Another great performance by a Aker today.
How many games would Aker of played a match winning performance this season?
How would he compare with Johnno this season?
Hope they both play on next year their performing well and play a smart game!

Reckon he's won at least a few this year. Or at least saved a few! I think he's ahead of Johnno at the moment. I too hope they can go again next year, and be good contributors!

She also made some comment on Bradshaw being an option for the Dogs. Highly unlikely with Brisbane onle having one avenue to goal when he doesn't play

Knew when we picked him up that he'd win 3 or 4 games a season off his own boot and he hasn't dissapointed :)

Interesting hearing him on triple m yesterday he is still unsure if he will play on next year and if he does it will be for bugger all money it will be for the team.they also asked him about Barry Hall and he said he would be happy to play with him as long as he also got paid nothing and played for the love of the game.I really liked that he insisted he will not be there at the expense of a player like Hill,Higgins,Stack or Ward and would only play if the passion was there as he had a couple of irons in the fire and was unsure wether to "stoke the logs"

Go Aker!! Was great to see, Seb was loving watching his idol on Saturday. We were sitting on the boundary where they take their warm up runs when they are on the bench.....imagine Seb's delight whenever Aker wandered past :D

My 5yo has started to show interest in footy and there is only one reason.

"I like Aker because he's got white hair and black whiskers. Go Aker."

My nearly 3yo only knows one player and associated the dogs with saying "Go Aker"

The day Aka announced he wanted to come to the bulldogs as I was picking up my son from Footscray-City primary school I told the rest of his classmates. The reaction the news got was amazing, I dont think there was one kid who didnt know who he was.

Great effort again today... must piss him off to see so many looking like "B-graders" (his own words!)

Aker magic again when it was needed to be won.

Can't say enough for what he brings to our team... the kind of player you know when he has the ball, most of the time he's gonna use it well. And often create something magic.

Uncanny from acute angles.

Others may do the miraculous with snaps and bananas from the boundary (e.g. Daicos, Davis, Motlop, Steve Johnson) but for dead eye straight drop punts from acute angles I have NEVER EVER SEEN BETTER. He consistently threads the needle.

Superb Aker, pleasure to watch you do your stuff.

How ironic was it that he sealed the game with a goal that was a hallmark of his time as a Lion?

Aah yes, Coon Dog, the silence at the Gabbatoir was deafening, wasn't it, when he kicked that fab goal in the last quarter that really got us up and about again! Loved it!

Smarter than Brian Lake? Surely you jest! ;)

Didn't you love the way Brian complained to the umpire & allowed Drummond to run off & kick a goal? Maybe not too clever upon reflection.

Some of Aker's kicking is sublime, makes players run to where they should to receive it, always on the advantage side for them.

Brian is my favourite Dogs player, but he's not the sharpest knife in our drawer.

IMO Aker is.

I actually think its disgraceful that they boo him, could never see myself booing The Hawk at Fitzroy, i still wanted to see his magic.

Loved the expression on his face after he kicked it - was like "ooooooooohh that one hurts you doesn't it- but I'll just enjoy that one quietly"!

I read one journo who said, "Aker just has to have the final word, doesn't he?"

That look said a million words, i loved it. And when he went and gave it to McGrath after he gave away the 50m.

1) It must have been satisfying for Aker to shove it up al those haters up there
2) He's a freak. As soon as he got the ball i thought he was a dead certainty - which is interesting considering he was on the wrong foot, in the wrong pocket. I have never seen anyne more talented and consistent.
3) Have you ever seen anyone, perhaps Carey, ho can talk the talk AND walk the walk when needed
4) I put it at about 10 games he has won this club in his time, possibly more. Great trade
5) If the cash is there, he must play on.

I was following the game on my mobile phone. The commentary said "The Big Bad Wolf Akermanis has just blown Brisbanes house down." I LIKE IT!!!! :D

Smartest player on our team IMO.



Footy smarts are such an important quality-especially for us. It really cost us last week, we just generated inside 50 after inside 50 and then pissed them all against the wall with dumb mistakes. I dont think I've ever been as frustrated with the team as I was last week.

I got a text message at 9.51pm last night at work from Twodogs.

It read: "we won by 3 goals mate, 82 to 100, Aker with the sealer from the boundary:)"

I was watching the game with 5 others - and it was funny that everyone in the room knew he was going to kick it - we were all out of our seats before it went through....and the carry on from 6 adults - watching a game on TV - had to be seen to be believed.

Geez I love the little man - what a genius.

I was standing alongside FDTOM (we both had to stand-you just cant sit down during a tense finish) and we both mumbled 'Aker' under our breath as he picked the ball up, 'Aker' a lttle louder as he lined up and then the huge high 5 as the ball sailed through. The relief and the man love for the blackchinbearded one was palpable
