In this week’s #LionsTBT, we cast back to the 2001 Brownlow Medal Count when ‘Aker’ took home ‘Charlie’.
Polling a total of 23 votes, midfielder Jason Akermanis took home the Brownlow Medal in 2001, receiving maximum votes in five rounds in a season where he averaged 21 disposals and 13 kicks and was named a member of the All Australian Team.
The colourful player was an integral part of the Lions premiership-winning side, kicking 2 goals in the 2001 Grand Final.
