In today's 'The Age', Gordon labelled the book a 'tantrum in paperback', saying 'it's like a grown man sitting in a giant cot and clanging his keyboard against the sides and demanding attention'.
Gordon says 'like a crazed Dick Cheney, Aka wanders through its pages taking pot shots at anything that moves'.
The Western Bulldogs asked Gordon to read the book, 'Open Season' ahead of its release on Friday, and offer legal advice.
Speaking to MTR, Akermanis claims Gordon has no right to critique his book.
"I don't know Peter," Akermanis said.
"In the years you sort of see him floating around, but I don't even think I've spoken to him. So now this guy is going to write, become this book critic. It doesn't make any sense."
"Anything that you could possibly get negative, he's just gone 'yes'."
"He's made a big deal out of everything, that he would be as a Bulldogs supporter, remotely interested in. He hasn't talked about all the other issues that are in there."
This actually happened? I swear I was just going to commend you on what a good parody of Aker's standard reaction it was. Why is it that every time he's criticized the person has no right or doesn't know him but Aker can comment on anything he likes.

A great article.
You don't see anything as direct as this article is very often. It's game on Jason, retaliate if you dare.

Sort of relevant:
MTR sheds a quarter of its audience
Struggling right-wing broadcaster MTR has shed a quarter of its average audience and has again claimed the title of Melbourne's lowest-ratings station.
MTR now has an average of just 6000 listeners — down from 8000 — and attracts only 1.1 per cent of the available audience, according to this morning's Nielsen report.
Program director and breakfast host Steve Price said he was disappointed but "determined to make it work".

there is another article just right there for Aker to write.
Re: Aka's book nothing more than a nasty little rant
I have always regarded Aker as one of the best players I've seen, and I was hoping he would help bring a premiership to the Doggies.
Very disappointing that it's all turned out as badly as it has.
Sadly, the tool he was at Brisbane is the same tool he's been with us.
Shame of it all is that he still can't see that!

It bought a tear to my eye. Well said Peter.
