        He mentioned on the radio yesterday that he wants to finish up with a flag and if that means playing next year, he would seriously consider it.

          Playing well enough to play next year. If he's form is good enough then surely he should play on,and anybody who doesn't think Aka wouldn't have made a difference yesterday is talking tripe.The guys useage is outstanding,11 or 12 quality possessions

            OK I take it back... if he'd played, we'd have lost by 4-5 goals...

              Going on his last game he wasnt his usual self, fumbled a lot, but really thats only one bad game, i have been nothing but impressed with him since he came over football wise, thinks too quick at times he is that good.
              I would love to see him go around again with the likes of Grant learning about his game.

                He has also stated that he hasn't enjoyed this pre-season and it was the toughest of all. Even prior to the injury.

                Happy if he goes around again, however we need to think about the team.

                If Welsh, Hahn, johnson & Aker are around it's another year that Cordy, Roughy, Reido;O'keefe don't get games into them. Hard to understand if these guys can't win the flag next year why we would keep them all on.

                Looking forward - Naughton, Darcy and JUH. It will be the envy of everyone.

                  I don't understand why people do this kind of thing. Ok so you say he is worth 3-4 goals to us yet just whack that off the final score. If Aker was playing those goals would have had us a lot closer than we were and the whole game changes. It's so simplistic and quite frankly foolish to think like that.
