Bulldogs sack Akermanis


The Western Bulldogs have terminated Jason Akermanis's contract just six weeks before the end of the home-and-away season and with a finals campaign awaiting the club.

President David Smorgan confirmed to The Age that the footballer and the club part company after it had become apparent that the two were 'on different paths.'

The club is set to announce the split - which will see the Brownlow medallist paid out for the term of his contract, which was due to expire at the end of this season - this afternoon.

The Age has learned that after a series of meetings Akermanis was informed today.

The Bulldogs have become fed up with Akermanis constantly disrupting the group and breaching confidences.

''We hasn't earnt the trust of the group,'' a source told The Age.

''It's a pattern of behaviour. You can't put it down to one thing. It has just gone on for so long. And we don't want it to keep going.''
