Essendon Football Club will be in attendance at tonight’s special NAB AFL Draft meeting for FOX8 show ‘The Recruit’.

The player selected at the draft will be placed on the club list as a Category B rookie, sitting outside of the salary cap unless promoted to the senior list.

Johann Wagner, Bradie Foster and Chris Moreland are the three players vying for a position on a senior list tonight.

Those three will be voted upon by all clubs on a 3-2-1 basis to determine the winner.

Once the winner is announced, all 18 clubs will have the option to declare if they wish to nominate him as a draft selection or to pass.

In the event that more than one club nominates the winner then he will get to pick the club of his choice, after a presentation from each club that nominates him as a potential selection.

Players had to be 20 years of age on or before 31 December 2013 and may not have been on an AF Primary or Rookie List at any time previously in their career or on a VFL, SANFL or WAFL club list in 2012 and 2013.

The draft will be broadcast live on FOX8 tonight from 7.30pm (eastern time).
