I think Akermanis is a certainty. Also Tom Harley presents himself well and is always confidant in front of the camera.
 
Agree with Akermanis but Harley while his media work has been faultless I think he will join the coaching fraternity.
Nick Gill currently a reporter with channel 7.
I think the following have potential media careers when they retire:
Scott Thompson
Drew Petrie
Chris Judd
Campbell Brown the new Brad Hardie
Russel Robertson
Matthew Lloyd
Matthew Richardson
Nick Riewodlt
 
dont be surprised if mathew lloydes name doesnt bob up somewhere. as he has been on fox sports a hell of a lot when he was injurerd.
 
Damn, you already had Akermanis. That's what I was gonna say. He's already all over the place media-wise, at times he has appeared on three different footy shows on three different channels in the one week. There's no way a guy like him, with his personality, wants any part of the seriousness and pressure of coaching. I'm not sure anyone would want him running the show anyway.
Seems a lot of players go into the media after retiring. Rohan Smith, Leigh Colbert, Voss before becoming coach, Buckley, Luke Darcy, David Schwass, Glen Jakovich, the list goes on and on.
Aside from the two you've mentioned, I think maybe Matthew Lloyd? Also maybe Robert Murphy but his retirement's still a while away. Hard to say because so many go into coaching, seems it's either coaching or the media, many go one way or the other. Jonathan Brown would maybe be another one. He's originally from Victoria, and makes a decent amount of media appearances already so if he moves back to Vic after retiring I reckon he might have a go at it.
