A teaser trailer has been released for the warts-and-all documentary filmed during the rollercoaster 2020 season, with crews given rare behind-the-scenes access, including in Queensland COVID hubs.

Stephen Coniglio is part of the new Amazon AFL documentary.

Produced by Eddie McGuire’s media company, the seven-part series will launch on March 12.

Cameras followed six AFL personalities — Coniglio, Naitanui, Betts, Adelaide’s Rory Sloane, Gold Coast coach Stuart Dew and Richmond president Peggy O’Neal.

The decision by GWS coach Leon Cameron to drop Coniglio, the club captain, was described as “humiliating” by former Fremantle and St Kilda coach Ross Lyon.

The trailer shows an emotional Coniglio coming to terms with the decision, as well as Betts struggling with abuse from racist trolls on social media, and Sloane undergoing surgery.

McGuire’s media company Jam TV has produced the series that captures the highs and the lows of a COVID-19 interrupted season. It will air in 244 countries.
