Originally known as TAC Cup Future Stars, Future Stars was hosted by Craig Hutchison (2009-2014),[1] whose production company, Crocmedia, is producing the show.[1] Former Hawthorn player, Ben Dixon, and AFL talent scout, Kevin Sheehan were panellists from the start, with Terry Wallace joining in 2010.
In 2009,[1] Sport 927's Angela Pippos reported from the field.[1]
In 2015, former Richmond and Western Bulldogs forward Nathan Brown succeeded Hutchison as host in alignment with the rebranding to its current name. A revolving special guest panellist and current AFL player usually sits on the panel to round the show.
