Star Dockers to feature in new Amazon doco
Star Fremantle players will be part of a new landmark Amazon series as the AFL looks to cash in on the explosion of sports documentaries.
The as-yet-named series will be produced by the same company behind the hugely popular Drive to Survive, which has seen a massive surge in popularity for Formula One.
According to SEN, the company is already in Australia and working with five clubs inlcuding Fremantle as well as GWS, Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast and the Brisbane Lions.
It will not be the first time the streaming giant has worked with the league, having produced Marking Their Mark in 2021 which followed four players throughout the COVID-affected 2020 season, including West Coast star Nic Naitanui as well as several coaches.
Much like that series, this new production is set to focus on the personal journey of several star players at each club rather than the team as a whole.
Given Fremantle is on the verge of finals after one of their biggest wins in club history, it could be the perfect time for the club to showcase some of its inner workings.
It has not yet been revealed which Dockers have been followed around, but forward Sam Switkowski firmly ruled himself out of contention.
'I can't say it will involve me too much,' he joked.
'I haven't noticed any extra cameras or anything like that, so I'm not too sure who will be in it.
'It will be good for the club, good for the sport as a whole, to be able to see a little bit more of what goes on for our fans and members.'

From BookTok to New York Times bestseller: How Aussie teacher defied the odds
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here She'd spent the last few years working part-time while pursuing a writing career that had landed her on bestseller lists around the world. Passionate about education as well as authoring, she worked hard to juggle both careers. That ended in early 2025. Once a primary school teacher, now you can find Stacey McEwan's name on bestseller lists around the world. (Stacey McEwan/Facebook) "Due to the critical teacher shortage , I was told 'you either need to come back to teaching full time or you need to quit,'" McEwan told "So I quit the department altogether, and just went full throttle on authoring." Have you got a story? Contact reporter Maddison Leach at mleach@ Fortunately, her latest release A Forbidden Alchemy released to rave reviews in July and even earned a spot on the New York Times bestseller list. But McEwan is painfully aware that her success (and income) as an author is not guaranteed, even with one of the most powerful online communities behind her. Born and raised on the Gold Coast, McEwan spent 11 years in the classroom. She wrote fantasy novels on the side and tried getting a few published but was rejected again and again. "I didn't really know what I was doing," she admitted. McEwan spent years writing books and being rejected by publishers before her debut novel was picked up/ (Instagram/@staceymcewanbooks) The Australian publishing industry is highly competitive and the odds of a debut author's unsolicited submission actually being purchased for publication are low. Knowing that, McEwan focused on teaching until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Like millions of Aussies, she downloaded TikTok as a way to pass the time during lockdown and was immediately sucked into BookTok, the app's reading community. There she racked up thousands of followers "almost overnight". It was her husband who suggested she leverage that budding internet fame to self-publish her first novel, a fantasy book she'd already written. Instead, British-based publisher Angry Robot "swept in" and offered to buy it. McEwan planned to self-publish her first novel, Ledge, until a publisher "swept in" and offered her a book deal. (Stacey McEwan/Facebook) McEwan signed her first book deal and published her debut fantasy novel, Ledge , in 2021. Two sequels followed in 2023 and 2024. The Aussie mum of two admits she owes a lot of her initial success to TikTok and timing. "I'm not too proud to say that if I hadn't have put my idiot face online, that this wouldn't be happening right now," she said. There's no doubt the Angry Robot book deal was influenced by her BookTok popularity and the fact that she was pushing a romantasy (romance and fantasy) novel right as the genre was exploding. And romantasy is its hottest subgenre right now. "It was really just a case of perfect timing," McEwan said. Her first three novels became bestsellers, boosting her social profile even more. But in the age of online hate mobs and celebrity 'cancellations', being a big deal on social media doesn't always have a happy ending. All it takes is one move – legitimate, or perceived – for an author to get 'cancelled' these days. It can make the career feel precarious, especially