I watched it, it was good without being brilliant.
Most draft watchers understand the process but perhaps for some it was very informative.

Agree.
I didn’t particularly like Colin Young and his team. They seem to have a different approach to other agents.
Cerra agent was actively involved in negotiations for picks, where as Colin Young’s agency seemed to stay out of that part.

Young comes across and as arrogant so and so but is probably the exact opposite. McDougall is quite good though.

Surprising level of access makes it a worthwhile watch. Interesting seeing agents and players reaction to Melbourne pitches, doing quite a bit right off the field Melbourne.

The process on getting Dunstan to Melbourne was interesting.
