Re: Aker press Conference at 4:45 PM

Little angry at this situation although I probably agree with it.

The club had better start taking a much harder stance with on-field performances from its players, though. No more free rides for Hahn, Higgins or anybody else.

Whilst these matters aren't related, they've shown balls 'off' the field. Show it on the field, starting with favourite sons.

I've read somewhere that you're 38 times more likely to have an accident riding a motorbike.

[QUOTE=Throughandthrough;165439]Your either with us, or against us. He put himself ahead of the team, so he's against us.

I didn't buy the Sam Newman 'i was eaves dropping" story last week one bit.

Fair enough. We don't know the half of it.

Where did I read it about the book coming out later this year where he pots many of the current players, and the words had got back to the group?

He's obviously a sh*t bloke, and i wouldn't want to play with him either..

That's a bit harsh.

He lacked common sense and he got out what he put in. Good luck Jason. Onward Bulldogs!

Honestly can't say I'm upset about it. The guy has been a distraction all season so don't let the door hit ya...blah, blah. Loved the guy as a footballer even as a Lion but off the field he comes across as a self obsessed moron.

He didn't contribute to the club this season anyway so it's no great loss.

Love him but I guess it had to happen, I hope he does the right thing from here.

I think you are confusing correlation with causation.

Yes there is a correlation between the bad media outcome of West & Akers departures, however they differ in crucial aspects.

1. Wests departure was a fait accompli- his knee was buggered. I don't think the club intended or expected it would escalate into a story. Probably not handled well by either the club or West.

2. In the Aker instance, the club made a deliberate decision to act, knowing full well that there would be an ensuing fall out in the media. No doubt the weighed up very carefully the cost v benefit of this action, and still decided to make the call.

So to draw a bow that these two departures and the way they were handled are caused by an underlying problem with the club to handle player departures is wrong.

I doubt we'll ever know the complete or full story, but I don't understand the criticism of the club on this thread.

And the contrast between our star recruits Aker and Hall couldn't be greater.

There is no quite possibly about it. Shit comment.

Akermanis - its a shame, but true to his form, if he was willing to throw away relationships with his three time premiership team mates for a few quotes, what were we to him....?

He was a great player and I reckon he could have been an 'x factor' come finals time if he could have brought it back..

Gotta back the club here. No question they have done what thought was best for the group. I hope it works out.

I'm sure we will be saturated with Akers version.

LostDog, it appears a troll has hijacked your account.

No comparison.

Re: Aker press Conference at 4:45 PM

Aker is a true legend of the game with lots more to offer the bulldogs. I believe this is a massive mistake, wich in turn will bring more unwanted media attention to the club and playing group.
