What EXACTLY are you basing this off. There's been nothing in the show suggesting this.

What? If they wanted to manipulate things like that, they would just cut it out of the version that goes to air. It's not like we heard every player giving feedback.
In which game? I thought they said he was very good in the trial from the first week. And as for the game against the prison team, you pretty much have to rely on what they choose to show from the other players/coaches. It's like watching the 2-3 minute highlight clip of a game on one of the Sunday footy shows with the sound turned down and pretending that you could say with any authority who the worst five players on the ground were.

Could be so much better if it was more of a documentary and less of a reality show.

I want to see more footy. As in, who can hit a target, who can't etc. I'm enjoying it but I still can't tell who is any good and who isn't. Apart from the bloke with the dark beard and Johan they all seem average.
I don't like the bottom there being decided by the players. Too much personality can come into it. How long before we see some alliances formed to deliberately put someone in the bottom three to save themselves etc? Bottom three should be decided by Voss and co. At the end we should have there three best players, but if someone they end up in the bottom any given week Voss will be forced to axe one.
if i was the captain i'd be putting the best player into the bottom 3, swapping him with the bottom player. That way you ensure that the bottom player stays in for one more week and if you are in the bottom 3 the next week he'll go instead of you.
As for the lack of scoreboard details i think they are trying to conceal that Wagner is a cut above. Kicked 8 in the practice match and kicked at least 4 in the prison game.
To me Moreland showed a lot more leadership as captain on the field than the first two captains - I'd love to have him, Wagner, or Ryan Semel win the contract they appear to be footballers not athletes

Havent seen one decent footballer yet, now they throw a couple of extra clowns in from overseas. Honestly, the number 1 sport in the country and we cant find even a handful of decent players?

Not a huge fan so far. The two international blokes have no chance. I wouldn't say that these blokes are the best non-AFL players in the country, to say the least.
That's because they're not. I don't think you understand the selection criteria. Without a doubt, the best non-AFL players are playing in state leagues. These are merely the best non-AFL and non-state league players. Their level is not where guys like Barlow came from.
Plus they're probably not even the best available of those, they need to pick some dickheads (aka DJ) to make it good to watch.

I think some people here overstate and overrate the level and depth of talent outside the state leagues.
TBH, if you're over 21 (as most of these players are), and you don't have the ability and commitment to footy and "making it" to at least be playing in or be in the frame for a state league spot, you're probably not good enough or committed enough for AFL.
Has there been one player in the last decade that was A) Over 21, and B) Not playing in a state league, and C) Not an International/other sport project, that has been drafted into the AFL in the past 10 years?

Brett Jones almost meets your criteria. Couldn't get a first class debut for the WACA so went back to footy. Dominated a year of A-grade, dominated a year at Claremont (WAFL) then debuted for West Coast the year he turned 22.

Reality TV garbage unfortunately, should've made a doco or something.
Is it just me or do they look incredibly unco when kicking the ball on the run? Most players make it look like second nature, and even those in lower leagues don't have a problem with it, but this lot seem to have a lot of trouble hitting it fluently.

The Erinsborough Dingoes have more talent than this mob
The Recruit needs more Toadie
Semel or Goss look like they are the only two who could possibly make a decent AFL player.
Semel is a beast around the footy by what we've seen and Gossy looks like a classy outside type.
The others are all kidding themself and are probably good/average local footballers or athlete types.
Quite like the show and will continue to watch.

Think this might give it away by accident??
I am an ammos man and noticed he kicked 5 on the weekend in his ONLY game for the season.... doesn't seem right i don't reckon. can confirm he is a jet so wouldn't be surprised if he won it. looks a lot better than the other cubs on there they will no doubt pump up to look equally as good... just an OK show for me

There's been quite a few posts trying to avoid what's happened since the show, whilst the show is airing. Some people are watching it and don't want it spoilt
