The Recruit

[vWestCoast]

This is his first year on Collingwood's list. Recruited from the VFL.

There's always going to be a few but if you're a 26 years old and not being bog every week by a mile in the state leagues there's no chance you're making AFL

Ben Dixon with another cute spray

 

[Dogs Rule]

No idea how they keep a straight face through one of Dixon's 'sprays'. Absolute garbage.

He's a campaigner.

Dickoooooo

 

[Dogs Rule]

Dixon's clearly taking inspiration from this guy with his 'fake outrage' sprays.

Just checking if this is still the recruit thread or I hate Ben Dixon thread

 

[Milk Steak]

Really made the most of having Browny on the show. "So Browny,all we want you to do is stand above the top tier and make a few wise cracks while the boys do some tight rope walking to fill in an empty space in the show."

Did we find out who the best football player was from paddle boarding and tug of war against some iron women?

 

[damochandler]

dicko doesn't like being told his sprays are terrible

Feel free to turn it into the 'I love Ben Dixon thread' if that's what floats your boat.

Something was needed to float rhets board

Does SEN still stir Dicko up for his acting sprays on this show?

None of the blokes are even remotely good enough for the AFL.
Maybe if they made it for a VFL (or equivalent) contract, it might be more believable.

True, but it'll hard to sell a show both to viewers and contestants where the prize is a 2nd tier comp contract you could get with a good amateur season or 2 without having to put up with Ben Dixon 'sprays', and galavanting around the country.

That's a fair point.
To be honest, it's impossible to take the show seriously as it is, so I don'r reckon lowering the bars would hurt too much.
This crop is so much worse than the crop from two years ago and nobody from that group has done anything.
You can still earn decent money in the SANFL or the WAFL or VFL.

I'd rather them run the show with a bunch of international players and some indigenous players. That'd significantly raise the talent pool IMO.

That's not the worst idea I have heard.

Nah the best discuss thrower, long jumper and little athletics relay runner this week

Loved how they pumped up the kids advice. "Run really fast and jump before the black line"

 

[hench]

Why does Dicko become one one of the boys and includes himself in childish sledging during challenges and then during the game pretends to be a tough guy?

 

[BrownYouGun]

3 of them cut. Shows going well then

To be fair there's only 3 of them that have half a chance of being drafted (Daniel, Matt and Jordan) but still...


Also *ing lol at Dicko's stupid random spray

 

[Private Hudson]

Could Dixon be any bigger of a flog?

 

[vWestCoast]

Malthouse was well known for blowing up at players yet you don't see him doing random shitty sprays. Not sure why Dicko finds the need to

 

[CasuallyDressed]

Daniel and Matt are the ones copping it from the other guys yet seem the most impressive players.

Jack and Jordan are *******s... don't feel Rhett should have been delisted based on his performance in the match.

Why the * is Jackson in the competition?
