Season Launch Video is here

[summerthebat]

Pretty much sums up Australia's taste in music when 90% of people on here say they hate the background music.

Thought it was a little harsh on the Crows, every team has a player contributing or doing something involving skill. Bock just misses a tackle.

The commercial is totally ****ing stupid, but I love it none the less.

 

[Warsaw]

I liked it and thought Shipping out To Boston was a good choice of song. Could of been a lot lot worse.

 

[JeffDunne]

er, i think it is meant to point out that australian football has many of the virtues of other sports, and them some.

Yes the cultural cringe is alive and well but that's not what I was talking about.

i reckon it rocks and reflects where footy is at.

Not the word I'd have used to describe it.

It's reasonably well made but I reckon it's an enormous waste of money

I don't believe it's cultural cringe; just the truth. you didn't use that word "rocks" to describe it, i did. you reckon it's an enormous waste of money. i don't

 

[Hollow Knight]

Its really a great campaign.

Obviously these sort of images will be used for the billboard campaign.

 

[TassieSaint]

Also, soft effort, Bock!

First thing I thought. Everyone else gets to do something useful but Bock just gets to miss a tackle haha!

I'd give the ad 7/10

 

[EFL Boy]

I love it

 

[XFactor1979]

"s is for shiksa

s h i... hmm, im sure theres a t in there somewhere...

look it up"

 

[ndot]

i loved it. best AFL ad so far by a MILE

brown charging through NFL players? cooney getting chased by a bull? ablett dodging 4WDs? cmon, that shit was crazy

and Judd getting killed by horses.

 

[Power King]

I thought it was cool.

 

[Hollow Knight]

I thought it was cool.

Yeah, but not as cool as rubbishing every single thing that comes out of AFL House.

 

[Il Naso De Gastev]

Love the scene with Gazza at the 4WD's... wish the ensuing scene showed Pavlich being run down though.

 

[XFactor1979]

i like the slogan 'a league of its own'

its agreeable given that nsw and qld dont play the friggin sport, you can have your own league down there, and we can have our own league over here

anyway this slogan is far better than the patronising: 'the game that built australia'

 

[Exe Gesis]

 

[OniAu]

awesome stuff.

i like how they have the crowd fairly loud in the soccer scene(one of the loudest sporting crowds) then it erupts once it goes to the G. dunno if it was just because i had headphones on or not.

should have had a athletics scene in there somehow showing the speed off of the players rather than the horses.

loved it though , listen to it with headphone and the music seems pretty fitting.

should have had shawy and dids hanging out the 4wd goin next to pav

 

[cantos_tevez]

I absolutely loved it, really tried to show that our blokes are some of the most well-rounded sportsmen you'll find in the world.

However, don't hit me too hard on this one: I think Leon Davis has some of the best skills in the game along with an unbelievable ability to turn an entire game on his own, but to show him getting the hard ball almost makes me wanna sue them for false advertising.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The AFL should be sued for false advertising. Everytime I watch a game, it's more and more like Netball.

don't like it? don't watch it then

 

[Exe Gesis]

Im entitled to my negative opinion.
Dont like it, dont read it.

 

[DarwinRoo]

I thought it was ordinary. The music was shithouse.

 

[shoe]

Love the ad.
Best part is Browny in the NFL game, that bit is exceptionally well done. Quality.

 

[shoe]

I liked it. I watched Buddy last Friday and he seemed to want to give out the don't-argues a bit too much... maybe he's been watching the ad too?

What, he saw himself playing on the ad to get the idea?

 

[Bomber32]

Certainly one of the best ads the AFL have done.

Great effort.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Like it. Its a cool idea and they did a decent job of it. The gallery is good too, they went to a lot of efforts with the sets.

The quick sequences and fast, lively music showed it was trying to be a fast paced ad, but the players just seemed to move a touch slow.

Its open for a heap of one-liners though which is cool for AFL fans, there have been some pissers in this thread.
