We've had Fox Footy's The Recruit, a reality show intended to unearth hidden gems and give them a shot at playing in the AFL.
Given the standard of AFL commentary (diabolical), why wouldn't Fox Footy, or perhaps a commercial network, consider running a similar programme to find the next best AFL commentator? Is there a Clinton Grybas [RIP ] out there somewhere? The next Gerard Whately?
The show could run for ~12 weeks, or a shorter timeframe and involve the contestants guest calling games, doing footy trivia, hosting footy news on FoxFooty etc. The winner could get a guaranteed contract and the other contestants might still get a look in.
For not much expense, we might potentially add much needed quality to the commentary ranks. Thoughts?
