Welcome to this episode of Just Havin a Crack with Jason Akermanis.

WE HEAR YOUR PRETTY QUICK

Jason is an AFL legend, playing over 320 games, 3 Premierships with the Brisbane Lions, Brownlow Medial Winner and Four-time all Australian.

Aker was best known for his openness in the press, speed across the ground like no other and off course handstands after winning home games.

Behind all this was a kid growing up with not a lot, a hard-working mother that didn't have a lot of time to spend at home. It was Aker and one of his brothers Rory who formed an incredibly close bond.

Aker fought for everything, nothing came to Aker cheaply. No handouts, no help.

Growing up and being hyperactive Aker turned to sport as his way of managing himself. Cricket, AFL and Athletics.

This story and the more we got to know Aker became larger and more powerful. You see underneath everything is a deep-thinking, empathetic and fiercely loyal proud man.

In someway Aker needed to have this journey to get him to where he is in life now.

Aker owns everything, there is no running away.
