AFL legend Jason Akermanis has been slammed by viewers for appearing to fake an injury in order to quit SAS Australia.
Viewers have slammed Jason Akermanis after the AFL legend appeared to shamelessly quit a reality show in its very first episode.The new season of the reality TV show began on Monday night, with the contestants tasked with completing gruelling tasks and challenges in military style conditions.
Akermanis was one of several Australian sporting identities appearing as contestants, along with Matthew Mitcham, Stephanie Rice, Boyd Cordner, Peter Bol, Anthony Mundine and Abbie Holmes. Akermanis, who won three premierships with the Brisbane Lions, completed an exercise involving running onto a train to retrieve a military case before jumping off the train.In a seriously painful exchange, Akermanis tried to convince the SAS doctor to medically discharge him despite the doctor seeing nothing wrong with his foot.Nah but it’s painful. I don’t know if I’ve cracked a bone in there. I did some running and f*** me, I was in so much pain.
I don’t think you’ve broken a bone. It’s not like you’ve twisted it or rolled it or come off an obstacle funny.I’m telling you, there’s nothing we can do if it’s going to be that painful. So either I get a discharge or I just have to say I physically can’t do it.But I’m not seeing anything here that would lead me to think I need to medically take you off the course to be honest.Put your boots back on.
A bombshell trade request has taken the footy world by surprise, as a Collingwood star looms as a big loser of the AFL Trade Period.Essendon is confirmed to have a fourth trade target in its sights as it pulled off the first of its big free agency moves on Monday.
