Re: The Footy Show
All that was missing was the spotlight on Cam, the Footy Show really controlled that segment.
What a disgrace.Comment

Re: The Footy Show
Aker mentioned he had support from a player who wouldn't stand up because 'he is out of contract at he end of the season' thoughts on who? Or crap?Comment

Re: The Footy Show
Sam vents, bit of a ramble. Turns out Newman is a member of the Western Bulldogs, 7 years?
.
Aker comes on. He sits next to Sam. Sam encourages Aker to name names.
Paints Jhonno in a poor light. Claims he jumped at the shadow of his book. Rounded up the players and created a campaign against him. Aker states he got a letter today giving the reason he was sacked.
On the letter it stated why he was sacked. Was the newman incident. They also listed two reasons that were not valid ( carried over from previous years despite agreeing at the beginning of the year to have a clean slate ). Aker is making points and is not ranting, unlike Newman who seems very keen to make up for his f**k up by sucking up to Aker.
Newman and Lyon imply that the Dogs have been leaking information to the media, not Aker.
Turns out some of the other players sent him messages of support after the sacking. Perhaps some of the players support him, but no proof. Nobody stood up for him anyway. Claims that he met with some players after the sacking. Aker insinuates it's form related, same thing happened at Brisbane. Brayshaw and Lyon both insinuate that Aker's ' only what happens on the field is important' attitude is out of date with modern footy.
Campbell Rose comes on. Not sure why, won't give any hard facts. Bit of a circus. Claims it was death by 1000 paper cuts. He has been away at a CEO conference and not in any of the meetings so far. Sticks up for the club with all the team first , trust takes time etc etc. Aker takes issue for being left lingering in the VFL. Whines about getting beaten up in the VFL in purgatory while the club planned to sack him anyway. Campbell is not that convincing as he has nothing to add and his hands are obviously tied; not a fair fight. Rose makes a comment that his own son is Aker's hero and he found it hard to break the news. That works. Lyon gives him fair respect for coming on at least. Is a 'good sport' about it. Crowd is a bit against him.
Rose and Aker agree to differ, shake hands.

Re: The Footy Show
Cameron Rose was an absolute superstar. Handled it incredibly well, showed shitloads of respect to Aker whilst maintaining the club line and delivering his message. Responded to every single LOADED question with a solid, clear answer — except the match committee stuff, yet he still qualified himself well.
I'm rapt in how he did. Great job! Made us look professional, considered and decisive in the face of anger. Beautiful.Comment
