    Aker last night: 'Next year will be my last'

    Watched that channel 7 special 'Season's end' last night (not sure why, in hindsight Ramsay's Kitchen Nighmares was the way to go), and Aker said that he's under contract for next year but it would definitely be his last.

              Does feel kind of good to know the pick used to get Aker, the player got delisted.

              Much better feeling than the pick used to get Simon Garlick was Simon Black...

                  How did that work? Did Sydney on trade the pick to Brisbane?

                      Something to do with Stefan Carey, I think.

                          How many games has Aker won in his 2 years in the Bulldogs colours?

                                  Actually, quite a few.

                                  Even last year when he really didn't get going he made some telling contributions when the game was on the line (these are all from 2007).

                                  The Melbourne game where we won by 6 pts, Aker had 11 touches in the last.
                                  Port get back to 3 pts, Aker kicks 2 in a minute
                                  3 pts up on Freo at 3/4 time, Aker kicks 2 early in the last.

                                      Don't laugh too hard. He went from averaging singe figures to the Geelong Prelim where he sparked us in the 3rd & 4th; 2 goals in 3 minutes, he hopped, skipped, and took players on in the first passage of play in the 4th where he cleared the ball from defence & got it to our CHF position. He also have Scarlett a nice don't argue.

                                      I'm convinced Harbrow will turn into something special, just give him time.

                                          Aker has stated all year that next season will be his last.

                                              Agreed.

                                              I'm a big fan of Harbrow, his continual improvement over the course of the season was very pleasing. His early criticisms were that his field kicking/goal kicking needed work, whilst he also needed to 'stay in the game' longer - and not go entirely missing. In the last few months, he really improved. His field kicking was very good and he nailed his shots on goal, I can't remember him missing too many.

                                              His game v Geelong in the PF was fantastic too, a real 'break out' game I suspect.

                                              Hopefully Hill, Harbrow, Stack & Lynch (If he can turn it around) are able to spur one another on for season 09 and beyond.

                                                  Not sure why anyone was ever off the Harbrow bandwagon. Been pretty good from the moment he got here.
