Jason Akermanis tells GWS: I'm your man

Who next? Capper?

Ward is going to regret being so greedy and joining this circus.

In defence of GWS Akermanis appears to be the one making the headlines and they clearly are trying to distance themselves from him.

His view of himself must be so far from reality, you would hope that someone around him would actually pull him up and give him a dose of reality.

You read this article and can't help but shake your head at how warped he is, criticizing the same players he is trying to make case to play with.

I love it whan Akermanis opens his mouth because it continues to reinforce the decision we made to sack him mid-season. What gets lost amid the Akermanis headlines was that we had him under relative control (and playing as team-oriented a brand of football as is humanly possible for such a personality type) for 3 full seasons. Had we got over the line in the 09 GF and somehow pinched a premiership, it would have ended up one of the great stories of all time. Now it is a demented side-show.

Aker obviously wants a third clubs supporter base to dislike him.

I'd love it if he played for GWS, he'd find another club to shit all over once he's out stayed his welcome.

Aker, Fev and Andrew Lovett all to GWS

Personality disorder? Maladaptive schema? Psycology students, take your pick!

In my (admittedly small amount of) experience I think Aker displays all the characteristics of a classic narcissist.

Sheedy rules out Hall, Mooney and Aker

Sheedy rules out Hall, Mooney and Aker

Reading this it is more Hall and Mooney ruling out GWS and another grinding season.

I'd like to make fun of this but I just find it so sad...what a sad way for a former game great to be acting. It seems like a hopeless cry for attention and relevance...

Couldn't agree with you more Mike, a part of me wants to scoff but it is really sad that a Brownlow Medalist feels the need to do this. Surely it's all about retiring from the game with good grace - oh, what's that you say, oh yeah, we are talking about Aker, aren't we?

Grace and Aker are as mutually exclusive as Aker and team were.
