    Re: Aker blasts Eade's 'double standard' on Cooney injury

    Aker has failed to do his homework on this as stated the club lodged an official complaint ! I just love it how Aker is "entitled to his opinion " yet it doesn't seem to concern him or his lessoning cheer squad whether he's right or wrong!I know radio titanic needs some ratings but can the potty mouth twerp get his facts right.

    Btw I'm just looking for Western Bulldogs/Footscray in the death notices. Honestly the media negativity is in overdrive

    Yes, I was agreeing with Flamethrowers post & link that we had put in a complaint. I also meant that the AFL didn't seem to do much until Judd got injured. Sorry, the written word can be so confusing!!

    Andrew made his mind up long ago that Aker was the poor victim in all of this. Nothing will change his mind.
    Thanks, but I don't need anyone to speak on my behalf. I'm sorry for having a different opinion. I'll try to make sure I don't disagree with the general population again.

    You really are quite petulant at times. Its all good & well to have an opinion, but surely even you should be able to concede Aker is off the mark here.

    Aker spoke about Eade's reaction to the Higgins injury. At the time, Eade was rather diplomatic in not pointing the finger (unlike Aker, who willingly points it). Yes, The Club put complaints in, but Rocket himself was very non-committal.

    After Cooney's injury, he came out and directly blamed the SCG surface. That is what I believe Aker is referring to with his "double standard" line. A bit like his own double standard in calling Johnno selfish for playing hurt after admitting he'd done the same thing early in the year. Anyway, main point wasn't Aker's honesty - it was that if someone else had made the same comments, the reaction would be very different.

    Maybe I'll just lurk from hereon, unless I'm certain my views are in agreeance with others.

    It's stuff like that that's not really needed Andrew. A very Aker like comment on your behalf.

    We've just lost our best player two weeks out from finals - do you blame him for being a touch more forthright?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Especially after nothing was done last time he complained.

    Say what you feel Andrew. I may not always agree, however I am still interested in what you have to say.

    Oh I thought Ian Collins' response was perfectly reasonable - we should be thankful the turf shifts around like it does, or Shaun might've broken his ankle.

    I could dedicate an expletive laden diatribe to that sub-human prick, but this site's above it.

    Nobody else made those comments, what does that tell you?

    I just looked at it as though the club & Eade were frustrated, having seen another player go down. They thought that it was another surface issue & this time felt the need to publicly point it out, nothing more.
