    I loved the bit where he yelled at one of the boys, "Come on, you're a Bulldogs supporter, you've gotta do better than that!"

      Good looking guys aren't necessarily vain. Huddo would soon knock it out of anyone, if so!

      I think James Cuming summed it up perfectly. Aker was out to damage the club and promote himself with his poor-me description of the leading teams process. But Gia gave a balanced view of what happens in the situation. He was also willing to admit to having faults that he is addressing. Did Aker?

      Has anyone noticed that Aker's media interviews/columns seem to lack substance now? He must be really scratching around for material.

        Gia's revelations came out after Arek's comments and were meant to heal the bridges that Akre had caused regarding the club and the Leading Teams system. He gave examples of good that it had done and was not self promotional, and Gia is a club leader.

        So, in summary, Acke put the club down, Gia, who is a team leader, raised the club up.
        Very, very funny

                      I don't think this is by accident. Damn, I could be setting myself up here.

                        If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

                          Could be one for each personality.
                          He who should remain nameless, now seems to be a bit of a Sybil.

                            Just on the issue of couble standards regarding the Aker issue, according to the Herald Sun's back page of their sport section the club wasn't rapt with Gia's comments either.
                            I should leave it alone but you're not right
