SACKED forward Jason Akermanis yesterday called for Western Bulldogs president David Smorgon's head - amid a furore over comments by another departed Brisbane Lions player.

Akermanis said it was time for Smorgon to step down after the sensitive Bulldogs apologised for trade acquisition Justin Sherman's criticism of the Lions.

"It won't stop, that's how poor their leadership is and I'll never back away from those comments because that's exactly what they do and exactly why they're not going to win anything any time soon," the Lions' triple premiership forward said.

Akermanis predicted there would be a backlash against Sherman during a guest spot on SEN's morning show.

My reaction when I read the headline was to literally laugh out loud. The guy and anyone who agrees with him is a joke.

Is it just me, or does this not really make sense?
Because we try prevent our players from comment accusing previous clubs, it means "we're not going to win anything".

What a complete idiot.

This is his career now - bitching about "people that dun wronged him" in the past.

I mean, look what happened when he tried an article that wasnt along those lines.

I feel sorry for his wife and children. How could you live with such a wanker.

Re: Jason Akermanis calls for David Smorgon's head

Our leadership is poor because we addressed a potential situation very quickly and got on the front foot with regards to the comments made?

I don't remember Richmond doing the same when McMahon was shooting his mouth off. Perhaps we should follow their successful blueprint.

Re: Jason Akermanis calls for David Smorgon's head

The worst thing about that article is not the content, I've learnt to except that from the tool but the fact there is a picture of him in the Red, White and Blue.

That alone makes my stomach turn!

Re: Jason Akermanis calls for David Smorgon's head

My reaction is I wonder what Sherman really thinks about having to do this. Is he a player who will find such restriction difficult? Does he in any way think like Aker. I just hope not, but there does seem a bit of the cavalier about him. Like with Aker, you hope it can be channelled into a massive positive and not end in tears when the going gets tough.

Aker is like a boomerang, everytime you think he's finally been thrown away, he does a u-bolt mid air and smacks you in the back of the head. Enough already!

Re: Jason Akermanis calls for David Smorgon's head

We should know by now that at every opportunity A*** is going to sink the boots into our club with the maximum publicity. How about we don't give him any opportunities??

It was unfortunate Sherman didn't express himself better but I don't remember him coming under any scrutiny for any reason at the Lions, unlike someone else, so hopefully this will be a one-off. He needs to keep his head down and his mouth out of the papers while he's with us, and concentrate on becoming a good team member (again, unlike someone else).

Re: Jason Akermanis calls for David Smorgon's head

The sad thing is he's going to spend the rest of his media life trying to justify why everything he's done in his life was the right thing. The good news for us is that media career is already on its last legs and his final season has only been finished for 2 weeks.
