This doco, first up is brilliant. However I do question the timing of the series considering the underlying theme of Covid. Watching the episodes reminds me of what the world has gone through and its a little close to home as much of the crisis still continues. Its a little eerie at times.
On the other hand it is an incredible insight into what the players and the teams went through to provide some respite to the public when everything was so bleak. Being able to look forward to a game of footy was so wonderful that it allowed you to occasionally forget about the problems of the virus.
The one weakness of the series (and a tough balance to meet) is that it assumes you are familiar to the sport. New fans or those curious may wonder what the hell is going on.
Well done to all involved, for me it was compelling (if at times confronting) to see.
On a personal note I got to see my team play more games than ever before due to the hubs and it was an opportunity I will never forget :)
Go Tiges!
