Season 1

Fifty footballers from across Australia converge in the hope of gaining an AFL contract. A competitive game takes its toll on several players, leaving the Executive Team with tough decisions on who will move forward.

The boys hit the field during an AFL game in a kicking challenge that sees some hit the mark, while others fall flat. Then, a helicopter drops them into the ocean in a team challenge that pushes some to their limits.

A bungee jump challenge tests the boy's courage, before taking on their toughest test yet - a footy game against prisoners. A shock twist after the game changes the competition.

A test in discipline has the boys flipping out. Then the boys feel the long arm of the law as they play a heated game against some of Melbourne's finest with another brutal announcement after the horn.

The Boys take on an all star indigenous team, before one recruits dream could be shattered in a matter of moments, when he makes a mistake that could cost him his future AFL career.

The boys tackle each other head on in the Captains Challenge, as some rivalries get heated. Later, the team challenge leaves a few of the recruits shipwrecked, and an emotional delisting ends in tears.

The final eight get a lesson in leadership by one of Australia's biggest sporting stars. Then, the new guys battle the old when the boys play an All Stars game against some of their AFL idols.

The boys are off to the nation's capital to step up their fight in the most competitive challenges yet. Then, as tensions mount in the locker room, which recruit's dream will come to a disappointing end?

A trip to Adelaide gives the boys one last chance to impress in the biggest game of their lives. Then, during some down time the Recruits come face to face with their fears in a lesson on courage.

After weeks of competition, we are down to the final three. And for one, the dream to become an AFL player will become reality. Join us live, as a specially convened draft will decide the first ever recruit.
