Template:Infobox afl player Jason Akermanis (born February 24, 1977) is an Australian football player. He is one of the Brisbane Lions' most experienced and hardworking players. His flamboyant talents and bleach-blond hair make him an entertaining player to watch. Off the field, he is also very outspoken on issues concerning the Australian Football League and other codes, including famously threatening to switch codes to rugby union if the Lions signed former Kangaroos Football Club star Wayne Carey. He is also a crowd favorite, being famous for his handstands following a winning match. Akermanis is fluent in Auslan, often using it to communicate messages to his wife and her (deaf) family during matches. He is also studying Spanish and intends to learn Japanese. Template:Afl-stub
