week if he worked on his game and body for 6 months he’d at the level of the best players of the 80s
Definitely an individual ❤...
Congratulations jacko 👏👏👏
