Episode 5

Overview

Week 5 kicks off with a beach recovery session at St Kilda, then a Captain’s Challenge with the Jetstar Little Athletics, who teach our Recruits that they must listen if they want to improve – even if that advice is coming from kids. Cathy Freeman chats to the Recruits about making it at an elite level and shares with the boys some thoughts from her time in the spotlight. This week’s game takes the Recruits to Coach Mick’s old stomping ground – the Collingwood FC Training Centre, and the team face an opposition who know exactly what they are going through: it’s the last series Recruits, including the previous winner, Johann Wagner. Their coach is also someone familiar to the Recruit family – Michael Voss, who is impressed with a few of the current crop. At the half way point it’s a brutal delist, as the coaches move forward in finding who can have a career in the AFL.
