AFL coach blows up at filmmakers in ‘really strong scenes'
The Lions coach was caught off guard when the film crew came to the Gabba. AFL staff have had to step in and watch over Prime Video filmmakers after they 'ruffled feathers' at Brisbane during production for the upcoming documentary. Prime Video are currently going behinds the scenes with several AFL clubs to make a docuseries called Box to Box, not dissimilar to Netflix's famous Drive To Survive franchise that has been a raging success for seven seasons and changed the sport of Formula One forever. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Brisbane annoyed with Netflix documentary makers. 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 (Prime) 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.' Stream The Agenda Setters for free, live or on-demand, anytime at 7plus Since the success of Drive To Survive, Netflix and other streaming giants have explored similar ventures with several different sports. This will be Prime Video's second AFL series, having produced one from the 2020 season as well. The Test has been a huge success for cricket on Prime Video. 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. Others include Tour de France: Unchained (cycling) and Quarterback (American football), which are both on Netflix.

'Strictly intended for adults': King Charles III launches teddy bear version of himself - and you'll never believe how much it costs
King Charles III is now selling a teddy bear version of himself - aimed at mature-aged buyers only. On Monday, the 76-year-old monarch launched the HM King Charles III limited-edition teddy bear through his Highgrove House and Gardens gift shop, with a staggering price tag of £269 (AUD $554.57). Crafted in England by Merrythought, the makers behind the iconic Paddington Bear, the regal keepsake is fashioned from "the finest silver-coloured mohair plush combined with soft cotton velvet for a luxurious feel", according to the Highgrove website. Its left paw is embroidered in gold with the King's official Royal Cypher, marking its "exclusive royal connection". The bear also features deep blue eyes, a hand-stitched smile and what the shop describes as "a wise and regal expression that reflects the character of the reigning monarch". Dressed in the authentic Royal Victorian Order Sash, complete with Italian gold tassels, the bear also "proudly displays" a detailed enamel and gold-plated replica of the Order of the Garter star, the UK's oldest and most prestigious order of chivalry, worn by Charles during major royal events, including his 2023 coronation. "This limited-edition collectible teddy bear honours King Charles III's roles as monarch and as a dedicated serviceman of the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy," Highgrove House said. Only 1,948 bears will be made, each with its own Certificate of Authenticity and presented in a luxury gift box. The site warns the teddy is "strictly intended for adult collectors and is not a toy". The new royal toy could even rival the King's own lifelong attachment to a childhood teddy bear, which Prince Harry famously revealed in his 2023 bombshell memoir Spare. "Teddy went everywhere with Pa," Harry recalled, describing it as a "pitiful object" with broken arms, dangling threads and patched holes. "Teddy expressed eloquently, better than Pa ever could, the essential loneliness of his childhood." Royal biographer Christopher Andersen also claimed in The King: The Life of Charles III that His Majesty still travels with his childhood bear, which is cared for by trusted valet Michael Fawcett and repaired by his former nanny, Mabel Anderson. "Every time that teddy needed to be repaired, you would think it was his own child having major surgery," Fawcett reportedly said. But His Majesty isn't the only royal with a soft spot for plush toys- his younger brother, Prince Andrew, is said to own a collection of 72 teddy bears. Former palace maid Charlotte Briggs told The Sun in 2022 she underwent "a day's training" to learn how to position them on his bed. "It was so odd. After all, he was a grown man who had served in the Falklands," she said of the now disgraced Prince. "But he absolutely loved the teddies and was very clear about how he wanted them arranged." Though Charles' plush counterpart has a hefty price tag, buyers can rest assured that their purchase will contribute to a worthy cause, as the sale of all Highgrove products supports the charitable work of The King's Foundation. Founded by His Majesty in 1990, when he was the Prince of Wales, the King's Foundation aims to help young people explore the world of work, inspire veterans into entrepreneurship, and work on environmental projects- a cause close to Charles' heart.
