Akermanis calls Stynes "A Nasty Man"

Featured Replies

The more you contact SEN the more they are likely to proceed with the Aker i/v.

Its all "good" publicity.

Tune out and ignore the [######].

 

Pretty sure people saying they will boycott the station and avoid all their sponsors matters to them

 

Classic Akermanis. So many words to describe him: self-promoting, ignorant, washed-up, has been, dirt bag, cocky...the list goes on. He'll never be even close to 1/100th of the man Jim was and he knows it.

I don't think he does know it. And there lies the problem. Aker has a very skewed perception Yes, everyone has an ego and is motivated by self-interest at times but some people recognise that in themselves. They keep that instinct in check and work towards a common good most of the time. Aker doesn't appear to get this. Maybe it is why he alienated himself the other players at two different clubs.

What's even worse is that a lot of those dribbling maggots that are leaving comments under the story are actually agreeing with him. Where do these germs come from? What the hell has this world come to?

 

Come on guys, we all now why he's doing this but let's not be pissweak MFC again. Take some action, get him banned. DO SOMETHING MFC SUPPORTERS!

This isn't Eddie McGuire calling us a weak club (which we did nothing about by the way), this is a troubled attention-[censored] who is speaking ill of a universally revered human being who just died.

Ruining Akermanis would give me cold comfort as the man has ruined himself three times over and only garners relevance through those calling for his irrelevance.

Not Frank Walker and his wonderful tiles!!!

Make whatever excuses for apathy you want, I'm taking whatever action I can.

A bit of sour grapes and jealousy from Jason Akermanis methinks! :wacko:

What a pathetic little man he is....always saying something to get attention in the papers! :rolleyes:

I'm apathetic?!

You go and destroy the life of a destroyed man - that's a good use of your time.

Jimmy would be proud.

THEY ARE LISTENNING!!! Got a tweet from SEN saying I might Want to listen in to hear the OX tear shreds through him to which I told them no the OX will just be giving him what he wants. Keep msging them they are LISTENNING and we might just get them to change Thier minds!!!

Why would the Herald Sun even publish this tripe?

It just proves that freedom of speech is wasted on some people.

...because people like getting outraged, and it prompts more readers/hits etc.

I'm with RPFC.

If anyone hasn't read the comments they might want to actually see what Aker said:

Akermanis is unlikely to be among mourners after telling breakfast hosts Mark Darin and Caroline Hutchinson that Stynes "was a nasty man in his day. He had a nice turn of phrase and he made sure you knew how he felt".

"What amazes me is yes, he was a legend of the game and did a great job and wonderful things with kids, but you know there are a bunch of people who have done just as much who don't get any recognition. I just think it's a bit out of kilter.

"He got a state funeral - do all football players get a state funeral? There's something about it all that just made me feel uncomfortable. Jim's good but is he that good?''

Honestly, is it really that outrageous?

Aker later said this to the Herald SunL

"Jim was a human being like anybody else full of good things and bad things.''

"I'm not bagging the guy, I'm just saying he was a human being.''

Akermanis said one of Stynes' greatest qualities was his competitiveness.

"When I knew him he was competitive and nasty and brutal. He wanted to win and would do anything to do it.

"That's the quality I admired the most about him.''

Yep - complete [censored]. Sounds like Aker came of second best against Jimma

But the nugget in the $hi$-pile

Akermanis said one of Stynes' greatest qualities was his competitiveness.

"When I knew him he was competitive and nasty and brutal. He wanted to win and would do anything to do it."

How I would love that to be true of every MFC player.

I'm apathetic?!

You absolute toss. "Jimmy would be proud".. Who do you think you are?!

I'm standing up for a great man and the club I love. You just sit there in your haughtiness and have a lovely day.

Just goes to prove that being able to play football does not make you a rocket scientist!

or perhaps you only need half a brain to play football

How about you do it the way you see fit, and others be entitled to be outraged in the way they see fit without being labelled apathetic?

Yeah, fair enough. Apologies to rpfc, mean no disrespect to anyone, just pretty upset by this.

He is now getting the attention that he wanted. Ignore the pest and his comments and he will go away.

As you should be, but this is a man who likes a camera or a microphone in front of him.

He will say things just for a rise.

I wouldn't bother giving it to him.

I am more concerned with this:

"As long as they know ... this is not Melbourne where you can just walk in and steal the players. If you do this at Collingwood, good luck."

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

    Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
