I know a few posters on here were worried that this had the potential to derail our finals campaign with some relevations of scandals etc. But have no fear, according to Caro we have nothing to worry about.

Just reading the highlights(lowlights) that is listed, the worst is vitriol aimed at the club or its players, and we have been hearing that ever since he was sacked, so nothing new there.
Revelations include:
* Aker leaking confidential inhouse club information to Ross Lyon before last years GF (Thanks aker!!)
* Gia was the first player to refuse to play beside him
* When Aker asked Sheedy about playing for the bulldogs, Sheedy said that the Bulldogs were a *** club.
* That Gia, Murphy, Hudson and Higgins were nice to him to his face but turned on him as soon as he wasn't there.
That seems like basically the average type of stuff that is going to be in it. Just sounds like a whinging and moaning book from the guy rather than anything of substance.
I can't see it affecting our preparation to the all important prelim

In fact, neither the Bulldogs, nor the wider AFL community, need concern themselves. Absent are the hinted at allegations of illegal drug use by footballers and absent are any revelations of in-house scandals in a narrative punctuated by Akermanis's dislike of and vitriol aimed at a number of senior Bulldogs and Brisbane players and officials.
Akermanis writes that his four years at the Western Bulldogs were ''a waste of time'' and that the club never took full advantage of his experience as a three-time premiership player and Brownlow medallist
