Powerful New Docuseries Celebrates the Rise of AFLW

AFLW began in 2017 with just eight teams. Now, the sport is about to enter their seventh season with all 18 clubs, for the very first time. But, it wasn’t an easy road to get here.

Fearless: The Inside Story of the AFLW is a new Disney+ docuseries which gives an inside look into the rise of the sport – and the challenges it took to get to this point.

GWS Giants players Alyce Parker and Brid Stack joined Hope Drive to chat about the upcoming season, their rivalry with the Sydney Swans and how the club coped with losing fellow player Jacinda Barclay to suicide.

Listen to Alyce and Brid’s full interview in the player above.

Fearless: The Inside Story of the AFLW is streaming now on Disney+. The series contains some course language and mentions of suicide and mental illness. Parental discretion is recommended for younger viewers.
