AFL staff have had to step in and watch over Netflix filmmakers after they “ruffled feathers” at Brisbane during production for the upcoming documentary.

Netflix are currently going behinds the scenes with several AFL clubs to make a docuseries not dissimilar to the famous Drive To Survive franchise that has been a raging success for seven seasons and changed the sport of Formula One forever.

But it appears there was one fairly important person who was left off the email chain before filmmakers turned up to follow Brisbane, with Lions coach Chris Fagan “absolutely filthy” at how it played out.

“AFL staff themselves have now gone on the road with this production crew because they have ruffled feathers,” Caroline Wilson told The Agenda Setters on Monday night.

“But the really strong scenes took place at the Gabba. They (Netflix) turned up the week of the Q-Clash, Chris Fagan was absolutely filthy, said he had no idea that they were coming on board, and had he known, he wouldn’t have agreed to it.

“I think he agreed after a conversation with (footy boss) Danny Daly. Perhaps he hadn’t really been paying attention, but I don’t think he was thrilled.

“But they’ve left the Gabba now, they won’t be back.

“They’re at the Gold Coast — I think there was some dissatisfaction too at the Gold Coast, at how many players they wanted to get involved. Certainly Touk Miller’s involved there.

“And interestingly, the Melbourne Football Club have become involved in recent days since the sacking of Simon Goodwin.”

Since the success of Drive To Survive, Netflix and other streaming giants have explored similar ventures with several different sports.

Netflix’s Full Swing, which is golf’s version of Drive To Survive, has been a major success over its three seasons.

Break Point, which was a similar show for tennis, was not received quite as well, and only lasted one series.

The Test has been a huge success for cricket on Amazon Prime, who did an AFL series of their own after the 2020 season.

Others include Tour de France: Unchained (cycling) and Quarterback (American football), which are both on Netflix.
