Well, this starts tonight so I thought I'd create a thread, so we have somewhere to discuss it.
For those that haven't heard about it, here's what m0nty had to say about it:
Out there, playing somewhere in Australia right now, is a weekend warrior the AFL recruiters have either never seen or missed, a man dreaming of an AFL career. He is 'The Recruit' and he will win arguably the biggest prize ever given away on a TV show - a guaranteed place at an AFL club.
THE RECRUIT is a reality football entertainment series that will follow 12 'Recruits' who will live and play together as a team, while at the same time competing against each other, in order to win this life-changing prize.
Fitzy and Vossy will be putting the 12 Recruits through their paces, both physically and mentally, in order to discover a player who is truly worthy of a place on an AFL team.
The series will culminate in a live finale in which an unprecedented AFL Draft will be held, with the winner signing a contract with one AFL club.
The 10-part series will air on FOX8 from Wednesday, July 16, at 7.30pm with an encore screening on FOX FOOTY the following Wednesday at 5.30pm.

Was pretty good I thought. Pretty brutal selection process but I get that they don't have time to flower around. Will be interesting to see what Burgess and co. can do with them
Yeah I thought it was pretty good.
Very harsh selection and I kind of felt sorry for some of the guys but they just weren`t good enough to get through.
Some of the players they selected looked pretty good.
yeah was better then i expected
enjoyed it. Yeah that run with the brick was hard core!!
You could tell pretty easy who was/wasnt going to make it.
There is probably a market on the winner? cant remember his name now, will post later.

yeah agreed. when it came down to the last 2 blokes (whose names I can't rememver) I knew both would go through
Better than I had expected
Liked "The Jackel", Kane Mitchell 2.0?

Won't make it, looked a bit slow and like he butchered the ball a bit.
My money's on that Wagner bloke that played up forward or the big blonde volleyballer that played in the ruck

Yeah looks like an AFL player. Can see him going far.
The blondey has only played like a handful of games and dominated the ruck.
Were johncock and sammel the last 2 that got through? Both tossers if it was them
haha I liked Johncock. had a bit of cow about him. the hard work will hopefully drop his cockiness but still maintain the confidence in himself
plus I think he said he's a St Kilda supporter, so good on him :P

He was bloody fit but a bit wanky saying it was easy lol he was clearly knackered at the end of it
I am not a reality tv fan but it was actually really good. Looking forward to watching it each week.
thought Waylen was going for sure
it's really interesting to see how tough it is in a new culture for him kind of sheds some light on the Garlett case

Was thinking the same thing. A lot of the indigenous boys that have to move away from home struggle and I always thought they were just being a bit sooky but you really get an idea of how hard it is for them
I only hope he puts in. Would be a shame for someone to go who would work his guts out to get on a list for Waylen to up and quit or not put in to the point they have to cut him after saving him.
Think Maxwell is the most likely right now.
Well that's a little bit of a twist there adding to international recruits to the group
I just missed this episode - anyway to watch it online?
It's getting good now - anyone else think Waylen got the captaincy and put himself in the bottom 3?
Guys where can I catch the first two eps!?
Just crap, flogging reality "drama" has to ruin anything I might find interesting ::)
FWI, tuned off after 20 minutes of the first show

so you've made up your mind after the first 20 minutes?
Jackal's been my fave since first ep, but will be tough since he is 26 so has some years on the other guys :(.
Agree Waylen coming out of his shell now and since going NT next ep, can certainly see him saying it's too much for him being away from home :-X. Hopefully not as starting to shine a bit more (after they put faith into him).
how old is Waylen? he's only like 21 or something yeah? if he stays he'll probably win it

Of course.
I have him penciled in for 3rd place. High enough that he will likely get drafted by a club but not win and ruin the show.
Quote from: kilbluff1985 on August 06, 2014, 11:01:01 PM
Really like Jackal it's out of him and Waylen I think
I can't believe you guys don't think Yoey will win. He bags pretty much all of their goals each game and doesn't do a single thing wrong and he's likeable.
I cannot see him NOT being drafted. He's my certainty. I think he will win, but if not, he will play AFL one day.
Im with you spite. Wagner has it in the bag.
He's the only one that looks like an AFL standard player.
Hes quick, kicks bags of goals, great leap, great mark and he's only 23.
Been the best on ground every game. He would have to get injured not to win it
Agreed on Yoey killing it.
Samel, Jackle and Yoey for top 3 IMO.
Surprised Reecey was in the bottom three last episode :o Also thought it was absolutely rough on Hutchy to knock him out like that. Having to break it to the boys himself was killer. Bradey to leave next ep IMO. Mark + Padraig soon enough.
I`m just glad Daniel Johncock got delisted.
He was a real dick

