Agreed. Interesting move by Jackson and I think it will pay off, Jordan should be eliminated next week along with Daniel. Can't believe he's lasted this long. Anyway I reckon the top 3 should be Matty, Jackson and Jayden.

They've done nothing but pump up Daniel,Jackson and Matt stats as elite standard.
Jayden and Jordan will go,

Yeah true, I just don't want Daniel to make the top 3 because he doesn't deserve it.


Daniels got " Been Given Extended Leave By The Club" written all over him[/quote]
Yeah lol. As you've said earlier, he's weak minded.

The issue is you can fix professionalism you can tell someone to get more talent, so no matter how professional you are you may never have the talent

But professionalism gets the most out of the talent you have.
Be as talented as you like, but if you can't be professional in what you do, your talent will never be maximised and you might be gone before it can be fixed.

Of course. But on a show like this, you are more likely to find a guy that was talented but lazy and get him to afl standard, than a guy who has been busting his arse all his life - if that guy was good enough he would likely be on a list already.

Realistically none of these guys will play a game of AFL. I think the final 3 will be Daniel, Jordan and Matt. One has the raw talent, one has the versatility and the other has the athleticism/height. Types like Jackson and Jayden grow on trees.

Be very surprised if any of these guys play more than half a dozen games of state league footy, they are miles off AFL

Yep, I think Wagner who won the first season only played a handful of games for port magpies and he looked a lot better player than the ones in this season. Saying that though it's hard to judge on the snippets of football they show each episode

Mrs Jase and I were staggered that they kept Jordan....

We though Jackson was more likely to be the second into the final behind Matty E....

I wasn't surprised at all, the coaches pointed out a few times throughout the season Jordan's versatility to play multiple positions.
Every club already has their share of Jackson/Jayden types. I reckon any AFL club with a shortage of niche players (Quick small forwards - Daniel, Multiple position player - Jordan or Ruckman type - Matt) will determine the winner.

My tip - Daniel

Yeah good point, AFL clubs always have a plethora of midfielders to choose from and Jackson and Jayden probably wouldn't make the cut.

Yep sitting through 100 overs of the Redbacks would be better than watching 5 minutes of that rubbish
