Recruiting Aker?

[mjs]

Acker has been dropped by the Lions.

Not sure what they are hoping to achieve by this - seems like it's just punishment like when Frawley dropped Richo and 5000 turned up at Preston to watch him 

[The Glove]

Got dropped cos he has been 'orrible.

Disinterested in rounds 1 - 4, slaughtered in round 5 by Judd and arguably cost Brisbane any chance last week with his 'ego' display plus he cant get the ball. 

Good call by Matthews - actually changing my tip now and will go the Lions to beat the Hawks this week!

Recruiting players past their prime has only been a source of misery and suffering for us RFC supporters. Big no-no for Aker

lol I did the same thing. No Croad and Crawf in his pink boots for the Hawks helped as well.

The players were told not to talk to the media yet on Tuesday Aka was having a big whinge about Leigh Matthews to the media.

Hey Julz 

I reckon he'll play.

I also hear that O'loughlan    might not play for the Swannies

(Jack told me)

So you're talking to Jack but not me
And you're invisible
I know you're there

Well I don't know about O'Loughlan (it would be nice though) but you could be spot on about Aker.

WLF Clinton Grybas suggested that we are taking a look at Aker at the moment. Im not against it but i dont think hes worth more than a 4th rounder at best at 30 years of age.

he is worth looking at!

he would be gr8 value to our team, has gr8 big game experience, more than our whole team combined and i would give tiv 4 him without a doubt! tive and gas 4 aker i would also give

hes a good type to get if your gonna hang around the edge of the 8 and youve got a group of kids and you need to get them into the finals. Akers the type of player who crosses the divide between being a finals team to just missing out. I also like the fact that hes 30, in this instance because he wont cost much and we need to stay above 92.5%...with Richo, Bowdo, Kellaway eligible for vets...i think Aker would be a good  get...AS LONG AS HE DOESNT COST US MUCH IN THE TRADE. Id chuck in Rodan as well into the mix as part of a swap.

we are on the same page

Aren't Brissy asking for a top 10 pick and a player  . Tell 'em they're dreamin'  . We need guys in the mid-age bracket not near 30.

[PuntRdRoar]

my point is simply that if he comes cheap he'll be worth it coz he'll win us 3 games on his own- thats the difference between making the 8 and missing it.

[mightytiges]

No doubt Ramps that Aker can win games off his own boot like Browny  but we want to develop a side that will have a genuine chance of winning the flag not just making the eight. We are at least 2-3 years away from that so by the time we are challenging Aker will be 31+.
