The series follows the ups and downs of suburban football club, Whitehorse Colts.

Each week the cast is joined by an AFL player, media personality or celebrity who makes a cameo appearance on the show.

The series is a great example of how Deakin students are using new media to get fantastic experience, meet media personalities and celebrities (watch out for a cameo by Guy Sebastian) and make a name for themselves.
