Mod. Notice ANYBODY WATCHING THE RECRUIT???

[Equus]

Is anybody else excited about this? I know it's not Richmond based but I thought it might be of interest to some people? I think there is a Radeladian Richmond poster here that has a friend that is on this? Can't remember who.​

Anyway here is a little preview...​

​

THE RECRUIT is back, and it is on FOX8.

Out there, playing somewhere in Australia right now, is a weekend warrior the AFL
recruiters have either never seen or missed, a man dreaming of an AFL career.

He is ‘The Recruit’ and he will win arguably the biggest prize ever given away on a TV show – a
guaranteed place at an AFL club.

THE RECRUIT is a reality football entertainment series that will follow 12 ‘Recruits’ who will live and play together as a team, while at the same time competing against each other, in order to win this life-changing prize.

Fitzy and Vossy will be putting the 12 Recruits through their paces, both physically and mentally, in order to discover a player who is truly worthy of a place on an AFL team. The series will culminate in a live finale in which an unprecedented AFL Draft will be held, with the winner signing a contract with one AFL club.

The 10-part series will air on FOX8 from Wednesday, July 16, at 7.30pm with an encore screening on FOX FOOTY the following Wednesday at 5.30pm.

It starts on the 16th and I am pretty excited! A friend of a friend of a friend is on this and apparently he is really good. So if anyone is interested I insist that you check it out (if you got Foxtel)​

or if you don't have Foxtel, you can catch snippets of it on social media

Nothing.

 

[tigs2010]

Nothing.

Booooo lol

 

[Equus]

Booooo lol

I know I wish I had something to give...

 

[Jimmybob]

Definitely going to be watching this. Heard about it last year iirc, and had only heard about it again for the first time since then on foxtel the other day. Keen as a mcbean

 

[RichoLedio]

Can confirm I won't be watching this




don't have foxtel

 

[sante]

I'll be watching! My mate is on first episode and that's it I think. He knows top 3 but I didn't want spoilers!


Should be interesting!

 

[Hank Heavenly]

bit silly, I reckon a las I know looked into this, was going to have a crack and had potential to go alright, but I reckon you had to give up your local season to participate

 

[Equus]

It would be interesting to see which club will recruit the winner.
Wouldn't most club seem to think it is a bit gimmicky?

Be funny if every club said no

 

[RFC_Official]

Be funny if every club said no

Winner has to be taken as far as I'm aware.

 

[Equus]

Winner has to be taken as far as I'm aware.

If the winner gets taken... Does FoxFooty also get the rights to track their journey as an AFL player as well?

 

[tigs2010]

Winner has to be taken as far as I'm aware.

Is it to a set team?

If we pump the bloke up on BF, Norf will take him.

I know one club that might be a bit desperate for players.

Probably gold coast or GWS, since both of those clubs are the most gimmicky organisations in the country to date. Whats the bet I'm right?

Doubt it. They got enough talent already as it is.

 

[KiwiTiger]

Not on in NZ. We have the Sheep Dog Trials on live from Te Awamutu.

Haere Ra

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Will be watching.
Have seen a bit of a guy who is on it and he has gone pretty deep too.
Not sure how deep but last 6 I heard at one point.
He's fun to watch.
It has hurt his own local team though no doubt.

 

[sante]

From what I have heard 3-4 players will be picked. Eddie McGuire said clubs have been fighting over one already.

There's a mini draft after the real draft which the winner will be apart of.

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

In all honesty they'll probably unearth a ripper kid why we are recruiting some hack like Matt Thomas or Shaun Hampson and the joke will be on us.

On the op I'd watch it if it was on free to air for sure.

 

[I_Love_Thee_V]

i thought it was only 1 winner and they go onto the giants rookie list

 

[Nostradumbass]

Spoiler alert.

I won.

 

[Big Bad Buddy]

My friends brother is actually on this... Kid can play footy, will be interesting to see how far he goes.
