Just wondering if anyone is watching The Recruit on Fox 8?
I haven't got Foxtel, but I just checked out the website. I watched a couple of the contestants profile videos. One of them is Nathan Jackel from Rockbank. It showed footage of him training with Collingwood. I assume it was with the VFL guys because you can see Dylan Orval in the background.
Does anyone know of him? |

I watched the first episode the other night. Could be a good show, it's a bit early to tell. I noticed Nathan Jackel because he wears a black and white jumper in all the training events. That = instant favourite. |

I watched the first episode. Not bad.
i didn't focus highly on the detail because
a) I was being interrupted and
b) it's a reality TV show which should require the same brain power and concentration to absorb as that of a semi sentient mollusc. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Looks like a few of them have trained with the VFL side.
I'm guessing based on our track record with the Irish players, NSW scholarship program and category 2 rookies we may be involved rather heavily in this concept. |

Johncock got a clearance from Marby Lions (club he was at during the shows filming by the looks of his Marby training singlet) to a club in Adelaide... gawler i think. That happened in June so i recon he didnt progress much further?
Marby is coached by Brodie Holland and has has Medhurst and Russell Robertson play games for them this season. _________________ Beware the swooping Magpie. |

I reckon Bradie Foster of Johann Wagner will probably win it.
Foster is a ruckman, while Wagner is a key forward. It's hard to imagine a midfielder would win a competition to get onto an AFL list.
Jackel, would fit in well at Collingwood being a 170cmer. But he does have pace. |

^ I wondered the same thing. How does it work within draft and salary cap regulations? _________________ Formally frankiboy and FrankieGoesToCollingwood. |

They said that the AFL had changed the rules to accommodate. Keep watching and all will be revealed. |
