    Re: Aker on Fox Sports ON The Couch - Tonight

    I'll acknowledge the questions weren't great last night (as they often aren't from that panel) though I did enjoy the interview nevertheless.

    * Interesting how much weight he's lost and that it was deliberate given late season fade in form he suffered in 08 (played great on Saturday)

    * That the biggest thing the Dogs will have to concentrate on in September is pressure on the opposition, particularly when they don't have possession - to quote 'because offensively, we're fine'

    * That he still considers himself in the top 5 players at the club - and I agree with him

        Thanks everyone - I don't have Fox so it was great to be able to learn what Aker said! I, for one, hope that he gets a gurnsey next year

            Apart from Joel Selwood, no player has performed better out of the 2006 national draft/trade week group than Aker. He has been absolutely sensational for us. Plenty of doomsayers were writing off the trade before it had begun, due to his age/injury concerns in 2006 and his potential to destabilise our playing group. Not too many dissenting voices now.

                        Pick 34 which they used on Chris Schmidt.

                            We would have taken Nathan Krackour [Port] who ended up until pick 39.

                                And probably wouldn't have picked up Josh Hill.

                                We were also keen on Simon Hogan (Geelong).
