Malthouse ruined it when he booted Jackson Sketcher when he was clearly the best player. If one of the recruits turned out half decent it would’ve kept running.
@@ChuckGibbs39 There's merit to the idea though. There have been quite a few players drafted who were only playing local footy not long before. Tom Stewart and Isaac Smith come to mind.
As a kid growing up I always wanted to watch this show but couldn’t afford foxtel , so I greatly appreciate this videos and all of the research it would have taken. You should be proud of yourself mate
Great vid mate, absolutely loved this show when it came out. The Jackel was always our favourite player! I always thought when Johann chose Port it was going to be an absolute struggle getting a spot, they were one of the top AFL teams at the time. Always wonder what would of happened if he chose GWS or the Suns....
Yeh, realistically if you're joining a side in a weird way like this you should probably pick a side not doing so hot.. Would be a much better chance at actual game time
I went to highschool with Chris Moreland. He always showed great skills during our lunchtime games. And was usually a mild mannered kinda guy, compared to some of us.
How Matty Denis never went further on this show still baffles me to this day! He's won B and Fs at every level in Australia basically since... Northern Footy league, NT footy, Tasmania you name it he's a jet
Been a number of pretty decent mature aged recruits who had been playing local footy not long before being drafted. Tom Stewart and Isaac Smith come to mind. They just needed one of the winners to go and and do something.
He should have never gone to port, would of had a chance at gcs or giants. The port Adelaide recruiter even said he probably won’t get a game. What did he expect. Did it to himself.
I wonder if you would do it again but base it around the MSD. Have the players fight it out to be eligible to become a free agent as they can pick their own team while the process can be documented. Would be a great viewing experience and it would be worth the time and be more meaningful as the player will have a chance to potentially succeed at the AFL level. Some food for thought.
Same thing happened with the NRLs version of this the Rookie the bloke who won lou Goodwin got a contract with the raiders but didn't play a single game of 1st grade these sport reality shows no matter what sport it is kind of felt like a waste of time just something to watch honestly god know what the other contestants are doing now
Dickinson trying to the tough guy coach was cringeworthy. Seriously I see better sprays each week in local footy, if he tried that at a local level he’d be laughed at
Hutchy getting delisted was the dumbest thing I’ve seen. They played him out of position in that game and he did his job. That’s why this show was dumb
Getting delisted for not holding up a concrete block is wild
Mate i was fuming for ryan, im pretty sure im related to the bloke
Agreed
Goated show. I wish they made more seasons.
Don’t think any clubs were keen to sign the players tbh
The nrl & cricket were elite as well
Malthouse ruined it when he booted Jackson Sketcher when he was clearly the best player. If one of the recruits turned out half decent it would’ve kept running.
Don’t forgot Matty eagles had a decent career at the lions before he got delisted

this show NEEDS to come back. i remember it so well

Why I love your channel, Riles! Great editing and production values here to match with the great storytelling you do.
Def do the season 2 well done here

Yeah I was a fan of the Jackal too. He seems one of the best, then just got eliminated out of nowhere
I was like 15 when this show coke out and killed expectations by far was amazing wish it was continued
great stuff riles should do season 2
Keen for season two!
Great work mate, loved it.
I went to highschool with Chris Moreland. He always showed great skills during our lunchtime games.
And was usually a mild mannered kinda guy, compared to some of us.
Great video! We never had access to Fox growing up, so all new to me. Thanks for sharing.
this was my favourite show man, i hope they bring it back soon
Wow, very impressed at how well that was put together. Looking forward to more of these! subbed. Thanks mate!
Chris Moreland plays at Coldstream FC now as i get to play with him this season!
Nice edit pal. Keep up the good work.
Really well put together.
This is great loved your work keep up good work mate 👍🏻
I was literally thinking yesterday about that first challenge of them running with the blocks to the MCG and then this video popped up.
show was good. need more!
I know James through Mac Uni. A wonderful person and great player.
How Matty Denis never went further on this show still baffles me to this day! He's won B and Fs at every level in Australia basically since... Northern Footy league, NT footy, Tasmania you name it he's a jet
There’s a fair step up from NFL or TAS to even the other state leagues
Elite video
What a shame. It always makes you wonder if he went to GWS or Suns he may have played for a few years. Sometimes that homesickness gets ya good!
Well done Riles.
Great vid mate well done
Great show. But I knew almost immediately that none of them would ever do anything in the AFL 😂

Look at Matthew eagles stats as a defender probably not that bad despite his age and lack of experience coming up the ranks as a 18 year old
Can we see a season 2 please
Love this series, I need the second season version!!
great video!
Great content love afl vids like this
This is elite content
I kinda wanna rewatch this show
Was literally rewatching this last night what are the chances
Ripping work, Riles 👊
Really good summary however when you say these players still play AFL, they don't. The AFL is the national league, they simply just play football.
What a show
He should have never gone to port, would of had a chance at gcs or giants. The port Adelaide recruiter even said he probably won’t get a game. What did he expect. Did it to himself.
GWS or giants? Try again mate haha
@@wheelson7895 whoopsies 🫣
Loved this show- easily would go well on Stan for a myriad of sports.
Crazy how the bloke who came 4th had the longest AFL career
I didn’t know that about Imogen, that’s really interesting. I think we need more people like her to help deconstruct fragile masculinity in sports
I randomly see Brodie Foster at Brisbane Roar games
Waylen isn’t from the NT. From Billiluna in the Kimberly (WA). Awesome video but mate!
Ah ok mistake in the research there, glad you enjoyed the video mate.
Please do a season 2 where are they now!
Never could take it seriously after Ben Dixon tried to play the "hard man" as coach
now do this but cricket superstar
good on imogen, james bracklin was a good one

I always wonder if wagner had picked Gold Coast, if he would’ve been successful.
Do the other seasons please
Waylen got a bit too keen when my missus added him on FB.
👍
Small touch and was concerned you wouldn't do it, but thanks for swapping the pronouns for Imogen when she's introduced. Great video.
I like the
Tyrone’s nickname is “Treehouse”
I miss Football Superstar for the A League
Nobody else does, especially here. Fair enough though that shit started this failure of television and talent
Next Hammerheads?
When’s season two out bc one of them is my mate
Just uploaded the video now
Same thing happened with the NRLs version of this the Rookie the bloke who won lou Goodwin got a contract with the raiders but didn't play a single game of 1st grade these sport reality shows no matter what sport it is kind of felt like a waste of time just something to watch honestly god know what the other contestants are doing now
Rumour has it the winner didnt mind the Columbian marching powder
Common stuff
Wagner was stiff to only get 1 year. Also I think he should have went to one of the expansion clubs.
Dickinson trying to the tough guy coach was cringeworthy. Seriously I see better sprays each week in local footy, if he tried that at a local level he’d be laughed at
KapUNDA not KapOONDA.
It’s transgender person, not just “a transgender”
Good show but god I hated that physiatrist woman on there. The way she pronounced ‘Smithy’ still infuriates me.
James / Imogen should go play AFL W she/he would dominate
😂😂
Hutchy getting delisted was the dumbest thing I’ve seen. They played him out of position in that game and he did his job. That’s why this show was dumb
Bracklin took one too many hits to the head
Truly one of the worst shows of all time
Ah yes the Australian Idol of the AFL…….
Can’t take seriously a female “mind coach” … 😂😂 😂
Why’s that?
What do you mean by that lil bro 😂😂😂
huh?
What does being female have to do with it
Ah yes, because women famously don’t have minds
This is great loved your work keep up good work mate 👍🏻
