Rams 49ers Netflix, NFL, the rest of the story
Noah Eagle, Elle Duncan, Michael Irvin and Luke Kuechly. Netflix announced that lineup for the Melbourne game.
SiriusXM is involved too, but I haven’t found evidence yet that its announcers are physically in Melbourne rather than calling/reporting from elsewhere.
The same goes for Netflix employees: we know Netflix has its people there, but the public reporting doesn’t give us a clean headcount of Netflix production employees versus NFL production employees.
The really interesting piece is that the NFL says up to 200 NFL staff were in Melbourne, including media-production people, with crews working at the MCG for weeks.
So I think your instinct is right: there’s a whole television operation sitting behind what we’re watching that we haven’t identified yet.
Camera operators, TDs, A1/A2s, engineers, utility, EVS, replay, mobile unit, local Australian crew—and exactly who traveled from America.
Yes — that’s exactly where I’d look next. Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn —
people working the show may be posting photos from Melbourne even though the official NFL/Netflix stories don’t name them.
I found evidence that up to 200 NFL staff are in Melbourne, including dozens in media production, and that crews have been working at the MCG for weeks.
What I haven’t found yet is the gold: a camera operator, A1, TD, engineer, EVS, truck company, or Australian crew member actually saying “
“I’m here working the Netflix/NFL game.”
That’s worth hunting down. Those personal posts could answer exactly what you’re asking—who traveled, who was hired locally, and what truck/unit they’re using.
