    Jason Akermanis will take pay cut to play on

    * Eliza Sewell, * From: MX * September 24, 2009 3:32PM



    WESTERN Bulldogs veteran Jason Akermanis says he'll play on next year for "whatever's left", with the club set to shell out a load of cash to secure Sydney bad boy Barry Hall and out-of-contract defender Brian Lake.

    Bulldogs footy manager James Fantasia said the club would sit down with Sydney to nut out a deal expected to see Hall play at the Whitten Oval for the next two seasons.

    Akermanis, who is out of contract but wants to play on next year, said he was willing to wait until the club had done a deal with Hall , and had re-contracted All-Australian Lake before he signed on again.

    Harness and respect his energy and eccentricities and he is the best team player you could wish for. Brisbane just couldn't see what a quality guy he is. Top notch Jason!

    It's like going back 50 years, good on ya Aker! To not care what they pay him but just to play footy and get into a Grand Final.

    He's got what most player lack in the league: HEART!
    Playing for the club and to win at what ever cost. I love that these players 'want' to play for the Dogs. That's what's so good about Hall, he doesn't just want a club to go through the motions with, he wants to play for the Red White & Blue!
    Good on ya Aker!

    Aker's intentions appear to be spot on. I suspect that he really wants another flag

    This story is a bit surprising considering what I heard today.

    I hope he is true to his word.

    Just that he might want more than 'whatever is left'.

    Perhaps he changed his mind.

    Who knows, not sure you can take what he says on NOVA as true. I think most things Akermanis says needs to be with a cup full of salt.

    How much more might he want?

    Might have realised a chance at a flag with the Dogs is better than sitting in the commentary box or running around with Freo.

    I am guessing he wants something in between "what's left" and the big coin he was on.

    You would assume so.
