Re: Jason Akermanis back in the doghouse
Akermanis, Bulldogs clash again
Peter Hanlon - The Age - 15 July
THE turbulent relationship between Jason Akermanis and the Western Bulldogs shows no signs of abating, with the Brownlow medallist's anticipated recall to the senior team believed to have been stalled by a breach of confidence that has again put player and club at odds.
Coach Rodney Eade said yesterday he had been pleased with Akermanis's form and workrate in two games while serving a club-imposed sanction with Williamstown, but there were ''a couple of things that he just needs to work on'' which would stay between him and Akermanis.
Eade cautioned that they were ''not issues, just some things that need tweaking''. He would not stipulate whether the tweaks were needed on or off-field.

Can anyone confirm this?
This part of the article in pertinent I think:
'Concerns over the latter would not have been eased by a rant from Sam Newman on The Footy Show last week, in which he criticised the manner in which Akermanis was made to front the playing group last month. Newman called on Adam Cooney - a panellist - to defend the players' questioning of their teammate's conduct.'
