    I wish he would just shut up but I'm not sure if he is off the mark or not with this issue.

    There's a difference between making comments we don't like & being a malicious muckraker who's factually incorrect!

    Whether his comments are correct or not I'm not sure why we give a toss. Most of the posts i read say 'shut up aker' like he is doing a good job at getting under our skin. To me he is like that mate that everyone has that likes to rile you up by saying how crap we are or how we won't be around in 20 years. That stuff got under my skin when I was at high school but now if that person wants to say shit about the club I worship just to get a response out of me, then its just not worth responding to.

    Did you bother to read the article that Flamethrower posted or are you happy to just swallow whatever Aker says?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    What a cock!

    The last thing we need is another slow player who can't chase or get a kick.

    Aker is never going to shut up - now that he is working for that crap radio station where they pay him to be opinionated. For me, the more he opens his mouth, the further he digs a hole for himself.

    I think we have stepped back from making any real criticism of the Domes surface
    I was not at all surprised as they have us by the "goolies" as do the AFL.

    You should know that by now comrade.

    Andrew made his mind up long ago that Aker was the poor victim in all of this. Nothing will change his mind.

    I thought we had made an official complaint too. I remember the AFL doing something when Chris Judd got injured, and hadn't when Shaun Higgins did.

    Thanks for the post Flamethrower.

    Get your FACTS right Aker.

    We did put in an official compliant to Dome management, so Aker is off the mark here.
