MORE than one player could secure an AFL contract at the end of a proposed football reality TV show.
The Herald Sun yesterday revealed Fox Sports was in talks with league chiefs about launching a program to help discover undrafted AFL talent.
While the concept was still being finalised, it is understood the AFL is keen on the show, if it is fair for all clubs.
Collingwood president Eddie McGuire, whose media company is behind the program, said there would be a draft at the end of the series to help find AFL homes for several players.
"We're going to have a draft, that's the whole idea," McGuire said on Triple M.
"We'll have a draft, so the clubs will be able to sit down and pick a few of these blokes.
"It's a chance to give young Australians the chance to live their dream."
Fox Sports experts would put nominees through gruelling testing to help establish their AFL potential.
"What we'll do is basically have a season, where young people will come in, they'll audition, and we'll play them and they'll train," McGuire said.
"You'll get an insight into what goes on behind the scenes."
AFL aspirant Kris Pendlebury yesterday backed the concept.
"Where do I sign up for this reality afl show?? #keen #needachance," Pendlebury tweeted.
