No problems with Schofield. He is a commentator, not there to pretend.
If anything he hasn’t been hard enough on us.

This is 100% it for me too.For me it's less about the intentionally lopsided nature of his commentary, and more that he has a habit of questioning 50/50 umpire calls in our favour and advocating for 50/50 umpire calls for the opposition.
Everyone knows umpiring is a raffle. It's the decision to insert himself as an arbiter of truth in those moments that can become frustrating. Just as Pav's habit is always highlighting the negative element of any piece of play we make.
YepCornes literally said no one tried to reel Reid in. Did he even look at the conversation yeo was having with him?
I wish commentators just called the free kick and didn't give us their opinion on if it was warranted. The ones they choose to complain about and the ones where they remain mute just exposes their biases.For me it's less about the intentionally lopsided nature of his commentary, and more that he has a habit of questioning 50/50 umpire calls in our favour and advocating for 50/50 umpire calls for the opposition.

I think I'm in the minority that has no issue with Schoey. Having said that, I'm in that camp with Kane as well, so maybe it says something about me haha.

I find it odd that Reid is being criticised for being distracted when i would’ve thought he’d be congratulated for battling through the pre planned physical attention to get 29 possessions and an equal game high 10 clearances. Not only that but as a 19 year old stood up to being targeted to give back as good as he got
The more players with his combative attitude we get on the list the better. No wonder Jarrad Schofieldwas full of praise for him after the matchPLAYERCARDSTARTJarrad Schofield

There were more seagulls (real seagulls, not daicos) on screen than fans in the crowd.View attachment 2061153
Been a fair bit of chat in this forum about 'AFL can't let eagles suffer too long they need the eagles supporter base, tv viewership etc'. Absolute codswallop -
The eagles being down 20-30 thousand at games pales an absolute insignificance to a Victorian team pulling ~15K (instead of 70k when they are winning). The eagles getting 30-40k at games would be the absolute least of the AFL's issues, (Freo going well for crowd numbers would easily make up the deficit)
Watched a bit of this game pre derby and honestly the seagulls made more noise than the crowd at times, not a good look for the AFL.
His coach summed it up pretty well.A distracted Harley still gets 29 touches and is one of our most influential players.
The fact is that he is a different beast than the AFL is used to - he thrives in the contest and physicality. Cornes and the other fools in the media need to get used to what he's going to bring to the game.
It's a contest - he is a combative weapon. We have plenty of less combative players - but he is our best since Nic.That’s not the point. Did he play to his best and could he have done more had he not gotten involved in argy bargy?
We don’t want to remove him being combative as that is also what gives him drive. Just be more selective.
I imagine Schofield is a perfect foil for him being a man who wouldn’t take a step back himself.
Bigger issue with Schofield is he just can't shut the **** up. Freo were all over us second half, it's not bias to point that out.I think I'm in the minority that has no issue with Schoey. Having said that, I'm in that camp with Kane as well, so maybe it says something about me haha.
