In Season 2010, the Melbourne Football Club is launching a new and exciting work experience program. The first of its kind in the AFL, it covers all aspects of life at an AFL club. Participant numbers are limited, catering for up to 30 students from around Australia.

The program will give students a unique insight into a cross-section of the inner workings of an AFL club, from media to events, football operations and all the excitement of an AFL match day. Students will also hear from a range of staff and players within the Club during the week, and gain a greater understanding of career paths that exist within the AFL.

Sounds like a great initiative. Click the link above for more details.

Not sure if it just open to High School students or Tertiary students. Call the club and find out.

That would be so cool, i often wonder how the MFC Beast runs.

Damm i wish i was a student again!! Does "Student of Life" count??

As part of a VET course in year 12 I did a weeks work experience at St Kilda FC. Was one of the most fascinating weeks of my life.

At St.kilda it would be more "How not to run a club" wouldn't it!!

Which year were you there??

I got my masters two years ago but i MAY return to Uni one day. Can I come?

I would have been all over this like Oprah at a buffet in my teens

Good initiative

I never said I read the whole article.

this is epic! to think i was worried what i would do in life..

Great initiative. The perfect opportunity for those worried about the injury toll at the club, to get first hand experience of what is involved at a footy club and how quickly the club is trying their best to develop Jack Watts.

Benefits from the experience include "no more whinging!"

Great call, i'm hearin you wish it was around when i left school....

After reading it I say its aimed at high school, as they allow a day for the teachers to visit us poor uni students miss out again

bummer... finished last year. good idea though.