I just think they are too old. Both have a red hot crack and probably in the top few of the group but they are both little in and under grunt type players and dont have an X factor which a club would really want to see to take the risk on one of these guys.
Reece only in the bottom 3 due to players opinions. The coaches love him and can see his potential.
If Waylen can sort himself out mentally he could be anything. Started to look like the penny had dropped a bit at the end of the last episode so hopefully he can get some confidence. Going to be 2-3 years off the pace with fitness to play AFL though so clubs may not want that, especially with the risk of him turning around and going home.
I honestly think anyone over 24-25 years old can forget it. They would have to be a ready made AFL player with something very special about them to get looked at by an AFL club.
And just on Brady, I think he could go really far.
He is a mountain of a man, very athletic and his old man played AFL.
Just needs to get aggresive and "PUT HIS KNEE IN THEIR FKN THROAT!" as dicko said :P
p.s that was the worst spray of all time ;D sounding like a 14 year old whos voice was breaking

Agree, never really liked him :-X.
Yeah Johan has been the most consistent at the top every match, bags goals and they always mention his running for a forward is at AFL level and at "Elite" standard. Certainly should easily make it to the end, wouldn't mind if he won it either. Seems like a good bloke as well.

That spray was so bad... And think by him directing it at Reece, the rest thought Reece had a horrible game to deserve it, thus was bottom 3.
Quit it you two, or gonna recommend some time off for both.
Tbag, I advise you don't post in this thread anymore if you are just going to say you don't like the show after 20 minutes and start arguments please.
I thought they were gonna keep DJ around for a bit just for a bit of controversy/entertainment! Always kicking up a fuss. Was an absolute prick though

Good on you Waylen you are a legend for doing that.
Cant believe Mark survived
What did he do? Missed tonight
Heard a few clubs are interested in Rookie listing Waylen
How do they actually have enough players to play a game?
Who fills the other 10 odd spots?
They do a good job of only showing edits with the remaining contestants in it

Risked his spot on the show to save Moorlin dude
Still reckon the dark horse is Reece Maxwell. He just reads like a guy an afl club would take a punt on.
The 'real' footy players are either too old/slow or just not up to scratch, but someone like this is athletic and coachable.
Enjoyed watching Waylan take a lead role as well. Hope he keeps progressing!

As El said, saw a few shots where they had Indigenous players covering the remaining spots in the side. Must be a heck of alot of editing in order to try and avoid showing too much of them but can't hide it all :P.
And Chris had a few too many drinks when out and missed curfew by a few hours then lied to Voss about it. Got voted into bottom 3 and if it wasn't for Waylen saving him and putting himself in (he saw himself as having a bad game as Captain), Chris was probably the one to go home this week. Certainly great stuff by Waylen to do that, and as soon as he did it, knew he would be safe, as stuck out his neck to save a teammate who made a bad choice but had a great game.
From the teaser for next week, think Mark will stick around for at least another week after it if Vossy reacts like that...
Still think Smithy was so unlucky.

Yeah he didn't cop much air time but by the same token he hadn't picked up a bottom 3 vote until this week. How many AFL games are played on red dirt anyway? Very very unlucky in my book.

Mark shoulda gone. Dudes definitely not going to win the comp I think everyone knows that.
Felt bad for Smithy, but as pointed out he never seemed to really stand out (not that he ever seemed to be bad or anything), but he just like flew under the radar a bit without really sticking out. Obviously it is hard when they trim down full matches into like 5min of highlights but yeah. Still think Chris should have gone, how can you have another chance in a show where the point is it is their last chance?
Agree re: Mark won't go this week due to Vossy's reaction. Which annoys me because he annoys me. At the moment my fave people would have to be Maxwell, Wagner, and to a lesser degree Waylen and Jackel. If one of them win I will be happy :)
No offence but you don't want the first ever winner of the recruit to be a guy like Waylen who can just get homesick and leave at any time. He has talent but you wouldn't pick him on talent alone he needs to be mentally prepared and he isn't.

You called it.
Actually I disagree found this comment I think is spot on myself
"A sign of mental strength and maturity was to knock back Chris Morleans Captains call and keep himself on the line, along with replacing Chris with himself last week"
That's one instance though takes more than that to be an AFL player.
I liked the fact that he fought to stay on the line and be judged. But there were too many times this week and in previous were he has shown a lack of mental strength.
I thought at one point they were going to send all three home. Might as well have got rid of pods, he will be the easy target next week.
well there goes my pick
in my opinion I don't think it was mentally strong by Waylen to knock back Moreland's vote, I really think Waylen just wanted to go home, which is disappointing because he looked good with ball in hand (from the limited highlights they show anyway)
Who goy booted? I missed it!
Quote from: elephants on August 21, 2014, 06:14:30 PM

