Liam PickeringHOST
Yeah, Voss is in the team.
Cam LukeHOST
Akermanis will be in the team.
Liam PickeringHOST
Akermanis is not in the team.
Cam LukeHOST
Come on.
Liam PickeringHOST
Well, mate, there's only 23 spots.
PatrickHOST
They didn't die and come back to life, that'd be pretty weird if they did that.
PatrickHOST
But if no one was there to experience what it was like to watch the Lions in 2000 to 2005, what Charlie Ca- what like, what it's like for the fans for Charlie Cameron is what Jason Akermanis was like back then.
JBHOST
Yeah.
PatrickHOST
So that's the reference point.
Josh GabelichHOST
We're gonna look at someone who had plenty of confidence when we unpack the vault later on this hour.
Josh GabelichHOST
That man is Jason Akermanis.
Josh GabelichHOST
Don't say anything yet because-
Michael VossGUEST
[laughs]
Michael VossGUEST
I was, yeah
Josh GabelichHOST
... listen to the full version of Open Mic, which is just absolutely gold.
Josh GabelichHOST
Anyway, we'll get to Jason Akermanis and the vault later on.
Josh GabelichHOST
We've also got Dom Ambrogio, the list boss of the Brisbane Lions, coming on in about half an hour's time.
Liam PickeringHOST
Yeah.
JakeAUDIENCE
I got, I got Luke Power, Jason Akermanis, and Nathan Buckley.
Liam PickeringHOST
Luke Power ended up with the Giants.
Cam LukeHOST
Mm-hmm.
Liam PickeringHOST
Jason Akermanis, champ- both...
Liam PickeringHOST
Well, he's a champion-
Cam LukeHOST
Yep
Liam PickeringHOST
Luke Power.
speaker_1HOST
Johnno Brown, the Scotts, Leppitch, Mal Michael I loved.
speaker_1HOST
The midfield might be the best midfield mix of all time, and a centerpiece of that early success was Jason Akermanis.
speaker_1HOST
And we can go many different ways with this, but I wanna start with what happened when he revealed that, that Nigel Lappin had those busted ribs in Grand Final week and, and how close was he to being moved out of that club?
Michael VossGUEST
Um, other than-
Michael VossGUEST
But to declare it is a different thing.
Michael VossGUEST
So, um, he felt, uh, that he needed to be able to declare that, um, publicly, and it's fair to say that through the coaching group or senior hierarchy and also from the playing group, it wasn't received that well.
Michael VossGUEST
Um, in fact, I would probably go as far to say that, um, if he hadn't kicked five goals in that Grand Final and we hadn't won so convincingly, I, I would dare to suggest that Jason Akermanis might not be at the, the Brisbane Lions for the following few years because, um, the response was, was pretty vicious, um, and somewhat repaired with the result of Grand Final day.
speaker_1HOST
We patched up a lot across [chuckles] the journey, but just in 2003, how involved were you with the discussions with Lee Matthews and, and Gabby Allen, who was his right-hand man back then? And remarkable to think that he's still doing that gig just somewhere else.
Damian BarrettHOST
...
Damian BarrettHOST
Jason Akermanis, uh, parting of the, uh, from the Brisbane Lions way back in 2006.
Damian BarrettHOST
And Marty, you were on the list at that stage as well, and you also happened to follow Akka to the Bulldogs, where it also may have blown up for him, uh, at some later stage.
Damian BarrettHOST
But, um, they were heady times, Vossy, were they? And, and even you were making public comments that were, was out of keeping with your way of carrying yourself.
5 MINS LATER
Damian BarrettHOST
A little quick history lesson there-
Michael VossGUEST
Yeah
Damian BarrettHOST
... of the, uh, emergence of the Brisbane Lions through the, uh, through their breakup with Jason Akermanis initially.
Michael VossGUEST
[laughs]
Cam LukeHOST
Yeah.
Nathan O'DriscollGUEST
Greg Williams and Jason Akermanis.
Cam LukeHOST
That's a good line.
Nathan O'DriscollGUEST
The half-forward line, Dermott Brereton, Wayne Carey, Patrick Dangerfield.
David FeeneyGUEST
Famous probably more so for rugby than for other sports.
David FeeneyGUEST
Also who went to that school, Jason Akermanis from the Brisbane Lions went to that school.
David FeeneyGUEST
James O'Connor, who's a Stephanie Cap Wallaby, went to that school.
Keith McKennaHOST
Mm.
Adam McPheeGUEST
Who plays with them?
speaker_2HOST
I- in my opinion, yeah, if the ball goes down forward and you've got Brad Shaw there, you've got Jonathan Brown, you've got Akermanis, you can't man up on those guys.
Adam McPheeGUEST
Craig McRae around your feet.
Adam McPheeGUEST
Um, yeah.
speaker_2HOST
And then the mids that kick goals.
speaker_2HOST
Vossy kicked goals.
Adam McPheeGUEST
Yeah, and Akermanis doing these ones on you and [laughs] um-
speaker_2HOST
When, when you went up and played them at Brissy, like, and, uh, you go in there Fri- Friday, Thursday, whatever, and you go and play them Saturday.
Michael VossGUEST
So you had guys like Marcus Ashcroft, myself come through that system.
Michael VossGUEST
Jakes, Jason Akermanis, um, Clark Keating was drafted effectively as a 15-year-old.
Michael VossGUEST
Um, so that's, that's incredible.
Michael VossGUEST
He didn't come as a 15-year-old, but he was, he was on the list.
