Broadcast on Foxtel channel FOX8, The Recruit will create history by creating a new pathway to AFL football.
The show aims to discover players from local, suburban, country and international leagues, who are good enough for the elite game, but have been missed by AFL recruiters.
The best of those players will be put through their paces throughout the series, which will culminate in an official AFL ‘mini draft,’ convened as the series finale.
The mini draft will determine the winner, who is guaranteed a place on an AFL list as a pre-selected rookie. All AFL clubs will have the opportunity to access the winner.
No sports reality series has been able to offer this selection guarantee until now.
The program is open to all footballers who will be at least 20 years of age on December 31, 2013. Players cannot have previously been on an AFL list, or have played a senior VFL, SANFL or WAFL game in the past two years.
If you believe that you or (someone you know) have what it takes to genuinely play AFL football, visit www.fox8.tv and register now.
The Recruit will air in the second half of 2014. National selection trials will be held in February 2014.
