We should draft Aker next year

Post: # 960319Post plugger66 »

Why not. Get him for nothing. Probably win us a flag.

Thoughts?

They may win the flag this year and Aker played. Lets get him with a late pick next season as it costs nothing. Even pre season. It is well worth it.

Got a feeling that this year is now or never for a flag.

By the time Aker comes along, it may too late.

Yes I like you serious posts. Lots of good insights.

Your taking the piss ones like this though are a waste of bandwidth.

Don't know whether you're taking the p!ss here.........seems like you didn't want them to try too hard to keep Ball, nor would you care if they tipped out Koschitzke...

But an outside, inconsistent type who is about 32 with a big mouth and ego is ok......

He might go ok, who knows, I wouldn't want him though :shock:


No Contract, No contact :shock:

Nice idea - it would release Goddard.

Not sure I ever said I wanted Ball to go even Kosi. But people do seem to say on here that if you arent paying to much for a recruit then why not get them. I thought I would join in.

For those that seriously think that it isnt worth picking AKA up you have rocks in your head.

he is one of the best players to ever play the game. If you could get him under control (Dogs did for 2 years) then he is worth it.

he has played 325 games, a noob wouldnt play that

I haven't been around this forum long enough to know if you are all taking the P155 or not but for what it's worth this reminds me of the Ben Cousins debate and the Saints declined there... so Aka a Saint not likely :)

Drafting Aker is not as stupid as it sounds. With GC and GWS coming in, mature aged recruits are going to be gold. Podsiadly, Barlow and now potentially Akermanis. He'd be worth a punt with our first round pick.

We've flown under the radar too much this year in the media. Aker could remedy that quick smart.

If I caught wind of the fact that Aker was a serious prospect I reckon I'd put myself up for the draft. I'd be every chance.

plugger when you make posts like this, think about the newbie to Saintsational who logs reads your post and then closes the thread in disgust because they think you're an idiot.

Do you WANT people to think you're an idiot?

I mean, if you MUST do this, at least use this guy :roll: so people know you're not being serious.

He's only 28 years old and they reckon big blokes take a bit longer.... :wink:
