Ch 7 names Aker Drug Suspect

[Mr Magic]

I couldn't find this topic on another thread so I am wondering if anybody saw the report on CH 7 that named WCE player Braun as the guy Aker was refering to in his article last week. I only caught a fraction of it.

[stinger]

braun towelled him up once..so i am not surprised....aker's a clown........hope braun sues the pant's off him.....

[Teflon]

ahhh...straight to the lawyers for Braun Id suggest...what a ridiculous way to name someone "allgedly" as a drug taker? via media........all so Aker gets his name in light in the Hun.

Even IF true it loses a lot of respect for Aker for mine.

[Enrico_Misso]

Leigh Matthews will be quietly chuckling to himself.

[Dan Warna]

i have heard from a few re: drugs at WCE but can't remember brauns name being mentioned.

wouldn't suprise me though.

[Bernard Shakey]

Nobody will be sueing Aker, it was 7 that named the player.

Aker is a tool - I cant believe he came out and named Braun!!

I really hope Braun is clean & after he proves it, I hope he 'takes Aker to the cleaners'..

The AFL should step in & take a stance on Aker, he cant go around tarnishing other players reputations & get away with it!

You would think that he (Aker) would have learnt to shut his mouth, but I suppose you cant teach an old dof new tricks...

yeah I read it to so what changes little - the BIGGER issue here is you have a player who was beaten on the day by an opponent that ha the ability to publicly (guilty or not) drag another players name throiugh the mud - as Luke Darcy said......there were probably other wasy for Acker to go about it.....

Its a joke - Aker has USED another players name to further himself publicly - Demtriou was spot on to call him a d!ckhead - he is.

How did we all feel when Craig Hutchison WRONGLY lumped Kosi in with the Saints sex scandal back a few years ago?

How would Brauns family and Braun feel - especially if Akers totally wrong and was just beaten on the day?????

Aker is no blunt tool, more precisely, he is fairly sharp just acts the clown He never divulged names. This is yet another embarassing leak from the AFL or its entrusted bodies.

Aka is not the first AFL footballer to indicate that other AFL players may have been on various substances...

....the past indicats that without checking that some AFL players do abuse...or take advanatge.

One team over Westaways.....was rumoured to have bulked up a while back....


Brisbane Lions were doinga range of things (not drugs) which have now been banned.

Caffeine tablets were all the rage fora while....


The AFL does bugga all till the media looks at them..

At least now the AFL may seriously start to test for EPO...

and the end justifies the means?

we may also have named a totally innocent player???????...cause Aker decided it was ok to start this up publicly - when there were clearly other ways to go about it???

Regardless of who leaked what - Brauns names in the public arena for drug abuse without a shred of evidence I might add..except that he once beat Aker for the ball a few times??

Next theyll name Harvey.........I mean how can a 35yr old do what hes been doing this season right???

[jonesy]

How suprising...another West Coast player.....

The talks been around for 15 years or more about them now. In the early 90's peope were throwing the roids questions about them.

Good ol Woosha,the ex pharmacist....

[aussierules0k]

[Riewoldting]

I see rodgerfox named Braun in linz's original thread

[AP Erebus]

Sure Aka has suspicions but it's not his fault that the story got leaked is it?

If Aka has leaked the name then he's a complete tool, but from what I understand, he has been confidential on naming the player and therefor it's not his fault that the "authorities" have leaked the name somehow...

[Spinner]

Whats aker basing his "hunch" on?


From what ive read, the bloke was able to run faster than him on a particular day.....

unless he saw him take drugs, he has NO RIGHT to come out with statements like these....(even though he didnt name him)


Even if he is guilty, unless there's proof it dosnt mean s***.


This is AUSTRALIA: what happened to innocent until proven guilty.

[riccardo]

Aker is undoubtedly a Grade A fool, but Channel 7 are more the fools for buying into his rubbish and not ignoring it like a reputable media outlet should be with unfounded accusations of drug use/abuse.

Ironic Aker is now at Footscray, he reminds me of an attention seeking, yappy little dog.

Spot on!

All these tossers supporting Aker cause hes a "good Aussie larriken and top bloke" have watched 1 to many Ray Martin love in interviews

It doesn't matter that Aker didn't leak the name - Aker obviously had someone in mind to dob in cause "they beat him in a foot race" so whats he do???? starts the whole ball rolling via the media to make himself look good - did he honestly think he was gonna write the article, drop the guys name to the drub mob the AFL uses and that'd be the end of it???????

complete and utter tool.

[Dan Warna]

interestingly WCE were run of their legs yesterday.

perhaps we should name some names before we play them in a couple of weeks and they might be scared straight

[fonz_#15]

different club, same s*** from aker. the most unprofessional player to pla the game

[meher baba]

What was it that brought on this sudden recovery of Akermanis's repressed childhood memory?

Did the alleged culprit say or do something to him in the recent game between WCE and the Doggies?

Fair enough for him to report it to the relevant authorities, but why turn it into a media event at the same time?

But, gee, the Eagles's performance yesterday was unusually listless. Perhaps there are some more behind the scenes ructions at the club that are about to burst out into the public arena, and Aker has picked up on these and decided to put the boot in at the same time??

Another interesting thing is the passion that Freo showed.

lame for 1/2 the season, passionate for 1/2 the season.

I guess that could be something addressed at st kilda in 07.

for some reason those freo pricks lift against us as well and we are listless against them.

[jonesy]

We've only played them in Melbourne about once in 6 years! Different story at the dome...

[Dan Warna]

lol I remember that game vaguely we won in a canter right?

they might be a worry if the come to play.

Harvey is a much harder man than cuddles ever was.

I suspect Freo will either be very good in the next few years or a broken team if harvey gets the gig (buckanara at sydney - they couldn't handle the pace, Lethal at Brisbane - they sucked it up and became what they became)