Spolier
Waylan and marc Cisco
If you didn't pick up from the Waylen talk El, I don't know if I should spoil :P.
Agree, figured he was going home from the teaser from last week. Nobody else would have made everybody tear up. Waylen had the talent but can tell he wasn't mentally all there, probably home sick and also all these rigors of AFL footy/challenges wouldn't help that. Wish him the best as liked him but I'm sure alot liked him! But with you JB, probably wasn't going to win the recruit as too risky.
As for the other one, about time :P.
ok, havent read any of the thread as i am one ep behind now.
Massive call by Waylon to put himself up for the drunk
See ya Smithy

Wonder what happens if the nominated club don`t want the player.
Going to be interesting
From what I've read it goes like this. The clubs vote 3-2-1 on the winner. They declare the winner, then all clubs can say they either pass or want to draft him. Then the clubs pitch it to him to try and get him to pick their club. Then he decides where he wants to go
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/the-winner-of-reality-tv-show-the-recruit-has-the-ability-to-choose-his-afl-club/story-fni5f22o-1227035795306
Clubs will vote 3-2-1 in a secret ballot before the winner turns the tables in the AFL-sanctioned draft and The Recruits AFL Category B rookie contract wont cost his team a draft pick.
That is the kicker!!
Saints or Bulldogs would love to draft Yoey i think
Be interesting to see if they pick a team they are more likely to play in (Melb/Saints) vs a team that is playing near the top but will be harder to break into.
I wouldn't mind drafting Waylen, worth the risk imo.
so does this mean that the team will be able to have one extra player on their list? no doubt that the recruit will be a rookie as well

They will be a B-list rookie and you can have 3 of them on top of the normal 6 rookies so like the internationals and some others they dont count toward the overall salary cap I think?

Any of those scenarios happen they have still been given a chance they otherwise wouldnt have had and will still get paid.

Yeh the Irish guy really should've gone before him - He obviously doesn't want to win. Did Vossy imply that Jackal is a one trick pony?
i don't think Jackal has skill to make it but neither does the IRISH guy
I think that clubs would be more interested in a player like Podric than Jackal.
Age, size and average skills count against Jackal, while Podric has size and time on his hands. He will most likely get delisted next week (or the week after seeing the preview) but he was never going to win it.

I liked Jackal but age was never on his side, especially as a small midfielder :(. Think Voss just saw Jackal as a guy who goes hard after the ball every time, but makes bad decisions when he has it.
They're giving the projects plenty of time to prove themselves, probably why they stuck around for longer than they should have. Doubt Podraig will win it, but they are giving him a chance to perform well beyond where he should if compared to others skill-wise.

Wow that is bs
Cannot believe the Jackal got delisted over the Irish guy
Yeh the Irish guy really should've gone before him - He obviously doesn't want to win. Did Vossy imply that Jackal is a one trick pony?
I liked Jackal but age was never on his side, especially as a small midfielder :(. Think Voss just saw Jackal as a guy who goes hard after the ball every time, but makes bad decisions when he has it.
They're giving the projects plenty of time to prove themselves, probably why they stuck around for longer than they should have. Doubt Podraig will win it, but they are giving him a chance to perform well beyond where he should if compared to others skill-wise.
only just caught up on this last night. Thought the Jackal was on the outer after almost being put up the week before. Agree bad decisions and using his tank too early as well and not having any left to run out the game
Surely Yoey's back is an issue too? Not sure a club wants to take on a player like that with a serious long-term injury concern.

To be honest I don't think it's an issue at all and they have shown it on tv to put doubt that he will win...because at the moment he's miles ahead of anyone else 😜
I think Gossy has the best footy brain but he spends too much time kissing Voss's arse.
Needs to do more on the ground and stop doging like a Kardashian

Get wrecked, I love Gossy :-*
Has the winner been decided? My mate keeps telling me he knows who wins but i'm not sure if he's bull showering. I don't want to go searching for the winner either because that would spoil the show.
Nah, the final is live :)

Well that delisting was fair enough unfortunately
at the end of the day i dont think goss was ever good enough as a footy player either to win, and with less upside than the "project" players i think he had to go anyway.
surely podric goes next week, along with 2 others..... who?

Imo Reece and Yoey definitely stay, Semmel and Padraig definitely go. That leaves Bradie and Moreland. I really can't split those two though, but if I had to, i'd say Bradie stays.

That is awesome. Gossy and Reece have always been my favourites. I think most of the boys in the top dozen will find themselves in the VFL/SANFL/WAFL.
Watched all 8 episodes over the weekend. Bloody good show. Favourites are Reece and Chris. Don't like this Irish fella tho.

Interestingly enough, Gossy was second favourite ($6) to win behind yoey ($1.50 in the odds prior to this week.
What's Morlo paying? I reckon he is a massive chance.

