Campbell Rose - PR Flunky

Re: Campbell Rose - PR Flunky

Don't seem to have missed anything by having an early night and forgoing watching TFS last night, though admittedly haven't watched it for quite a few years!!! Still a passionate Bulldogs supporter though. Sad that Aker is so egocentric that he can't see that HE was/is the problem. Think Campbell was probably a wonderful choice to go on that show last night.

Re: Campbell Rose - PR Flunky

i agree with most of this except that bit about telling Rose to "piss off". IMO it enhanced Akers position. How many people do you know -or even yourself- who wish to be able to tell their A-hole of a boss in a suit to "piss off"? Its Australian as vegemite. 99% of the public would have love Aker "sticking it to the man".

With the 'piss off' line Aker lost the respect of people who carry themselves with a little bit of class & honour. To show class through the process would have enhanced his claims of being hard done by, but he carried on like a selfish prick and it became much clearer thru the interview to why he was given the lemonade and sars in the first place.

Exactly.

Campbell Rose = class
Jason Akermanis = twat

Certainly didn't enhance his position in my demographic, to the contrary in fact, although I don't doubt for a moment that many will be drawn in by Aker playing the role of victim rather than that of agitator.

His parting cheap shot to Cam just helped to validate / legitimise the course the hierarchy took in disposing of this angry self obsessed man.

If anyone needed any proof of how divisive this bloke and his actions can be just look / read how he has managed to divide our supporter base.

Re: Campbell Rose - PR Flunky

What happened last night was a disgrace and the footy show should be held in contempt, but it's our own fault.

I think you're being a bit unfiar on TFS bud. I was expecting them to be pulling each other dicks and a mutual appreciation society with the whole panel pushing Aker from the off to totally bag out the club, name names and generally provoke as much moral outrage as they could.

Against my expectations it was an even handed and fair exploration of the events with both sides getting plenty of time to pout their sides of the story. This was never going to end in a win for us-at worst we we were going to look like the Grinch who stole christmas and the best result we could hope for on the night was a nil all draw which is what we got.

The club needed to stay right away last night and let those two bozo's tie the noose around their own necks

THIS. The club issued a statement. End of.

But once the decision was made to go on TFS, why did we choose Rose, who's role at the club wouldn't have had much to do with the sacking anyway. IMO it appeared as if we'd sent another corporate "suit" to spin our way out of it.

For me, you don't fight fire with fire so bringing in someone really calm like Rose would have taken out all the stinging attack from Aker and Sam and TFS crew which we clearly achieved.

Agree totally, good post Doc26.

Yep, was great.

I think we are doing things pretty well actually, everybody is keeping along the same lines. Trust, trust, trust and in the process not allowing it to be pinpointed at one thing, something Aker doesn't seem to be able to contemplate.

Unfortunatly some of own supporters can't either.

Like someone said earlier I think it was important that all the senior members of the club took their turn to demonstrate that the entire club are singing from the same page in the songbook. Smorgo, Johnno, Fantasia and Rocket had all stepped up to the plate and it was Rose's turn last night.

An alternative cynical view would be that Rose wasnt around the club on wednesday. That way he could honestly deny having intimate knowledge of what happened at the meeting in order to avoid any tricky questions.

Yep, I can't believe some of our supporters would rather side with an individual(who's clearly in the wrong) over the club.
