Making Their Mark

First off, I don't follow the AFL at all but anytime There is a behind the scenes documentary I will watch it. Well this one made me an AFL fan. Really loved the drama and intense world behind the game. Especially set against a backdrop like covid. Really well done and it helped that I didn't know who won the flag last year to up the drama.

Watch it.

I have admittedly never seen a single AFL football game but still found this series remarkable. With its ability to capture so well the highest highs and the lowest lows while zeroing in on several key figures in their struggles and heroism, Making their Mark is the quintessential film not only for sports fans but any human being who has lived through suffering and joys.

As a tiger fanatic I am biased but what a great doco.

Eddie betts and Nic Nat fantastic champions and the coniglio a sad back story. Editing is brilliant and the producers so lucky to have 3 Richmond icons miked up for the grand final. Loved it.

Admittedly I am a fan of AFL and therefore I understand much of that going ons When perhaps those who are somewhat unfamiliar with the sport may have some difficulty following. But take the technical side of the sport aside for a moment and you see the hardship of players families and staff behind the scenes. This could be any sport. It could've so easily have been NFL or NBA or one of the European soccer leagues. Even as a business person you can take so much away from the words that come out of some of these coaches and how they inspire their players or really how they inspire their staff. You see what it means when they say mind over matter and how it can affect your work and try and find a way how to build yourself back up again. Above all this series shows about never giving up. Ever

For many years I have wondered why footy doesn't have a media arm that produces top level documentary with high production value content like other major sports. Finally, someone has done it.

It's a great doco series that gives an excellent insight into life in the AFL, the hubs, and all the other factors of 2020.

Really hope this sort of thing becomes a regular fixture for the AFL and Amazon. Fantastic viewing.
