The Jason Akermanis interviews at the centre of legend's messy Lions exit - The Footy Show Vault

In 2006, Jason Akermanis' ugly fallout with Leigh Matthews and the Brisbane Lions led to the Brownlow Medallist being moved on by the club he'd won three premierships with. With the trade period underway, we're looking back at how it played out on The Footy Show, including Aker's confirmation he wanted to play for the Western Bulldogs. Akermanis' move to the kennel came after it was reported in late July of that year that Brisbane's coaching staff and senior players had all agreed Akermanis should be moved on.
