Open Mike

Looks cooked. If he's not that's a bigger concern.

[Magellan]

publicity stunt by Jacko. Probably releasing a book soon, you watch.

Very likely. Mind you, they should probably interview the person who wrote it, not Jacko.

Mark ‘Jacko’ Jackson launches verbal attack on Mike Sheahan during filming of ‘Open Mike’

MARK “Jacko” Jackson has launched an extraordinary verbal attack on Mike Sheahan during the filming of the latest episode of Fox Footy’s ‘Open Mike’ show.

Jackson became abusive towards Sheahan as soon as filming started yesterday which set the tone for a tense and awkward interview.

The final product, which insiders say will shock many people, will be shown on Tuesday night.

There has been tension between the pair for a long time but the actions of the former Melbourne, St Kilda and Geelong wild man stunned everyone on the studio floor.

He told Sheahan immediately as the cameras started rolling that he “hated him” which set the tone for the confrontational interview.

Jackson claimed the former Herald Sun chief football writer had ended too many careers and that he’d been waiting for years for the opportunity to have a crack at the veteran journalist.

Speaking on Friday morning, Sheahan said he was still “a bit shell-shocked” from the encounter.

“Fox management were keen for me to talk to Jacko, I must say I wasn’t quite as enthusiastic but we all do what we are told,” he told Triple M.

“As soon as we did the intro he just launched. He unleashed this fury that had been building for 30-years. I’m a big boy and I’ve been in confrontations before but probably not to this level.

“It is unsettling to hear someone say that no-one respects you or likes you. Not withstanding the fact that I knew there was history between us.”

“It was pure fury in a verbal sense.”

Renowned for his erratic behaviour on and off the field, Jackson played 82 games before retiring in 1986 and embarking on a singing and acting career.

What I find funny is that even though Jacko really hates Sheahan, and has done so for decades, he still accepted the invitation to go onto the telly and be interviewed. I guess when your greatest claim to fame is a bunch of thirty year old Energizer ads, plus under-achievements in footy, singing, and acting, you'll do anything to convince yourself (and the public) you're an important as you think you are.

I listened to the whole audio interview on MMM last week and Mike reckons it was his aim to let lose at him and was just waiting for the opportunity to do so. Probably the reason he accepted

I lasted 10 minutes. He's a cockhead. It's cringeworthy.

[The Dark Knight]

Yep he's dead set crazy!

[mighty hounds]

Mark Jackson is cooked. What a flog

[LaughingKookaburra]

Goes touring the country after he records a hit single and gets offended by interstate players who played in the VFL and bagged the shit of it after they move back home in the papers. Bags the shit out of 4 VFL clubs all through the interview. Makes sense.

Dead set spastic!

Mark Jackson is cooked. What a flog

Definitely went too far,especially with his constant personal attacks on Mike Sheahan.

Sad thing is, he actually made a few good and valid points during all the ranting, just did not get the message across very well at all. Remember when he played for Melbourne and they were bottom, people only went to their games to see Jacko play, and all his antics!

[bennymacca]

That was like a car crash. Couldn't look away.

Mike did a great job of trying to keep it on track

[Dutchy]

Ordinary, probably shouldn't have shown it but I guess they were compelled to air it

[Jim05]

Absolute looney but amongst all the babble he made a few good points.
Still think a lot of it is an act as ive seen him at sportsmans nights and he is able to have genuine conversations

[mighty_tiger_79]

Watched about 10mins of the Geelong legend.
Look forward to watching it in full in the morning

Yep if it's not written in crayon then Jacko didn't write it

[Jase]

I thought it was a great episode... you look past all the bluster and he makes excellent points regarding skills, characters, AFL rules etc...

Sure he's mad as a cut snake but he's smarter than most people think...

[LaughingKookaburra]

Just out of curiosity what club has folded in Broken Hill?
