TRIPLE AFL premiership star Jason Akermanis has been appointed player/coach of Ovens and Murray League side North Albury.
The controversial character, who has become as notorious for his big mouth in recent years as he was for his big talent playing for the Brisbane Lions and Western Bulldogs, will no doubt bring more headlines to the country Victorian league.
He will follow Brendan Fevola into the Ovens and Murray league, which boosted the profile and the profits of Yarrawonga last season, finishing with over 100 goals and a premiership.
Fevola announced via his Twitter account that he intended to play for the Pigeons again next year - setting up another AFL old boys reunion.
"Got some great news I've just re-signed at Yarrawonga for next year. Back to back baby!! Great town great people #pigeons2013," Fevola wrote.
Wangaratta Rovers drew massive crowds and success with their recruitment of former Sydney and Bulldogs star Barry Hall.
Tadgh Kenneally also played for Albury during the season.

Well good on him I say. Personally, I think Jason has some 'cognitive issues of concern' and would be good to see him settle down, get a steady job and get his shit together. Like Fev, maybe it will be the best thing that happened to him and he will actually be happier and healthier. I hope he is. Maybe safer gig than being a player in the country. A whole conga line of blokes waiting to clock him I guess.
