    Re: 'They did not want my help': Jason Akermanis

    Heard Ricky Oalrenshaw on SEN who was rather scathing on Aker's inability to listen to anyone. He was warned on not appearing on Morning Brekky show in that the need to gather ratings and headlines would be detrimental.I hear he's managed by the lapsed Richmond fan shock jock Steve Price. Also Oalrenshaw thinks that he should let the dust settle then comment,but I guess it's impossible for Jason to just shut the F*** up!

    Agreed...mental fortitude hasn't been a hallmark of our season thus far.

    I heard Ricky O on Gold 104, and the main theme of the discussion was all the work he'd done with Aker. He went through the great things he'd done for him. If Aker was getting humility lessons from him, it was the wrong person!

    He probably does have mates at the club but this wasnt about mates this was a professional talk on the club and whats best for it.
    Obviously all the problems that were from him meant they as a team couldnt have him
    anymore.
    Depending on how the meetings were held (and being 3 of them), I would say by the third one it had got to unanimous, his mates couldnt defend him after 2 times.
    How many times can you defend a mate after 2 times being pulled in to line?
    I have no doubt his mates stuck up for him in 2 meetings but after 3 times its pretty much all over red rover.
    Also like to add after 2 times getting his mates to defend him dont you think you would help your mates and not put them in that position 3 times?
    The meetings would have been fact driven so in the end even mates have no choice.
