One player tears her ACL, another gets a tooth knocked out and a third breaks a vertebra: Fearless is a fitting title for a documentary about AFLW.

The new Disney+ series follows players from Adelaide, Collingwood, Greater Western Sydney and the Western Bulldogs during the 2022 season just gone.

Pies co-captain Bri Davey told AAP she had already watched an excruciating scene in which she tore her ACL in a game against Carlton and fell to the ground screaming.

"I knew straight away I had done my knee, you do hear that sort of instant scream or cry. It was a little bit confronting watching," she said.

"But at the same time, I think it's really cool that things like that are captured, and that's what this documentary will do, it will really give people insight into what we do as athletes."

Many of the players featured had been told growing up that they could never play elite AFL, but managed to become pioneers of the women's league.

Davey and other players were wired up to mics in their sports bras, enabling the documentary makers to reveal the inside story of the league, which starts round one of season seven next week.

For the Pies, the series covers the season's injury woes - just after Davey was ruled out for months, co-captain Steph Chiocci hurt her achilles tendon.

Cameras were allowed inside the clubrooms to capture the moment Pies leaders realised that with both captains injured, telling the team to step up would no longer work.

But Chiocci believes the series will have an impact beyond highlighting the Magpies' dramas by showing young players, especially girls, they can play at an elite level.

Fearless also sees her open up about her own mental health struggles, with panic attacks so severe she would faint.

"I'm leading a football club, happy and confident looking ... you can be all those things but you can still have your battles and it's really important to seek help," she told AAP.

At Adelaide, who have won three premierships since the launch of the league in 2017, players are looking to the series to see how other clubs approach their season.

Midfielder Ebony Marinoff has seen snippets, but one part she has not been able to view yet is the coverage of her 2021 collision with GWS Irish import Brid Stack that left Stack with a fractured C7 vertebra.

There's also the part where she knocks out another player's tooth.

"My teammates would definitely rather be on my team not the other, but that's why I play the game because it is competitive, it's 360 degrees, you don't know what's going to happen," she said.

Crows captain Chelsea Randall, also no stranger to ACL injuries, told AAP the series would be a boost for the game and the athletes who played it.

"We're incredibly fortunate and humbled and honoured to be a part of such an incredible documentary that showcases so much more than just the game," she said.

Fearless streams on Disney+ from next week.
