What I thought initially was the winner was only offered a contract with GWS. If no other of the 17 clubs bids for the winner than I guess the player goes to GWS?

Yep. Pretty sure that is right. Goes in draft order and if no one bids then GWS I think get him. Kind of awkward if he ends up at GWS by default and they didn't really want him. :p
 
Wagner must win this, because you can rule out all the players that are now currently playing in there local leagues, thats Waylen, Goss, Samuel, Ive heard so far in this thread.

If Wagner makes the final, Id hope Essendon seriously looked at him.

Exactly type of player we need
 
If anyone from this show is guaranteed to get a bit of media coverage over and above what their ability and position on the list warrants, then it's a lock that North Melbourne will pick at least one of them up.
 
Im not sure if I'm one episode behind or not, but I have seen them play against prisoners, and policeman...I'd like to see how they went against a team that, I dunno, has SOME footballing ability.

And can we pass on the silly jumping out of planes and off roofs, it's just stupid.

They haven't filmed the final few episodes though mate...

I was wondering how it will work when it's down to the final 3, not like they can play a game with only 3 players. Perhaps they are required to go and play at local level.

From what I have seen Wagner looks a real standout, and being from Port headland seems to have a decent reason as to why he hasn't made it yet, where the others (except waylan) would have been in the eyes if VFL and AFL teams and if they were going to make it, would have by now.

But it's a competition, and competitions should have clearly defined rules. If Vossy can tap any one of them on the shoulders at anytime and tell them they're gone, why bother with the whole "rate your mate" ordeal? Why not just leave the eliminations up to Voss, which is how it should be.

The guy wasn't AFL caliber, but I would suggest that several of the guys still in aren't either. If they wanted to thin the numbers down quicker, maybe they should've done a double elimination or something.

The fact that they're trying to find an AFL player is exactly why the players themselves shouldn't be deciding who is nominated to go.

I mean, it doesn't really matter, because it suffers from most of the annoying traits of most reality TV shows. I don't know how anyone can really make a decent assessment of who is good just by watching the show, as we barely see any of them performing. We see small snippets, which mostly serve to highlight how poorly certain players did.

I suspect this was Vossys way of getting rid of the 'good bloke' who was unlikely to be voted out in the rate your mate process.

That's not that bad. Michael Johnson plays at 88kg for Freo, but is 5cm taller.

BF should start its own recruit show. Call it 'Who Wants to be a Big Footy-aire'. And players can play where they wanna play, and we won't make up rules as we go along, and there'll be stats to back stuff up, and where kneeing people in the throat is against the rules.

Michael Johnson has elite foot skills, Hutchy had worse skills than Mitch Robinson. Was a good bloke but would struggle at VFL level.

Decent theory that is yet to have been presented. Seemed like Hutchy was flying under the radar a bit up until that episode.

Saw Padraig (the Irish guy) I think that is his name walking around dfo south warf docklands this afternoon. Was wearing a recruit top. He is a big guy. Not sure but Moreland might of been with him.

More surprising you recognised him.
 
On facebook it said that the next Recruit episode was on in an hour. What channel is it on? I thought it would be on fox footy but I can't see it in the upcoming shows? Can someone please point me in the right direction. :)