Seems like odds have shortened significantly this week.
Morelo's come in from $8 to $4.50 after Gossy's exit. Semmell in to $5.50. Reecy and Brady at $8 and Padraig waaay out at $34 lol

That's my order of personal favorites haha. Not the pecking order. Not that my pecking order would be much different. Morlo would still be my number one. Yoey second, i just think Morlo is a lot tougher and more determined
Yoey is a beast, think Irish bloke was stiff actually :o Will still probably get picked up
Think Yoey will win. Reckon Padraig > The Perfect man. Even though I don't like Padraig. Would like Morelo or Yoey to Win.
Morlo a work horse but reckon Yoey's to lose, consistent and has the dash and goal kicking ability to do well in the modern game.
Podraig I didn't much care for but stepped up lately but still think a long term prospect compared to the clear top 2.
Yeah disappointed that Reece went out.
Yoey should win the lot. Has it all.
Interesting to see if Yoey wins, or whoever wins, will get games in the next few years
If Yoey doesn't win, it's rigged.
Fast, electric, good attitude, good workrate, gives it all, got the skills (unlike Reece who is a shower kick)
Would be fuming if Yeoy doesn't win. They all reckon he's the best there.
This is also a spoiler a friend said to me a few weeks ago.
Bradie didn't turn up to his BWS shift because apparently he had been offered an AFL contract lol. This was when there was 7-8 left. So wasn't sure what to buy into it. But I saw Bradie play the week after the first episode and he was rubbish. They rested him on the bench for half the quarters then he played FF and couldn't find it in a team winning by 50 points.
Vossy also reckons 2-3 will get recruited, so an extra 2 as well as the winner.
Wish I saw this thread earlier! :(

Also my dad knows that Michael Hutchinson's father and apparently in the game he got 8 marks in the first quarter at half back. They chucked him on the wing in the second quarter got 15-20 touches and 4 goals in the quarter. Then the second half did a few bad kicks and touches went down slightly and then he got the flick haha.

So you mean Bradie has been approached by clubs in the gap between filming and now? Which is fair enough, clubs probably had access to all the GPS stats and stuff from all their games and obviously knew he made the bottom 3. Even if he doesn't win it would make sense that clubs look at picking him up anyway.
Wow at that Hutchinson story, sounds like that was a bit harsh! Obviously the editing could have made him look worse than he was.
Yeah this might of been a joke someone made at BWS cause Bradie just decided to not show up for shift. That was the excuse lol.

Same here!
As others have outlined, Yoey is the complete package. I don't think there's been one challenge where he hasn't pushed himself to the limit - he wants it very badly. Has not put a foot wrong all season and that's been reflected by his peers very rarely voting for him in the weakest three on their iPads. And boy did he look good in the Crows kit last week 8)
Semmel was a bit stiff to go the way he did but something about his attitude I didn't like. Also a bit of a showoff in the game against Warnie's All-Stars.
Bit surprised with Bradie in the Top 3 - I'd have thought Padraig would be there instead, he's shown a fair bit lately
You know what you're gonna get with Chris Moreland and it wouldn't surprise me if he got a rookie spot somewhere, if he doesn't win on Wednesday night. Still think Yoey is in front of them both though
I agree Tom in regards to what you say about Semmell. He just comes accross as arrogant, and thinks he is better than what he actually is. Seems selfish too
Was quite suprised to see that Bradie made the final 3, but with 2 rucks left out of 5 I guess one of them was going to make it. He might get an opportunity but cant see him breaking into an AFL side
Saw Bradie at the NEAFL Grand final on Sat. Never talked to him though haha
On the fb Q and A, they pretty much said who they want to go too.
Brady - GC
Yoey - Port
Moreland - Geelong
Bugger haha

would love to see Yoey in a Crows kit! Really think he can become something. Him, Charlie Cameron and Betts would form an electrifying forward line, and with Porplyzia on the outer he could prove a very good replacement
Don't know if he'd get the same opportunities at Port Adelaide - they're better-stocked with the likes of Robbie Gray, Sam Gray, Jake Neade, Chad Wingard, Angus Monfries, etc
GC would of liked Bradie at the end of this year with their flower stocks falling over.

I disagree entirely. You're comparing a big solid third forward in the gunston mould to neade, wingard, monfries and Sam gray?! Completely different types of players and that awkward sized forward is something port will want!

Yeah I don't remember seeing him at all, I remember thinking if he was even playing in those games as I never saw him, too.
Yeah I was at a loss as to how he survived so long tbh but now..
he survived mainly because he couldnt get voted out in his first week, 2nd week I think they dumped Waylan, then he won the capts challenge the week he most likely would have gone out.

There was a week in between Waylen and him winning the Captain's challenge that they booted Jackel out over him.
Good luck to all three boys. All pretty worthy of winning. Going to be a good show

Yup. Pretty pissed about that. I don't even know what they've seen in Foster... Well i'm about 99% sure Yoey has it now.