for breakout authors like McEwan who owe so much of their fame to online popularity. McEwan signed her first book deal during the pandemic and is now a bestselling author. (Instagram/@staceymcewanbooks) "Being of any kind of public figure on social media feels a lot like putting your head on a chopping block and just hoping that no one swings the blade," she said. "It's the wild, wild west out there and one certainly does have to be careful." It's up to most authors to run their own social media accounts, promoting their books and interacting with fans while also making sure they don't say or do the wrong thing. Because being 'cancelled' can tank book sales and slash an author's income in an instant and most don't have huge advances or established fortunes to fall back on. "I got an advance for [my first book], but it was a small amount and it certainly wasn't anything that was going to set me up for the future," McEwan said. "I really had to rely on how well the book was going to sell." Back then she had her teaching career to fall back on but that's gone now. While she was still teaching part-time, McEwan landed a global deal with publishing powerhouse Simon & Schuster for her next duology. The advance alone was enough to finance her for a year, so she took unpaid leave from teaching to write A Forbidden Alchemy. The novel follows Nina Harrow and Patrick Colson, childhood friends who find themselves on opposite sides of a war fuelled by class inequality. "I like the idea of the lower classes questioning why it is that they must remain so," McEwan said. McEwan took unpaid leave from teaching to write A Forbidden Alchemy. (Simon & Schuster) Months before it hit shelves, McEwan was told she had to go back to teaching full-time or quit altogether. She chose the latter and so far, it's been the right choice. McEwan just returned from the very successful US leg of her A Forbidden Alchemy book tour and you can walk into bookstores all over Australia and find her name staring back at you from the 'bestseller' shelves. "I have a lot of people that I went to school with, that I used to work with, past teachers, students, [and] employers going, 'what's happening?'" McEwan said. "'Is this you, or is this just someone with your name?' ... those reactions only fuel me."

Hawks ‘all in' on landing superstar duo Harley Reid and Zak Butters
Hawthorn is 'all in' on West Coast's Harley Reid and Port Adelaide's Zak Butters this year, according to Nine's Tom Morris, as the club looks to make a big splash. Reid isn't out of contract until next year, but Morris has previously reported the former No. 1 pick will either sign an Eagles extension or seek a trade to a Victorian club — not go into 2026 on an expiring deal. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Reid's management has reportedly made a counter offer to West Coast in the vicinity of $24 million over 10 years — a two-year deal until 2027 then a nine-year extension — with the Hawks, Bombers and Cats among the rival clubs most consistently linked to the 20-year old. Meanwhile, Butters isn't a free agent until next year and is expected to see out his contract with the Power, before the Victorian makes a call on his future. However Morris revealed that hasn't deterred Hawthorn from making a push for the superstar midfielder, with the Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera call looming in the background as a potential way in for a Butters trade. 'Hawthorn is all in on both (Reid and Butters),' Morris said on Footy Classified. 'The answer back on Zak Butters so far is no. It's not stopping the Hawks having a crack. They're going to keep having a go. 'In the understanding that, if Wanganeen-Milera gets to Port, maybe there might be half a chance for Butters to go. 'That's one to keep an eye on this trade period.' Hawthorn coach Sam Mitchell spoke out about rumours surrounding the club's interest in Reid last month. 'I saw the word obsessed and I went in the next day and I said to a couple of list guys, 'Are we obsessed with Harley Reid?' and then I saw some of the numbers that were getting thrown up and I said 'What is happening here?' And they're like 'just don't even read the papers',' Mitchell said on SEN's Fireball. 'He's obviously a good player but he's contracted to West Coast and he's having a pretty good year. A bit like 'Daysy' getting sat on in his first game back, it's a bit like, 'oh', I mean this 20-year-old is getting sat on most weeks now. He's a good player.' With the largest deal ever seen in AFL history reportedly on the table, Mitchell said the financial side of it would be difficult for the club. 'With our midfield as an example, being pretty workman-like and making sure that we're consistent across the board. If you're putting $2 million into one player, that makes it a little bit more difficult of course,' he said.

