Were you a bit bummed that they zoomed in on Bell Post Hill Football Club for Morlo, even though most of the footage was from West Oval!

Nah not really. I think they would have had most actual footage with him playing in 3 flags there.
There was a lot of West Saints stuff in there with the juniors however.
He wont be with us next season. Hopefully Jonathon Brown makes a few appearances though.
With only 3 clubs wanting him, GC and GWS probably previously had agreed to say yes to anybody and none of the other clubs bother when they knew he would just pick Port anyway.
5 minute pitch by recruiters who were sitting there doing nothing anyway?

Do we even have a recruiter? seem to be a bit light on for staff at the minute.

I think chances of rookie listed players making it are slight but the Swans have been doing very well with them. Joey and some of the others do have a chance. I think nine weeks of intensive training in that environment could be a huge boost to their chances. I also can't help but think of Michael Barlow drafted five years ago at nearly 22 and Mike Pyke drafted at age 24. There must be other mature age and other possibilities out there. Congratulations to the producers for seeing the possibilities and making quite a good show out of it. Good luck to Joey and the others for having a go.

Should of picked GWS. The opportunity to be mentored by Sheeds would've been great for him imo.
Well, one was forced drafted. The other is on an international rookie contract.

I thought the same thing, but then on the flipside, they also have a lot of young players who are all competing for spots. You then are left playing in the two's in the NEAFL, which aint exactly crash hot. At least now he will be playing in the SANFL at the very worst, which is still a commendable achievement.

I don't agree with your assessment of the Port Adelaide list. They're deep enough for a young team. Also, you appear to have missed the point of my post. Port Adelaide is going to receive nation wide attention for pennies on the dollar having invested almost nothing into the program. That is smart.
It's interesting as I made mention elsewhere and have been of the opinion for some time but I couldn't work out Port Adelaide as it was obvious they had talent in their list. Clearly, Thomas, Koch, Hinkley and their team should be congratulated for their turn around effort. They appear to be getting all the little things right.
Then again, Port Adelaide shows what happens when you run your business as a business and reconnect with your grass roots. Rarely is it rocket science.

Why did they bother with the 'Bradie and Yoey you're going through, bad luck Morlo' part? Added nothing to the show. Bradie and Morlo are in exactly the same boat.
Surprised how big Morlo is at 189cm. Looks small on TV. His height with supposed pace, skill on both sides of his body and obvious hardness sounds ideal for AFL footy.

I thought the same thing but given he was standing next to a couple of giants with Vossy, who is still a beast, you can see why. The thing that stuck out to me was how big Yoey was. If Morlo is 189cm that means Yoey would be in the low 190's and built.
Yoey measures 189.5cm according to the AFL website.
I'd suggest a third tall like Yoey playing a Darling style lead up role could provide value to Port. He has a skill set that's not really covered in the 22. That's if he's good enough of course. He'd play differently to Westhoff.

Surely they'd be looking at making him into more of an Isaac Smith type? Porpoise is more of a small forward, Yoey is definitely a third tall with running ability. Initially would play as a high half forward type, then after a few preseasons could move as a run and carry mid? Think Porplyzia is a terrible comparison.
Had a great one but Trigg let him go
