An intimate and unvarnished portrayal of the struggles and successes of a range of players, coaches and officials over the course of the pandemic-disrupted 2020 Australian Football League season, this Amazon Prime documentary series offers some rare insights into what goes on behind closed doors at football clubs. But while its content is often gripping, fans of the game may be disappointed that so much focus is devoted to rhetoric as opposed to tactics, writes Kenta McGrath.