Similar standard to Morlo's missus? Surely ;) hahaha
Congrats to Yoey!! Now pick the Saints my boy haha
Yoeeyyy. Deserved it
So only GC,GWS and Port want to draft him
Wow only 3 teams put in for him.... Bit disappointing. Would of thought the teams that are in a rebuilding stage would be jumping on it.
Yep going to Port
Imagine going through 10 hard long weeks and at the end of it get to play with the Chad. What a experience
I don't think he's nearly as good as the show made him out to be :p

Pretty obvious a lot of clubs didn't want to be rejected so they just didn't bother. Interstate club like Sydney, Lions, Freo, West Coast were no chance and all Victorian teams weren't a chance. They just didn't want to get rejected like Sheedy did haha.

Hardly. Why did only three teams go for him? Rejection is no excuse.
Yeah was surprised only 3 teams wanted him
He wouldn't be any good at poker with all his facial expressions lol
What would have happened if no one wanted him? Haha
Good on him but I think he picked the wrong club.. Will be chewed up and spat out before he ever plays a game in a good side like Port. Should have gone to the Giants for a better chance at getting into the side

We voted for Bradie and would have chosen to pick him had he made it through.

Glad Wagner won it. I do hope he gets to play, agree that it might have been smarter to try and play at a GWS or GC.
There are some pretty handy players in front of him now at Port.

Not sure Bradie would have been as cut and dry.
Old man played for Fitzroy. So the Lions would be #1 you would think
However if he was told by the Swans you could be a premiership player in 1-2 years, that would be pretty hard to turn down.
The more vision you saw of him, he will no doubt get an offer from somewhere.

He said on the show that he would pick the suns and also on the Q & A on Facebook. Anyways I saw Bradie play for the Gorillas and he was fuvking rubbish
Top 3 finished in the order I expected
A bit odd that 18 clubs voted making Yoey the winner, but then only 3 of the maximum 18 that voted him Number 1 wanted him
I think next season and each season after will see the winner getting more clubs wanting them. This is an AFL first, so a lot of the clubs would have been pretty cautious this time around
I'm sure a few others might get a spot on a list, but only time will tell if any of them get a game at AFL level
Yoey wanting to play for Port since a kid will be heaps of motivation for him opposed to moving interstate away from family and friends I think it was the right decision for him

A mate of mine heard a rumor saying that was in fact the case. No club wanted a part of the winner and GWS were told they had to take him.

While im on a roll. Heres another prediction..
None of the contestants will ever play a single game of senior AFL football.
Hearing rumours of the Irish bloke getting a 2 year contract at Geelong, Waylen going to Collingwood, people on Facebook saying they played with Semmell at Rye and hes so good that "he will definitely play AFL".. People seriously have no idea ::)
Wagner is the only one that ticks all of the boxes to make it at AFL level but unfortunately he picked the wrong club
Need to give the bloke some credit for picking the team that suits him best not the team he is most likely to get a game at first, there is something to admire in that. His development at Port will be superior to the other two clubs in my opinion whether that will be good enough to make the team eventually remains to be seen. Im sure he knows what he's up against and obviously he feels he's up to the challenge, either way if he doesn't crack their best 22 he will be much better equipped to play in a lesser team.

If Bradie was on the GC list this year, he would of played the final 2 games guaranteed.
There was an article today saying that 15 clubs were iniligible to pick Yoey as there category B rookie spot was filled. Of the 3 teams left, all 3 wanted him.
Rest of the players go into the rookie draft and hopefully people take a punt
None of them will play a game.
If they can't get drafted by playing local footy/under 18 footy I highly doubt playing prison mates/guards are going to get then drafted

Mostly agree mate. Only thing is now they will develop more being in the system compared to being out of it. Just whether he will develop enough to play.
For those wondering why all 18 AFL clubs did not bid for the #TheRecruit Johaan Wagner last night - the truth is that 15 clubs were ineligible to do so, as they had already filled their allowance of one "category B" rookie, which is the category the contract falls under.
Rhys Maxwell, Brendan Goss, Waylen Manson, Ryan Semmell, Nathan Jackel and runners up Brady Foster and Chris Moreland are all believed to enter the rookie draft this year, whereby if they are picked up, will fall under the standard rookie category.
Mark Cisco and Padrig Lucy both can be rookied under the AFL's international rookie scheme, to which Lucy is set to accept a two-year deal by the Geelong Football Club.

