Wagner is the best by far. The Jackle and Goss are very good players, but love to see Waylen win this.
Maybe right some wrongs Liam Jarrah has made.


DJ gawn. The 2 imports will have to go soon you'd think. Waylan is classic. Old Peter Street didnt look much different to his playing days!

Hard to tell from the footage we get to see on the show, but I thought Hutchy was a bit stiff to get the flick. Gave him a chance to go deep in the comp. Looked a smooth mover.

Apparently Wagner is the fittest and fastest player at centrals

Well at least from the first few eps I have seen he probably looks the most likely, along with that quick basketballer lad and waylan

its pretty hard, because i guess someone like smithy could be a good footballer, even at say SANFL level, but that still isnt good enough. but someone that is an elite athlete could be taught.

mark does look pretty average though.

really loving the show. thought it was pretty cool going to play at alice.

The show has turned in to a farce.

These 2 internationals must have to stay in, Whalen going home is ridiculous up against them 2 they may as well not even vote for them cause they'll never go home. Neither completed all the tasks for the week either.

I was loving this show now I won't be that fussed if I miss the next episode

Any television show who dictates a bloke of whom gets a spot on an AFL list is a joke and to me takes the piss out of our premier league. When Ben "Dicko" Dickson acts like an absolute knob just to get ratings it proves my point....

I love the show but Ben Dixon is an A grade flog.

Agree the two internationals are just taking up space and was devastated to see Waylon go. He was my favourite.

If I had to guess my top 3 would be Wags, Brady and Moreland. Like the Jackal though too.

What are the chances of Waylon being brought back on the show. Being reality TV i'd say very possible.

How bad was that throwing of the texta the other week talk about staged! Fu#king Flog he is.

I would have my top 3 as Moreland, Wags and The Jackal in order although Jackals foot skills aren't great. Whalen was my favorite as well no way he should've went before the international flogs who are there just because they have to be.

I don't think he wants to be there. He allowed himself to get the chop last night with Moreland trying to save him.

To be fair to the guy, he struggled with a dip in the ocean let alone a 4km surf paddle. Maybe throw the guys in the outback without shoes and get them to do a half marathon or live off the land for 3 days and see how some of the city boys went. I know they had a meal in the bush but that was more bonding than challenge.

The bloke was hilarious and had real ability. Touted as a top 5 pick 3 years ago he surely should not have gone home. Also proved very selfless and showed admirable qualities and humility. I'd take him as an X factor on my team list ahead of all the rest.

pretty much this. waylan was what made me want to watch the show, seemed like a great lad. would be pretty hard for him to do all of this.

there does come a time where you have to say, is this guy going to hold up to the mental pressures of AFL, and im not sure you can say that about him. i really hope he does get back on the show, or into the afl system some other way.


fwiw i dont mind dicko. once again you guys find something to whinge about.

its a category B rookie contract. blokes who have never even seen afl before get those contracts, so to say this somehow is different is pretty silly.

my top 3 would be maxy, morlo, brady.

maxy and brady are elite athletes, so they can be taught. morlo (and wagner too) probably seem like the only pure footballers that want it enough and still might offer something at afl level. someone like semmell seems like a good footballer, but i doubt would ever be fit enough to make it at afl level

jackal gone.

probably fair enough. at 26, he just looked like the type of guy that was a decent footballer but was playing at his limits already and had no room for improvement.

type of bloke that would dominate local footy (did a bit of googling and apparently he finished third in the association medal in the ballarat league last year, but has been injured or away with filming for most of this year, and also just dislocated his elbow on the weekend)
