A BEHIND-the-scenes documentary following player agents and clubs through the trade and draft period will feature on Stan next year.

Film crews have been tracking players and their managers in recent weeks and will continue over the next two months for a series that will be aired next year, with club list management and recruiting teams also involved.

It is understood agents from Connors Sports Management, Players Ink, Corporate Sports Australia and Hemisphere Management will be involved with current AFL players and prospective draftees.

The series will chart the ups and downs of list management through the eyes of the managers and their clubs, including trade deals, negotiating new contracts and making decisions on rival interest.

Draftees will also feature as they navigate their way to the top level, including the lead-up to November’s NAB AFL Draft.