The inside story of the $1.2m Demons axing of Simon Goodwin
Melbourne and Simon Goodwin being misaligned on the club's premiership timeline and the Demons not wanting the premiership coach to depart at 'rock bottom' reportedly played key roles in the decision to part ways. But the club will need to pay out Goodwin in excess of $1.2 million as it faces several big calls on its list for the next coach, with a number of stars' fates unknown. Herald Sun reporter Jon Ralph explained the 'two key flash points' that led to Melbourne's call to axe Goodwin, which was 'months in the making' dating back to a dismal 0-5 start to the season. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. The 7-13 Demons have been on a gradual decline since their historic 2021 premiership, including missing finals the last two seasons. However Goodwin, much like he professed in his exit press conference, thought the club was close to contending again. 'Simon Goodwin presented to that board on Monday night, it was all about how this club would compete for a premiership next year: 'We're so close, we can sniff it'. 'That board was diametrically opposed to that view. They were crystal clear this was a club that needed some kind of step or two backwards before it pushed forward,' Ralph told Fox Footy's Midweek Tackle. 'So their path was different to his. Was he deluded? Was it blind faith? Somewhere in between? 'The other interesting sub plot was the death threat to Goodwin last weekend. Hoax or not, it absolutely took its toll on Goodwin and his family. It also gave the Demons another reminder of the toll placed upon him. 'They didn't want him to go out rock bottom as a premiership coach. They could see he was never going to back down or quit, he was always going to forge on ahead to that next premiership. They almost had to make the decision for him. 'They're two key issues about why Goodwin was removed from his tenure.' Goodwin, who had another year to run on his contract, departs with a 54 per cent win rate (111 wins, one draw and 90 losses) over 202 games since taking over the Dees in 2017. Ralph said Melbourne's decision to move into a new direction came down to not seeing him as its next 'premiership coach,' believing the list needs a 'significant revamp'. 'They know they could've kept him on for next year and this same situation might've occurred. At very best, he could've survived for two more years after that if they gave him a two-year extension,' he said. 'This is a football club that wants to set a new path, they didn't want to be run off a cliff. 'They think as good as those glories were including the flag, the short-term fix was to keep him. The decision they've made is to forge ahead for the next premiership coach for the next decade. 'We might think that's not enough to sack a premiership coach. But that was the big picture thinking the Melbourne Football Club came to.' The Herald Sun reports Goodwin is owed more than $1.2 million in a payout from Melbourne for the remainder of this season and 2026 that will be a 'costly' blow to the club's soft cap and footy department spending. 'Of course it's going to impact then. They also have football department taxes on top of that, as much as 50 per cent,' Ralph added. 'Hawthorn split Alastair Clarkson's $900,000 payout over two years. But let's face it, clubs have been screaming 'we need a bigger soft cap'. 'All of a sudden (Melbourne might) get $750,000 extra next year. You'd imagine most of that would be taken up by (Goodwin). There will be decisions ahead on the likes of (head of development) Mark Williams and whether they can save some money if they move him on. 'But it's going to be costly and cost them in terms of (footy department) personnel next year.' It comes as the future of several Dees stars hangs in the balance ahead of a defining off-season for the club as it looks to potentially shake up the list. Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver pursued trades last year and could look to do so again. Meanwhile Jake Lever was reportedly disgruntled after being dropped last month, and out-of-contract defender Judd McVee is weighing up his options. 'Jake Lever is clearly upset about the way he was dropped as a senior leader and whether he had enough discourse with his coach in Simon Goodwin, that's something he has to work through,' Ralph said. 'Christian Petracca doesn't want to leave and the club is adamant it is not letting him go. They want to set him up for a superstar return to form, he's not quite there this year. They also want to help him off the field to set himself up for life, if he hasn't already. 'Judd McVee has to be kept, he doesn't want to leave Victoria. His partner is an AFLW player and also plays for Melbourne. There's Victorian clubs swirling, but they just need to keep him.' Ralph said the 'big one' to watch is Oliver, who nearly left for Geelong last year, suggesting the only way the four-time best and fairest could move is if he took a pay cut and Melbourne contributed towards his salary elsewhere. 'If he accepted a massive, massive pay cut — let's call it $400,000 — and Melbourne paid out — let's call it $300,000 — he's still on that $800,000-$900,000 a year. I just don't think there's any takers for him,' he said. 'But if I was a fresh coach coming into this situation, would I want Oliver always in my midfield? I think I'd probably want him to move on. But it's just so hard to factor a market where there's enough money off the books to pay him. 'I think if you're paying over $1 million for him, Petracca and Kysaiah Pickett, that's too much of a handcuff. Especially if they're not going to win a premiership in the next couple of years. 'I think it's a big decision ahead on Clayton. If I was them I'd move heaven and earth to move on Clayton.'
