The women's revolution that has engulfed the AFL over the summer has broken another barrier with the appointment of Emma Quayle as the game's first female club recruiter.

And as Greater Western Sydney unveiled their new prize off-field recruit, the club did so with a sense of pride that not only had they chosen Emma, but that the award-winning Fairfax Media football journalist had chosen them.

Emma Quayle: "Plunging into the unknown" with GWS Giants.

"We feel like we're a club that likes to do things differently," said Giants football boss Wayne Campbell. "We're really proud but we now need to make a success of it and we are partly proud because Emma, in a way, half chose us.

"It's no secret that several clubs had spoken to her about crossing over from journalism but she believes in us and our future and even though she gets on well with (GWS recruiters) Craig Cameron and Adrian Caruso, she is plunging into the unknown in a way."
