Really disappointing.
Always been a big Aker fan and was over the moon when we signed him to the Dogs. I really hope things can turn around and he can be a big part of our Premiership push, but it's really looking unlikely.
Still think he's done this club more good than harm. Seems he went on for a year too long but I hope this doesn't turn into a verbal storm after he's finished.
The best thing he can do for himself is to get his body right, get some form in the VFL and finish off his career in better form than last year.
Leave on a high so that all will remember that he was a very good player.
Don't piss off old people
The older we get the less "LIFE IN PRISON" is a deterrent...
Interesting grab from Eade on the Channel 2 news, he was at a press conferance and was told what Aker said about being in the top 10,8, 5 players at the club. Eade went on to say something along the lines
I guess theres a bit of a reality check in there.
Day by day it may just get harder and harder for Akermanis to play senior AFL football again.
Once again Jason is being hung out to dry by the scumbag media misquoting him.
I listened to Jason on MTR this morning and he said that at his best he is in our best 15, probably even our best 10 and maybe our best 5.
Yeah, look I agree with this. . Hey, he didn't lure anyone back to his apartment and try partner swapping or anything like that now did he ( Halo slipping saints!).
The game is a bit more interesting with characters like him around, love him or hate him.
Youtube, highlights reel for reminders on the kind of player we are talking about. Maybe not top 5, but certainly in our best 22.
A very reasonable article, I thought. To those bagging him for the perceived over-use of personal pronouns - the articles are written by him, about his experiences. He has to use "I" and "me"! He's also been isolated from the group, and I don't blame him for feeling it. If he wrote an article using 'them', 'they' , people would accuse him of being bitter, laying blame etc.

Aker, if you do happen to read this, it's time to give the media away till October and start thinking about "US". It's not Me Myself & I. It's about the team. Your so called "Team Mates & The Club & Supporters"
I for one would love to see Aker back at his explosive best, But I do believe it is time he had a rest from the media, and concentrated on being an integral part of OUR TEAM
