WESTERN Bulldogs players and officials have sought legal advice about possible defamatory action against sacked star Jason Akermanis.

High-profile solicitor and former Footscray president Peter Gordon confirmed the move on Wednesday night.

"I've been asked by a number of people connected with Western Bulldogs, including some quite senior people, to advise them on possible rights they may have over defamatory comments," he said.

Gordon, principal of Gordon Legal, would not name the source of those comments.

All he would add was that he was representing individuals and not acting for the club.

Gordon is understood to be in possessions of transcripts, tapes and reports of alleged conversations at various times and places in recent weeks.

But any possible action will be delayed until the Bulldogs complete their finals campaign

Will Aka's book be released???

It probably will be because the article states (if true) no action will take place till our finals campaign is done and dusted. The book is slated for release Preliminary final time.

Hope Akers got a good lawyer, this, and the accusing 3 players of drugs and gay footballers.

This is the best publicity Aker could get. Now everyone will want to know what he has said about his former teammates.

I like this bit.

'A member of the Johnson camp said last night: "He will have to be incredibly careful. He can have opinions, but as soon as he starts alleging different versions of events, he would want to have a big bank."

Johnson's book titled Johnno: Bulldog Through and Through is due out this year, but he refused to add a final chapter covering the Akermanis saga.

He is believed to have told his publishers Penguin he was determined not to waste another word on Akermanis.'

If you are going to make up shit as fact I hope they take you for everything you have Wankermanis.

Yes, it just plays into his hands, more free publicity for his muck-racking publication! Did anyone else see some of the comments people have left on about the article? I am amazed of the public's perception of this guy.......that he is the one hard done by! Why would this situation occur at 2 clubs - not just ours? I would love to see Collingwood supporters reaction had he been at their club and done the same thing!;) Let's see moderation and objectivity then!!!!

Gordon Legal?

What happened to Slater and Gordon?

It's the new law firm of Peter Gordon.

Er, yes. I think the question was what happened to the old one?

[LongWait]

Er, yes. I think the question was what happened to the old one?

Slater and Gordon still exists and was taken public a few years ago - listed on the ASX and has a national presence.

[Sockeye Salmon]

Peter Gordon never was the Gordon in Slater and Gordon.

[bornadog]

Peter Gordon never was the Gordon in Slater and Gordon.

Correct, Slater and Gordon are an old firm and Peter only joined in the mid 80's
