There are 16 footy shows to watch this season

It seemed to me that Morris still doesn't get it. He didn't apologise, he let Bevo's apology stand in place of any accountability for himself. It let him off the hook really. Morris was unethical, Bevo was unprofessional at the time(although I loved it, still do as a one off where due). *Talking about the presser years ago*

Morris is an ambitious bloodhound journo/reporter. I don't get the sense that he's changed or learned anything, except for how to appear more above board. He has a better understanding of how to present himself but he smacks of the self righteousness of many media hacks who want the limelight despite how underhanded the tactics. That any detail or info is their god given right if they can squeeze it out of someone somehow, even if its a proxy form of white-anting.
I wouldn't trust Morris with anything delicate, he'll go for the scoop regardless of any damage done and just say its his job

I thought Bevo was astute, kept the goodwill going but the boundaries are the same and clearly stated.

Bevo is a wonderful communicator when he's on song. Refreshing and respectful and how he shut down Eddie's attempt to dredge it all up live and under the lights was both gracious and masterful.

Brilliantly said Pleather Sole. Self righteousness is a brilliant description.

His hair transplant or whatever it is, is, also terrible.

Thanks azabob. I hadn't noticed the hair! 'cringe emoji'

Summed it up beautifully Pleather Sole.

Bevo is clearly the most personally aware and balanced coach I have seen. By contrast it was evident to me that Morris has an ugly soul. Though he works hard at a 'professional' veneer, it is very artificial and he is just using it to cover the self involved creep he really is. Bevo cares about others. Morris cares only for himself and his grandiose affectations.

Filming to begin on new Amazon AFL documentary series based on Drive to Survive

The team that created hugely successful sports doco Drive to Survive is set to make an AFL series based on this footy season in a bid to take our great game to the world.

Amazon and the AFL will on Wednesday officially unveil plans for a new docu-series to be screened on the streaming giant’s vast global network, pulling back the curtain on Aussie Rules action for audiences near and far.

Camera crews will begin filming behind the scenes footage and audio of teams and star players from this weekend for a series the league and Amazon hope introduces AFL to new international audiences.

The new series – yet to be named – will premiere on Prime Video in 240 countries and territories worldwide in 2026, offering a fly on the wall peak into the inner sanctums of AFL action.

It will capture content for the remainder of the home and away season and AFL finals, promising “unprecedented, behind-the-scenes’’ vision and “give audiences outside of Australia unique insight into a sport celebrated with near religious fervour in the southern hemisphere.’’

AFL customer and commercial executive Bec Haagsma said the series was “an important asset for the AFL as we aim to have footy in every household in the country, and introduce our game, and our stories, to international audiences.”

“We love that new audiences will be connected to our stories and our game through this series, and our fans will enjoy finding even more reasons to love footy and its characters.’’

Ms Haagsma said

The series will be produced by Emmy Award winning UK sports documentary kings Box to Box which breathed new life into F1 through Drive to Survive and has created content for golf, tennis and the Tour de France.

Contracts for teams that will feature in the series have yet to be signed but more than five clubs likely to figure in the final are in talks to take part.

Prime Video Australia and New Zealand head of content Alexandra Gilbert said audiences would get “insider access to the moments and personalities that make the AFL so special’’.

“We’re committed to bringing fans authentic, behind-the-scenes moments that they’ve never experienced before, while helping to share Australia’s beloved sport with viewers worldwide,’’ she said.

Filming is also likely to include Grand Final day, with behind the scenes sights, sounds and interviews capturing the enormity of the AFL blockbuster for the world to see.

Box to Box co founder Paul Martin said “In the pantheon of international sports, AFL really stood out to us as rich terrain for storytelling potential.

“The world of Aussie Rules has everything we look for in our shows — intensity, big personalities, massive stakes, and stories that hit hard on and off the field.

“We’re thrilled to bring audiences around the globe into the heart of such a tenaciously competitive league.”

Drive to Survive has been credited with creating vast new global interest in F1, especially in the US and among women. with Grand Prix ticket sales, merchandise and marketing at record levels.
