Cheer Cheer, if you can think back to last year, Roos questioned Akers mental strength the week before he lost the plot against us. I think he is a massive dummy spitter in the style of Richo, not a mentally strong player like Goodes was last year (tackled and thrown to the ground? Just get up and get on with it, it's part of the game).

The continual whining about taggers shows that he is unable to cope. Just get over it and get on with your game!

I think Roosy comments and what happened were coincidence IMO - the same thing has happended this week B/W Aker and Roos - if Aker folds again I may be swinging to your side - but for now I will back myself and see what happens.

Just because he whinges during the week and during games - does it mean he is mentally weak ? He has been doing it before , during and after his brownlow year .

If he is BOG I dont think you can label him mentally weak.
He would be perceived to be mentally weak by you if he does those things and has a bad game.
If he does those above mentioned things and is BOG which he has been much more than a bad player to his team - is he still mentally weak ? Even when he whinges and carries on and is still BOG ?

It seems to me that you label him that status when he has a bad game - but he acts the same whether BOG or relagated to the bench - so is he really mentally weak ?

Is Buckley or cousins mentally weak when they have a bad game?

Fair enough, can't argue with that! Let's wait and see!
