I have a theory I wanted to float the boat with.
I couldn't be arsed re-hashing an old thread, so I made a newie.
Basically I believe its cos of his Fathers name and rep that Pearceorf is judged so harshly in comparison to most other players.
Both in the media and by our fan base.
Think about it, if his name was Snitzel Raper, he'd be a chip off the old larrikin block. He would be praised for being a throwback to an old era.
But being his fathers son he is expected and judged against Waynes almost Saintly rep.
I have heard many compare his behaviour to his fathers. And IMO that's just as wrong as comparing names when it comes to ability. And that is common with the bloke also.
Also the fact Wayne sits on The Partnership Committee. or whatever that thingy is called. must work against him, punishment wise. I mean imagine Pearceorf received a soft punishment, that would instantly open a can of fave worms. Even worse than he has copped for the harsh penalty imposed.
I find it highly bizzaro that in the same week as Pearceorf copping a whopper of a penalty for nothing, JT and Gallen, two individuals with very chequered pasts, receive 5 year contracts to work with Channel 9.
I have no man love for Pearceorf. I am aware of his limitations and abilities as a player. I am not in the hate class of some cereal beaters. But if as a club we decide to not renew his contract I will not complain. I have always supported the thing above the left tit, not an individual.
I just hate the moral indignation of the whole situation. The hypocracy reeks. Some massive agendas being pushed from many angles.
Its not very Easts or RL to be such a softcoq IMO.
GO EASTS.
