“Open Season”
by Jason Akermanis with Gary Smart
by Jason Akermanis with Gary Smart
Jason Akermanis is a sensational footballer that speaks his mind. He is as honest as they come, sometimes too honest. His tongue has proved indeed powerful and his words have come back to bite on multiple occasions. Whether it’s justified for him to have been sacked by two different clubs for his comments to the media is up for debate.
Seriously, I don’t think his sackings were justified. He did make mistakes and he openly admits that in this book. But at the end of the day he is a character that seems sorely lacking in a competition that seems to have become a sausage factory churning out the same homogenous product.
So now unbound by any contractual obligations to a football club, Akermanis is once again speaking his mind. Not for the last time I suspect. He opens up about his latest dramas with the Western Bulldogs regarding a particular newspaper column that ultimately ended his career. It gets quite personal but possibly not as much as the media hype suggested.
A worthy read for all footy fans.