Not sure if that's correct.
each club can include up to three additional players (now referred to as Category B rookies) on its Rookie Listhttp://www.afl.com.au/afl-hq/the-afl-explained/rookie-players
Most clubs don't have there full quota of 3x cat B/ Int'l rookies;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_AFL_team_squads
Seems a bit silly to have all clubs there if only 3 could actually even get one of them
krk004 might be on the money
I reckon it was all set up for TV. The clubs probably knew he would only pick Port or a franchise so they didn't bother.
I don't think anyone can say that the best player didn't win
Really happy for Yoey, has word his butt off and could prove to be a great player. Disappointed the Crows didn't bid for him though, he could have fitted in very nicely here, especially with Porplyzia on the outer.
Port small/mid-sized forwards - Robbie Gray, Chad Wingard, Sam Gray, Angus Monfries, Jake Neade, Cam Hitchcock
Adelaide small/mid-sized forwards - Eddie Betts, Charlie Cameron, Jason Porplyzia, Matthew Wright and (maybe) Sam Kerridge

So if Johann Wagner doesn't end up playing a game for Port does that mean the show was a failure and there'll be no new season? Defeats the purpose of the whole thing a little.

My idea is that more guys might try out for it now, the idea of being able to pick the club you go to could encourage some people who would have otherwise just re nominated for the draft?
yep that's what i'm thinking that more will apply thinking they can do better then Waylen at the challenges or whatever
just being on tv as advertising will get more applicants as Fitzy said to apply now

They are casting for a new season already, so we will have to wait and see I guess :)
Oh right, had no idea casting had already begun for S2.
Idk, it feels like if he doesn't actually get a game then the whole thing was kinda pointless.
But yeah, fair call that it's likely to be a little while before we see him play.
Point is, even if he doesn't get a game by the end of S2, it would still be too early to call it a 'failure'. I agree that the extra publicity will see S2 have better players IMO.
Ok so I'm bit behind the 8 ball as I didn't have Fox and wasn't able to find episodes till now. 4 eps in and way better than I had expected. A bit Survivor like which happens to be my favourite show.
I work in the health/medical field and the biggest issue I had was putting Waylan into that environment with the psychologist. It was incredibly culturally insensitive if you've had anything to do with indigenous Aussies. So much credit to him for dealing with it the way he did and for adapting so quickly, 9/10 wouldn't have coped with that and thrown in the towel. I also feel like the other players should have been put through a cultural safety workshop so they understood where Waylan was coming from as they definitely had no clue at the start and gave him a fairly hard time, especially DJ, what a tosser, Vossy should've cut him when he talked back.
I think with seasons to come you will get a lot more talented players coming out to have a crack at AFL stardom, bit like the Ultimate Fighter now where a lot of the fighters end up with contracts in the UFC.
with Voss now going to Port Adelaide, what does that mean for Season 2? Will Voss be coach or will they replace him with someone
Yoey, Darren Burgess and Vossy all at the Power - maybe they should just film at Alberton now ::)
lol potential applicants considering applying to be on the show then see filming is in Adelaide and wont bother
Oh god please don't let there be a second season, One season was bad enough
I thought it was wicked. any word on how Yoey is tracking Noz?

Quite well has been doing a bit of community work for the club as we start pre season on Monday will be good to see how he goes.
More than likely will spend the year playing for the Magpies but will be nice for him to knock down the door at AFL level
haha yeah fair call JB :P

Well, now there's an extra spot free ;D
In all seriousness I think the recruit being dumped and it coming back to tv has no link whatsoever, and nor should it.
Yoey was injured a lot and barely touched the ball in the SANFL. I think if they just chose a midfielder like Moreland, a game or two would have been on the cards in an injury hit team.
Really the winner of the next season can realistically only be a midfielder or a project player.

Might've had something to do with Voss joining Port, don't think they had found a replacement maybe...

He's actually quite a likeable bloke, just hates the media which is where we see him so grumpy and stale haha
the new season starts next Wednesday. even though the first was probably a failure I still enjoyed it. am looking forward to it
I've had it series linked for a few weeks now :)
I know the winner isn't going to really turn into anything, but I actually enjoy the shows format and thought season 1 was really good to watch. Not sure about Mick, but I'll be watching for sure
Yeah agree boys, I'm keen for it.
Reckon they have to drop the rules around previously playing in the 2nd tier leagues if they want to find AFL quality talent.
Starts tonight
Looking forward to it

I can already tell some bits are going to be a bit repetitive, but was a good show overall. I love the matches they play
I really enjoyed the first episode
Half way through it I told the Misses that Fab would be the one to go - too soft and not up to it
One thing I take out of watching a show like this is how easy it can be for us to take for granted what AFL players do each week. We just watch the footy and expect so much, but when you see these recruits and how much work is involved - wow you have to be ridiculously fit and skillful to play AFL

Looks like he can play the game a bit though so I'm guessing we'll see a fair bit more of him
I don't mind him, was weird seeing him chatting to Mick in the rooms at half time though
was that the Carlton reserves? I highly doubt they only kicked 3 goals
Yeah I don't get the matches - same thing happened in season 1 if I recall - super low scores
Probably playing something like 7 min qtrs or something
Im picking treloar to win

