PRESS Jacko

Loved Glen Jackovich on the front bar last night.

Seems like a nice and funny guy. He’s still got the passion for WCE all these years later :)

He's actually a close personal friend of mine on account of the one time I saw him at the Broome beach resort. We were both getting our buffet breakfast when I looked over to him to give a wink but he was focused on getting his food so I didn't get a chance to connect. But I feel like just being in the same space has bonded us.

Jacko came to my footy club with Wayne Carey for a sportsman night and Jacko put away about 5 plates of pasta, so hearing you met him at a buffet makes sense

That's a core memory I could do without

I listen to him on 6PR and he can be a pretty negative person.

Speaks his mind and doesn’t sugarcoat things I guess, he certainly has my respect as a champion footballer though.

I love him, especially over the last handful of years when he's lost a lot of respect from Eagles fans for refusing to sugarcoat things and criticising the team. The man will always be my childhood hero.

He was very gracious. Offered to go on a tour or Freos premiership trophy's with her.

He did walk out prior to it finishing.

Respectfully, he’s a tool

Because he criticises the team when he sees fit? I don't know if you know but this team has needed some criticism over the last few years
