Re: The Footy Show
Hmmm, I just saw The Footy Show. I have a different slant on things than most. I thought that Cam Rose was very good and that Acker actually lost the debate.
It appears that there were a lot of mis-truths and most of them generated by Sam himself, especially in his opening tirade. Besides the 'overhear' faux pas I have a strong suspicion that he has a membership of every AFL club as do other media commentators. It ensures that they get news from clubs and is tax deductible.
I don't think that Akermanis lies, he just suffers from Dunning-Kruger effect, alluded to by another supporter. He was asked who betrayed him. Aker dodged the word 'betrayed' but never-the-less Newman made sure that it got into people's consciousness.
Aker said that he wasn't sacked from Brisbane but agreed to leave. According to Aker this was a much better outcome than the Bulldogs, the audience and a reasonable person would agree to this - until you realise the weeks of turmoil that Brisbane went through beforehand.
He has no concept that it is insolent to spout on public radio that he has done his time and doesn't know why he is not back in the team. Aker is in the centre of the world that revolves around him. There is a name for this sickness that somebody may be able to find. Narcissistism, somebody said.
Aker said that nobody had the right to tell him what to do outside the club. He is delusional.
When asked about the poor comments he was about to write in a book about his teammates he avoided the question by saying that he had only made some rough notes. But did not deny the allegation, then asked for proof. Like I said before Aker is no liar, his silence on the question can be taken as admission. Earlier on radio he said that he wrote no bad notes. Bit confusing. He knows they cannot get proof and just have to go on his word. So, how did it come out, did he tell one of his trusted teammates, who dobbed him in?
Can you believe that Aker did not know what was going on in the meeting when he was being discussed regarding his proposed book? He said he didn't see it (the sacking) coming. You would think you would have to be a moron. But Aker's world revolves around himself.
He said that he had been brought before the group 3 times. If it was me I think that one time would have been enough. Three times?
Funny that Aker said he did no leaking but admitted to leaking info to Sam. Also his self-promotion on radio regarding why he hasn't been selected was very poor form. It was just mean't to unduly influence the selection committee (who have SFB) and marginalise the coach.
He reckons that he has text messages from 3 Bulldog players, but says nothing specific about the messages but leads you to believe they were against his sackings. Apparently he was quite prepared to show those texts to Rose, thus betraying his supposed supporters.
Unanimous decisions are reached by a group even when one of the group initially disagree. The one who disagrees then agrees to go with the group decision and the group then announces a unanimous decision. Its team orientation.
Aker will find it difficult to work with a team in the media also. They all have to work together too. I could see a few more odd bits there too but hey.
Sam Newman is the most devisive.
The other two commentators on the footy show plus Johnathan Brown were pro Bulldogs.Last edited by BulldogBelle; 23-07-2010, 02:31 AM.Comment

Re: The Footy Show
Sam was absolutely despicable last night.
Aker might as well have been sitting on his lap.
First time I've watched the footy show in about 5 years and last time I'll ever watch it.
I almost feel sorry for Aker because he just doesn't get it.
J. Brown just looked like he wanted to punch the living shit out of him.
If he had have retired last year the whole Aker/ Bulldogs story would have been a great redemptive chapter to the end of Akers career.
Now it's a sorry ugly pathetic farce.Comment

Re: The Footy Show
Now that Aker has aired he's views in public, I think that it will now be old news and die a natural death. The public will soon get over the event and life will go on as usual.
Aker may try over the next couple of week cause a bit of stirring but I don't think too many will be concerned.
All that needs to happen now is the Bulldogs as a team get on with the job of playing football and carve their path to a final, do this and no one will care what Aker has to say.
How much can someone bag a winning team.Don't piss off old people

Re: The Footy Show
My opinion is I think he lost a lot of people with that one (telling Rose to p155 off), me included, and potting Rohan Smith and Brad Johnson, what a turkey. The blatant lie about Sam overhearing Aker whinge about the process came out too, he doesn’t understand its not the criticising of the process that screwed him, he could do that inhouse until his tonsils bled ( I agree it’s management wank) or he was told to shutup, but that he blabbed about it to the biggest mouth in Australia which created a situation where Adam Cooney a star of the club and brownlow medalist had to defend himself in public over confidential in house matters all for the glorification of Sams massive ego and footy show ratings. Strangely Aker wasn't too upset about that.
And that its not that he wrote the article about gay footballers, but that he lied about changing it and made the club look stupid. And he keeps saying what did I do!?? He was kicked out of Brisbane for leaking info only 4 years ago.
Rose was brilliant, really made me feel the club was strongly led and determined. An organisation I am proud to be a part of. Bring on Sunday!BT COME BACK!

Re: The Footy Show
For me the highlight of this debacle was J. Brown. Whenever Aker said anything about Brisbane the look on JB's face was of total disbelief. It did look as if he wanted to punch the crapola out of him. JB did a lot for our clubs cause, more so than Rose, because if semi-intelligent people were watching and took notice of Browns body language and facial expressions, it conveyed a total lack of respect for Aker, and what he was saying and also he had a look of "heard all this before, here we go again" on his dial.
It was also good of JB to get stuck into Sam at the beginning and defend our club. He is clearly no fan of Aker, but more than that he is no fan of Aker's posturing and morals.
JB has seen it all before and he does have cred.Comment
