Aussie Rules Question!!?

Question

What are those people called that run onto the ground to tell the players where to go, there always on the phone to the coach? I really want to become one but I am not sure what there called.

Are they called runners?

Answer 1

They are runners and they are often ex-players or people who have had some kind of association with the club. Although I am sure that there must be some way to apply for the job. All I can recommend is that you email your local or favourite club.

Like any job, you probably have to start at the bottom and work your way to the top, and I hope that you are extremely fit and that you have good awareness; we have seen a few runners get into strife on the ground in recent years!

Answer 2

You become one by starting at a local club and working your way up .. or you are an ex player AFL player with no job prospects lol. My partner is a runner for our local club and loves it, just volunteer Im sure they will be happy to have you. Good luck

Answer 3
