In one of the early episodes they said he was pretty close to the all time record for the draft camp agility test.

Given the interest does it justify the show as legitimate? I think it does for sure.

I think it does yeah, I was looking to see if they were doing a season 2?

Its hard for people to get a gauge cause they don't see much football on the show, but i know for a fact Chris Moreland is a very very good footballer

I would wait and see how many go on to actually play AFL games before discussing the legitimacy of it.

In the soccer version 3-4 players went on to A-League lists and not one played a single game at first team level.

To me this show makes the AFL (same as with the A-League version) look even more Mickey Mouse. To bad if for example and AFL club had spent a fair bit of coin and time legitamely scouting Johan for example, yet another club who has spent no time looking at him could take him based on what they have seen on a reality tv show.

Yeah i agree with that point but this is something that benefits the players more so than the club and i think its been done really well so far..

Lets wait and see

Obviously not too much interest when only 3 clubs wanted him. GWS and Gold Coast will look at anyone and Port just wanted to look like they're doing the right thing drafting him. I'd doubt he will play a game.

Interesting they he said he always barracked for the Power, does this include when he played in the same league against their reserves dominating the SANFL?

Would that really matter? no days there would be a heap of players playing footy against the side they grew up barracking for - from what I was told Chad Wingard was a Crows supporter but the way he has played against us everytime you would think different!
