AndrewP6 - your words are true and correct! That woman calls herself a sports journalist, expert on AFL? OMG - I just couldn't believe what I was reading. As someone else said, she obviously doesn't watch TV or else she would have seen Aker on Before the Game talking about the Leigh Matthews/injury article. Now I fully understand why she annoys the beejeezus out of me if I happen to watch Footy Classified - she is an embarrassment
Totally agree with everything you've said ES.
The guy not only won a Brownlow and Premierships, he also won a 'Most Professional Player' award up in Brisbane, voted by his teammates. You don't win something like that without the deepest admiration and respect, hardly a sign of a 'consultant'.
Rubbish journalism. Caro does herself a disservice with such drivel -- she's the saddest, most bitter thing going around at the moment.
ps. There are still Brisbane people who LOVE Aker -- you don't get that with a mercenary. Caro will never get it. She just wants to bag the Dogs, so she'll shit-stir -- talk about bitter Richmond people, she could be their leader.
Worth 1000 words...
NB
I am no oil painting but her journalism suits her looks.
As Aker is contracted by The Herald Sun, maybe he declined an interview with the Age in the lead up to his 300th and this is Caro's response. Petty, to say the least but definitely not below Caro's standards.
She is one of the many reasons I do not buy The Age and the single reason I do not watch Footy Classifieds.

This is possibly the worst article she has ever written.
Clutching at straws for controversy.
Should the Dogs put in a complaint to the AFL about 'an Age football journalist' launching an unsubstantiated 'attack on our people'? No, that would be childish.
What she's said about Aker in this article is nasty and circumstantial rubbish, and is far worse than anything he's said about anyone at the Lions.
She's making me sexist....................Bitch.
Stupid woman. A great leadup for Aker, his articles and interviews and not lesat his game were all entertaining, I really enjoyed last week. Caro go save the tiges from imploding and leave us alone if you cant be positive, at least dont try to bring a man down in an important week.
What is with this sarcastic comment about Aker's 300th milestone? I have never been a particular fan of Aker and his mouth, but his football achievements can never be questioned. 300 games is no mean feat and deserves more respect than this and it most certainly deserves a lot of media coverage.
What is the intent of this article? More than just a news item, it seems to be a none too subtle dig at a highly decorated footballer. What a strange woman Ms Wilson is. Some of her articles I find interesting, others not, but this one reads as quite petty and nasty.
I hope Aker doesn't respond.
