Drive to Survive: The Final Siren

Followers

January 13Jan 13

The makers of Drive to Survive have done a series on the AFL based on the 2025 season and guess which club features prominently throughout?

Yep The Demons. Just when we thought the trials and tribulations of 2025 were past us out comes a docu that will shine a spotlight on the machinations of the AFL and Demons

Great. The other clubs to feature are the DOgs (Bontomepelli) Brisbane (Zorko and Rayner), the Giants (of course!), Gold Coast (what a surprise) and Freo.

Strangely enough the Lachie Neale sag won't be highlighted but you can be sure Oliver, Trac, Goodwin etc will be front and centre.

No image preview — Big names star in new behind-the-scenes docuseries
The AFL will be shown to the world in a new docuseries on Prime Video

Well, okay. With a little luck it'll be okay and it could be interesting to see Gawn 'at work', rather than in an explicitly media-front context. I guess they picked a good season to document.

Also, I think I may have found the problem in AFL HQ.

Exhibit A

"AFL Executive General Manager Customer, Commercial and Technology". I'm going to go with 'title inflation and fiefdom building' for $100, thanks.

Exhibit B

"Final Siren is an important asset as the AFL continues to grow its reach"

They sometimes issue updates if an event supercedes filming

Not sure about that - the last season of the F1 Drive to Survive certainly highlighted Christian Horner's personal trials and turbulations

At least we know it will be a well made program.

It’s actually great for us, if we have a season where we either do great or even just above expectations, the club will be more likely to thrive when it comes to getting more players, coaches.

It would display a total flip in all aspects making it look a bit of a destination club showing great signs, instead of what it was in 2025.

Fingers crossed for 2026.

REPORT: Carlton
REPORT: Carlton

The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
