Please, slap me if im wrong, but watching the last 3 freo games on TV, Slappo has probably been the best commentator ive heard in ages. not so much in the quality of his words, but he has not baged us out.

even today in the derby he has been been very non-biased. i admit, he finds it tough to make a sentence, but the last 2 weeks he has been fair - even in parts of the gae when we've been losing. All you can ask from the commentaters really

well done jako
 
You got to remember that slapo is a freo boy himself!

I would never expect bias commentary from him.
 
Quality South Fremantle product.

He had some corking one liners today that are written up on his thread in the media board.

I loved the bit about him defending Hase when he was prepping Cox's face for some surgery.

Jako defends the South Freo boys at all costs. He is loyal to his WAFL club beyond all reason (given that he didn't play that much of his career there)

The fact that they've usually been the worst players for us probably means he's defending us more than he should!
 
I said to my wife today how much I like Jacko and what a bad rap he gets here and the other place. It's already been said, he is FAIR, gives credit where it's due and doesn't make excuses for West Coast. Liam w***ering couldn't wait to dance on our grave today and almost choked on his own vomit trying to say something nice about us after the game.

Pickering is a knob of the highest order.

Jako might stumble with English and be an Eagle, but he's better than half the muppets out there.
 
Slapo the closet Docker hehe..
He has definitely been biased toward us for the last few games but I thought he would turncoat for this game but alas..........no, he jumped on our bandwagon.

Aye what happens in Freo stays in Freo :p

This is what I thought...

You never know with him.

I reckon he still has massive issues with west coast. Especially the not getting the captaincy over "drug issues" in favour of Benny thing, when he probably knew what was actually going on...
 
What a joke of a thread. You blokes like him this week because it sounded like he was going for Freo? That is __ing sad.

The fact is he can barely string a sentence together. He makes his living out of just yelling out names of players who are ahead of the ball, it is pathetic.

Embley! Grover! BIRDMAN! Joke.

Bunch of keeno's

Slapovich influenza. I've caught the same virus.

Was thinking of starting a thread myself about getting on a Slappo bandwagon.
Never thought I'd see the day. :confused:
 
Duffman and Thornton were obviously good today but it shits me that Slappo talks up the South Freo players even when they're mediocre.

Why because he gave us some compliments? FFS he is payed to commentate and as bluto mentioned all he does is blurt out the name of the player that is about to receive the footy. Shit shit commentator.
 
Last week he trashed Sandi for not going back and having a set shot instead of playing on from the fifty(the one on the line),he said he kicked it from two steps but it was four steps(proper lead up steps to a kick)and if he knew anything about him he couldn't of made the distance from the 55 mtrs he would of been.
FFS! some of you are easy to please.he is and always will be crap.Goddam I hate it when he sucks in his dribble or whatever he is doing making that noise.

He's still learning the caper and whilst struggling from time to time, he's never bagged us out and calls it the way he see's it.I can live with that and there's a lot worse out there than him.

Give him a go, he might surprise you!

He has been commentating for at least four years...learning the caper? Must be nice to have a job where you can still be sh*t after four years and be given the benefit of the doubt.

He has bagged us out many times, but that is not the point. The point is that he can barely pronounce words with more than two syllables and just plain sucks at commentating.

Calls it the way he sees it...yes, he certainly does just yell out things that he sees. Bravo.
 
I'll admit that compared to most commentators he is very unbiased. However he is still one of the worst commentators out there, he never seems to say anything insiteful and some of what he does say is incorrect. Can't say i rate him much

Not even close.
This is the first year i've bothered to record and then watch the games after the event.
Over the previous weeks when he has done special comments/commentary he sounded as though he was talking about our team/game without the bias we have been used to.
With his Eagle background it became a real shock when I thought he was being balanced and objective about our team.
What he says might not be what you want to hear but i reckon he's smarter than I ever gave him credit for.
