At his best, Jason Akermanis has sublime skills and breathtaking pace but at three-quarter time on Sunday, Western Bulldogs supporters would have been forgiven for thinking their club had bought a lemon.Akermanis had just six possessions next to his name, one of which was a lame left foot shot at goal which dribbled along the ground.And to add insult to injury, Melbourne ruckman Paul Johnson had succeeded effortlessly in making Akermanis look slow.That was on top of a shocking start to the season, one which had seen him already miss two games due to injury with the four he had played being far from the lofty standards he set in a 248-game career with Brisbane where he was one of the game's premier midfielders.
