Im half way through the game and he is no different,FFS defending Hunter and Wirra kicking it OOB under little pressure because there was no options:DCox missed 5 targets as well and sweet FA.Duffield dives in and creates a contest on the ground,nothing.Masten does it a couple of minutes later and its great.He reckon Lynch was kicking to space from 70mtrs,yet I thought as most he was shooting at an empty goal square

Jacko has softened over the years, 3 years ago he was horrible. Maybe after not enough Weagles players helped him with his book signings (still remember seeing him alone at a bookstore when he was supposed to be signing autographs) he started being a bit more balanced.
 
Must admit I'm warming to Jako. His heart's in the right place even if the connection between his brain and his mouth isn't quite all there.

Jacko is alright, he has a soft spot for us.

I never used to think that was the case but I watched the replay today and if you didn't know any better you'd swear he was an ex-Freo player rather than an eagle.

I don't know what the evil corporation has done to piss him off but he has certainly softened towards us lately.

I think the fallout from 2007 shook up a lot of Eagles fans.

It goes further than that.

Jako was known to be seriously pissed off, and rightly so, as he was dumped from the leadership group, and overlooked as captain in favour of Cousins. Ironically because jako was thought to be the "cause" of the problems. Obviously that looks like a nonsense now.

2007 would have been the crucible for all those feelings I would imagine.
 
Jako... I love the intent even if the execution leaves a fair bit to be desired.

It's just refreshing to listen to someone who doesn't dismiss us as a perennial cellar dweller and treat us with disrespect. I think he is one of the only callers who knows our team well. Hell, he's probably one of the only commentators who even takes the time to watch our games. I won't be disappointed at all if he calls all of our games for the rest of the season. It's nice to feel like one of the callers is on your side.

yup definately in the last couple of years. I used to think he was on par with Peter Wilson for bias.

exactly. Its embarrassing to watch a game and the victorian coaches don't have a clue who half our players are. And now that Cometti rarely commentates freo games, it means that Jako is about the only guy in our corner (i reckon Shauny Mac will end up in the box at some point though)

Oh yeah hes good alright,Solllie takes a mark steps back has plenty of thinking time then kicks it almost straight out of bounds and what did he say "Thats because of the pressure from the E-Girls":thumbsu::D
 
the only person i would consider just walking up to and punching in the face with the aim to shatter a jaw, is glen jackovich.... the guy is the most biased incoherrent knob in the history of world sport, i HATE his commentary, and the fact that everything about the guy represents what i hate in footy, makes me pretty much want to smash a tv whenever i hear his whinny, incoherrent, biased dribble. Fcuk off jackovich for good! :mad:

I don't mind Jako.

But don't listen on the radio whatever you do. Duffield and Langdon. :thumbsd:

Duffield? :confused:


It's usually Mark "I hate Freo" Readings, and Nob Langdon; together with Rob Wiley who usually gives us a pretty good rap - highlights the positives as well as the negatives when we deserve it - and is pretty much unbiased in his commentary.


Since when has it been Duffield? :confused:

Duffield does some radio work, usually pretty good.

Readings is shithouse.

Duffield does Saturday mornings on peearrgh, always comes across as very level headed and even, and someone who has an astute and reasonably articulate knowledge of the game. But he doesn't commentate. Does he?


Surely, raffrox must have meant Readings. He does the Subi games and sticks the boots even more than Langdon does. :thumbsd:
 
I'd put money that management have pulled him aside and suggested he attempt to commentate from a neutral position....

If only someone would do the same with Karl Langdon...The last few freo games we lost at home, he'd start commenting on half the crowd leaving when no such thing happend...His disrespect for freo run's deep.

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

agree with all of this... worst commentator ever. he makes our games very hard to watch
 
Yep, I agree too.

I'd take a biased, but intelligent commentator with a vocabulary any day of the week over an "unbiased" idiot.

I don't care what Jako thinks of Freo. He (along with Tony Shaw) is the worst "special comments man" on TV by a very big margin. He makes Don Scott look good!:eek:

How he gets a gig is beyond me.

I take my footy seriously, so I expect those involved in the game (from the board to the clubs to the media) to take the game very seriously too. Anyone who employs Glen Jakovich in the media is surely taking the piss.
 
I think people underestimate (or don't appreciate) the comedic relief of Jako. If you try not to take things so seriously, listening to him call games is quite funny. Sure he is a terrible commentator and a buffoon, but I would think his employers are fully aware of that.

"Kicked it!" "Missed it!" "They're on here!"
