AFL | The Recruit: Where Are They Now? (Season 1)

[@ALEXLAD94]

Getting delisted for not holding up a concrete block is wild

[@matthewsemmel4336]

Mate i was fuming for ryan, im pretty sure im related to the bloke

[@Idontreallylikecheese]

Agreed

[@LigmaFoundation]

Goated show. I wish they made more seasons.

[@ChuckGibbs39]

Don’t think any clubs were keen to sign the players tbh

[@buddysally886]

The nrl & cricket were elite as well

[@DoveyLove3177]

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.

[@JohnDoe-wu5gv]

Don’t forgot Matty eagles had a decent career at the lions before he got delisted

[@DoveyLove3177]

@@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.

[@bendubelyou9685]

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

[@riley420]

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

[@An_Economist_Plays]

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

[@cuzzywuzzyfuzzy]

Def do the season 2 well done here

[@Neil97_]

I was like 15 when this show coke out and killed expectations by far was amazing wish it was continued

[@brettcoles5262]

Great work mate, loved it.

[@ZTempudl]

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....

[@troy9524]

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

[@adrianmoran4800]

Yeah I was a fan of the Jackal too. He seems one of the best, then just got eliminated out of nowhere

[@andybombers3307]

This is great loved your work keep up good work mate 👍🏻

[@Yell0w_Lem0ns]

Nice edit pal. Keep up the good work.

[@jdh992]

Really well put together.

[@samiveyrpof]

Wow, very impressed at how well that was put together. Looking forward to more of these! subbed. Thanks mate!

[@VL_Turbo]

this was my favourite show man, i hope they bring it back soon

[@woodsie001]

Great video! We never had access to Fox growing up, so all new to me. Thanks for sharing.

[@ShakenBake178]

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.

[@mikel3030]

Great vid mate well done

[@Melissa-u7w]

Keen for season two!

[@kovaci0000007]

I was literally thinking yesterday about that first challenge of them running with the blocks to the MCG and then this video popped up.

[@alexmiles7039]

Great content love afl vids like this

[@Majicmilla]

I know James through Mac Uni. A wonderful person and great player.

[@holdingthebull]

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!

[@raditz_awakened]

show was good. need more!

[@willtaylor8149]

Love this series, I need the second season version!!

[@Makinematnight]

Great show. But I knew almost immediately that none of them would ever do anything in the AFL 😂

[@DoveyLove3177]

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.

[@JohnDoe-wu5gv]

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

[@chefstar77]

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

[@The_Tradie_Trainer]

There’s a fair step up from NFL or TAS to even the other state leagues

[@FeelingTruthful]

Chris Moreland plays at Coldstream FC now as i get to play with him this season!

[@maitreyaedwards3127]

great video!

[@eff8092]

Elite video

[@Bigboyandjunkie]

Can we see a season 2 please

[@superdogmanwithsauce]

This is elite content

[@sportsnut69]

great stuff riles should do season 2

[@cooperyates3426]

I kinda wanna rewatch this show

[@DougKercher]

Well done Riles.

[@IloveDeKock]

Was literally rewatching this last night what are the chances

[@DarkEnigmaShadow]

Waylen isn’t from the NT. From Billiluna in the Kimberly (WA). Awesome video but mate!

[@RilesMacca]

Ah ok mistake in the research there, glad you enjoyed the video mate.

[@SupercoachwithDR]

Ripping work, Riles 👊

[@alipareedanse12]

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

[@jasonxi8844]

Please do a season 2 where are they now!

[@vx_gridogaming5950]

I randomly see Brodie Foster at Brisbane Roar games

[@mitchtedge7243]

now do this but cricket superstar

[@jeffbrown2034]

Crazy how the bloke who came 4th had the longest AFL career

[@batesy8642]

What a show

[@cory5546]

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.

[@wheelson7895]

GWS or giants? Try again mate haha

[@cory5546]

@@wheelson7895 whoopsies 🫣

[@tangiers365]

good on imogen, james bracklin was a good one

[@MrJDH1111]

Small touch and was concerned you wouldn't do it, but thanks for swapping the pronouns for Imogen when she's introduced. Great video.

[@ethanslater647]

Do the other seasons please

[@shanewilson1759]

Never could take it seriously after Ben Dixon tried to play the "hard man" as coach

[@StingPenguin]

I always wonder if wagner had picked Gold Coast, if he would’ve been successful.

[@UltimateGreatness]

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.

[@peternut358]

👍

[@joshbithell2449]

I miss Football Superstar for the A League

[@1Top_Dawg]

Nobody else does, especially here. Fair enough though that shit started this failure of television and talent

[@lewislibre]

Tyrone’s nickname is “Treehouse”

[@mikel3030]

Waylen got a bit too keen when my missus added him on FB.

[@cadejames-lee965]

When’s season two out bc one of them is my mate

Just uploaded the video now

Next Hammerheads?

[@jdh992]

Wagner was stiff to only get 1 year. Also I think he should have went to one of the expansion clubs.

[@Anthony-rp6rl]

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

[@damochandler9364]

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

[@Tronter]

It’s transgender person, not just “a transgender”

[@lewislibre]

James / Imogen should go play AFL W she/he would dominate

[@mudguts6785]

😂😂

[@damosimo11]

Good show but god I hated that physiatrist woman on there. The way she pronounced ‘Smithy’ still infuriates me.

[@damochandler9364]

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

[@arnoldwiseman3249]

Truly one of the worst shows of all time

[@dansmart_76]

Ah yes the Australian Idol of the AFL…….

[@jackduncan7214]

Bracklin took one too many hits to the head

[@ma3stro681]

Can’t take seriously a female “mind coach” … 😂😂 😂

[@R0B0T1C4L]

Why’s that?

[@messi4brownlow]

What do you mean by that lil bro 😂😂😂

[@tangiers365]

huh?

[@katem32]

What does being female have to do with it

[@BD-yl5mh]

Ah yes, because women famously don’t have minds