I think I heard a Dicko voiceover say "15 minutes left boys" at 3QT.
Not a bad season opener but I'm disappointed they didn't show us the process from 50 ---> 15.
I don't have foxtel but I was housesitting my gfs parents so I saw the first ep and enjoyed it. The next episode preview looks kind of showerty- having everyone abseil to conquer their fears... most people aren't afraid of heights, they don't have anything to conquer :P

Yeah that kind of shower turns me off shows like this, along with people crying...
Felt really sorry for Jason tonight.
Thought he was a bit of a douche last week but got that wrong, and the guy could have won this
Dicko and his one liners crack me up too!
Don't know if it was setup to seem that way but Jason looked like the best player there at this early stage. Must be shattered!
just watching now i wonder if Jason will actually get rookie listed or something anyway

Crew cut, kinda reddish brown hair iirc and was a pretty handy half forward, fancied himself as a bit of a leader
Like kb said got injured and obviously can't be carried through the comp
the show did their best to make him look good too at the end i reckon
oh yeah I remember the one.
Pity, he looked half decent in the ep I saw :(
Another good episode and good to see Darren make the call
Shylo didn't get delisted because he was drinking - he got delisted because he's a slug
Those Iron Women
Boy Oh Boy WOWEE
the dude's didn't have a chance, that's what those girls do for a living

Glad it happened. Saved 2 more weeks of having to watch it happen anyway
I can see why it happened, but got to feel for Rhett. Wouldn't have won it by what's been shown so far but could see the devastation.

Rhett's commitment and the way he applies himself is first class. Just lacking one key ingredient - talent
That strategic decision didn't pay off :-X.
Yeah wow that was big. Justin was pretty showere in tbe challenge though and when your team wins by 70 points and only lets the opposition score 4 points in tbe second half you'd expect your number 1 forward to kick a bag.
Weird call though, would've thought you'd put Jack in the bottom 3. Everyone knows hes the favourite so he wouldnt be going home.
As much as I reckon hes a top bloke I think Jayden will go soon, wont be top 3 so he'll have to go in the next month
Could tell Darren would be the one to go this week, gave him so much screen time
Hart to tell who wins from here
Darren :'(. He was my favourite but figured it was coming with so much screen time and after that locker room.

Agree there, much more safe call than a forward who killed a bag in a smashing.
Difficult to call who will win. Think Matt has improved quite a bit now that he has a better mentality regarding being an AFL player and could end up on a list because he's a ruckman. Nobody really stands out besides Jack and Adam who are usually consistent in their game performances.
I'm becoming a big Matt fan - not many afl ruckman who get around like he can
Daniel next to go, attitude/maturity just not there
Jayden a top bloke but just won't get in due to age
Matt, Jack, Jackson and Jordan are the real contenders, and I'd have Matt in front atm
The real winner of last nights episode = Fitbit ::)
Darren was my favourite too, but saw it coming to an end the last couple of weeks. Justin can consider himself very stiff from last week.
Agree with your assessment RD but Mick's got a total hard on for Daniel so who knows.
Anyone else notice Jackson's distinct lack of eyebrows? Can't look at the guy normally anymore hahaha
had a feeling Jackson was gonna do exactly that. dangerous tactic but it paid off. don't think the boys were too happy with him haha
Ffs Jackson. Really wanted to see Jack go through, he's been elite from the start and was crucified after a quietish game. In terms of running he was still right up there. He's so stiff.
We've seen enough from Daniel to know he can do amazing stuff onfield but he's a dickhead. If a team wants to take that on they can. Jack needed to go through and be presented to the AFL clubs more imo.
I thought Jordy was harshly dealt with by Lee too haha. He wasn't being defensive he was just answering her question, and I don't think she has the football background to be telling him he had a stinker haha
Yeah Jack was stiff to go, but that was a nice move by Jackson
Feel like the final 3 will be Jackson, Daniel and Matt
Jayden will cop the "age" factor and Jordan looks like a footballer, but doesn't have as much talent as the others
They go to draft night (Final 3) presenting clubs with a midfielder, a lively forward and a ruck
Agree with you Ele - Daniel is too childish and clearly couldn't live the life of an AFL footballer 24/7, but Mick seems to have a hard on for him
I reckon Matt is a near lock to get picked up by a club regardless if he wins. If Padraig Lucey is still on Geelong's list, then Matt HAS to get drafted
Yeah agree mate, Jayden will definitely get the age factor rightly or wrongly. From the snippets of his gameplay/running style he reminds me of JPK haha. Seems like an absolutely amazing bloke too btw
And I agree on your final 3, Jackson has made so much progress on the show so thats massive.
How tall is Matt? He's 198ish isn't he? Not really tall enough to be an AFL ruckman?
I also think someone's list manager will share Mick's boner for Daniel and he'll get picked
Yeah think it's jaydens hunchback that is JPK like too! Haha.
Think Daniel and matt have both played a few games for Nth Ballarat in the vfl this year and saw Jack just won the league bnf for Sydney's premier afl league

