Fantastic Five: Jason Akermanis' best moments | AFL

Few players have been more talented on both sides of the body than Brisbane and Western Bulldogs star Jason Akermanis. Flags, Brownlow medal, goal of the year, match-winning bursts - Aker did it all with flare.

The fact that I got to kick the footy with Jason when he came to my local primary school in the mid-2000’s, when no other classmate would partner up with me, is so amazing to me, and I can look back 20 years later, and be proud of something so fantastic, and have it locked deep in my memory for this long. Jason, if you see this, thank you for making my childhood so incredible. I can’t believe I remember all this after such a long time. The things I would give to meet you again and thank you for everything and maybe even kick the footy again, like we did that day. ❤️🙏 You are seriously one of the best, mate.

Akermanis' broke my 7 year old heart in 2002

[electricmaster]

the sickest thing is that he did the #1 play twice in a tow. Akermanis makes circus freaks weep in shame.

I see a lot of him in Jason Horne-Francis

[robertSharp-ss]

Aker and Eddie Betts, the most amazing footballers I have ever seen. There's your X factor!.

Oh man as a Bombers fan I absolutely HATED the Brisbane Lions & Aker for beating us in the 01 Grand final!!! I fell out of love with AFL from about 04-05, and recently been watching it again, now living in Brissy all these years later, I appreciate what they've done for AFL footy in Brisbane. On ya Aker 👏

The most underrated player in the history of the game

[jlrob]

One of those situations where the ego got the better of him. He’s up there with Gablett Jnr, West Coast Judd as one of the most explosive players ever!!!

The one dislike is a Collingwood supporter lol

[andrewcameron]

Would love to ask Simon Black how he rated Akers football skills. I reckon he could talk for a while on that subject and I don’t think he’s a talkative man. Aker could flat out bustle.

[LiamBriggs]

You really need a healthy sense of arrogance to pull off those two goals against Geelong.

It's one thing to throw the ball on the boot in piss poor conditions and hope for the best, but to drop punt from the impossible angle less than two minutes later, that's absurd.

He could talk the talk AND walk the walk.
😁👍🏻

#4, the handball to Jakermanis for the first goal was a chuck and a half but ok

[ryanbasilio]

Aker doing Aker things.
What a freak!.
👍🏻😊

Has there ever been a better kick for goal on the run

[andreasnidras]

[samnunn]

The left sas with a sore toe. Big softy

[hamodabeast]

Aker Eminem of afl runs as fast as he raps and I mean i think everyone can see the other thing

[King_Budnacab]

his caliper don't exist up untill maybe A McLeod, P Mattera and Wayne Carey and Chris Judd are close to him but not at the level that he performed

[malikAW]

No can touch Aker. Absoulte game winner, best opposite foot.