Will be interesting to see how far these boys go, and even if others like Justin get contracts somewhere. Apparently this years crop is much more talented than the previous crop and they had Wagner/Lucey both get drafted.
The show really needs someone to put together a career to be taken seriously imo.
This years group is easily better than season 1
I'm really curious to see how many teams actually "flick on their light" to want the winner
Did not expect Jordan to go through over Jackson

The only logical explanation is that midfielders are a dime a dozen, where as the 3 who went through offer something that isn't as readily available

My query on him as well, from the show they really highlighted how his off-field behaviour and especially diet is not up to scratch even when being confronted with it. They always harp on about his talent, but reckon not being disciplined to be a high level athlete will probably stop him from winning it.
Thought Jackson was a shoe in for top 3 for the past few weeks, so a surprise that Jordan came back into calculations :o. Still reckon Matt has it, otherwise he'll still get picked up due to his size.
Quote from: elephants on September 14, 2016, 01:27:39 PM

Yep, especially after Wagner was delisted after 1 season, they need the recruit to perform well next season where-ever they go.
Stoked to see my boy Jordy get through! Thought he was gone when it came down to him and Jackson for that final spot. :-X
Matt would be my pick from here, but I tend to agree with ele that at 199cm he's at an awkward height for an AFL ruckman. Looks to be quite agile though so mabye he makes up for it with his work around the ground.
Feel like Jordan has a lot to offer given his versatility and endurance, but seems to be some question marks over his disposal.
Daniel probably the most talented, but I don't think he can cut it as an AFL footballer due to his off-field behaviour.
This is an interesting read: http://www.aflplayers.com.au/article/how-the-recruits-rated/
^ Everyone was raving about Jackson and he looked to be firming as the favourite after the past few weeks so interesting that he didn't make the final three. Perhaps it was just a case of him not having any outstanding traits and just being workmanlike, in other words VFL quality only.

Neither, especially after the pump the coaches had given Jacko. Shame, but he'll get a VFL gig now I'm sure.

And yep agreed mate, good call. So many mids out there, all three of the boys that got through offer something special. I think Jordy could get found out if his kicking isn't up to scratch as AFL is a whole new pressure level to country stuff. In fairness to him though he's a pretty phenomenal athlete.
Overall probably the fair call was made. Jackson and Jack were both unlucky but thats how AFL is I guess.
I reckon Matt needs to develop is forward game because that's where he will have an impact at AFL level imo.
Also I was sad to see Jayden go. I know he was never going to win due to age and he was the token delist today but man he seemed to me like the best bloke ever, the kind of guy you'd love to have as a mate. Interesting to see he played juniors with Tony Armstrong too!
what happens if no club wants the player?
doubt that'll happen but I wonder what they'd do
"...uh... well.. bad luck guys... and uh.. guess we'll see you all for season 3. goodnight"
cuts to black
also, go Daniel
reckon Matty probably wins though
Jordan out first was expected
Genuine coin toss now. Will come down to whether the clubs see more value in a ruck or a livewire mid/fwd
Whoever loses out of these two has a good chance to get picked up later I reckon
come onnnnnn Daniel
reckon Brissy sold it the best, would probably get good game time up there
tough choice though. hard to say no to GWS haha
good choice I reckon Matty!
hope to see you play next year
Picked him to win weeks ago and really glad he did
LOL Collingwood flowering wanting everyone haha
Brisbane was def the right choice for him, and he's a good chance to actually play next year
Could end up being my R3 in SC too ;D
AF will make his price 300k :D

Why was it laughable that Collingwood put their hand up RD? We are trading Witts out so only have Grundy, Mason Cox and Gault (pending possible delisting) as rucks on our list. If Grundy goes down, I wouldn't really want to be playing Cox as lone ruck tbh.
Brisbane have Archie Smith and will possibly get Witts (maybe not now?). I think both clubs would have been fine choices for him.

I think it's because they've e been linked to every single player that is up for trade including some that aren't going anywhere, so it was funny to see them also chase a bloke from a TV show to be on their list.

I don't even think we have been linked to as many players as hawthorn and essendon tbh.
The reason we are chasing so many players is because we have so many holes to fill. Every targeted player has a reason to be targeted and it is the clubs job to go after them. I would be upset if we weren't linked to any players following our on field performances. I don't know, it doesn't seem funny for a footy club to be doing the right thing by their members for once
My recording of the final cut off before I even got to see who Matt picked haha.
Still reckon it was a good call, should get games as a fwd next season.
