I think it's worth embracing the rivalry, I want to beat every team in the competition, may as well start with them.
I thought the advert was fine, created a sense of wonder... Made me want to watch Harry Potter afterwards as the flock reminded me of Dementors. I go to every game anyway so the marketing does not need to target me!
But doesn't ask you to do anything about it.
If it's goal is just to do that then fine.
No you said you had diagnosed me myopia, either trying to be funny or a way of putting someone down, if you don't realise how cyber bullying works, you may want to investigate, it is what Boaky was talking about, you could call it cyber bullying or on these forums it's a case of keyboard warrior. But you make the choice!
For those questioning the reason behind having a tv ad without an explicitly stated purpose or the need for an ad when we've already maxed out our ticketed memberships, I would suggest doing some research into the concept of 'brand awareness'. You'll probably find the answers you're looking for.
Hahahahaha
You are a very peculiar person. You aggressively push the "grass roots" line wrt AO renegotiation. Very aggressively, on multiple boards. Then berate the club for the Dodee pick. But when your short sighted view about the advert is called out you retreat to the 'cyber bully' refuge.
Your opinion about the need for a powerful statement about our club in the media is the same Trigg mentality that held us back as a club. We need a strong presence on TV. Otherwise people question "where are the Crows" after seeing the Hinkley pep talk ads. Then the "we don't need an ad", resting on our laurels attitude pisses Crows fans off. A lack of presence on TV smacks of arrogance (not in a good way) or weakness for not standing up for our patch.
I don't call names of people or make fun of people, if you can't accept what you do it's your problem, your clearly used your comment as a put down if you can't see that then you don't understand the world of social media, can you not see that?
As for my beliefs on Doedee and how the state government uses it's asset to fund sport in this state, they are purely my opinions on such subjects and have a right to that opinion
I don't think it ever hurts to reinforce or build on what you already have, particularly with the season fast approaching.
Probably is after what happened last year.

I reckon this TVC is only half of it, I reckon there is something to do with this ad that they have planned for game day.
Would be cool if they had one of those long white runway tube tent things for the players to enter the field and projected the murder of crows flying at a high speed along it, from stadium to the field, as the projected birds get to the end of the tunnel the players run out.

I'm not tech savvy at all, but would it be possible at night games to project a murder of crows sweeping across the oval?

Grass makes a horrible projection medium, I don't think i've ever seen it done. It would need an incredibly powerful projector that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, if such a thing exists.
Cheers, the thing is I couldn't give a stuff about pre-match entertainment. I go to the footy to hopefully watch my team win, not be entertained by other means.
My preference would be a reserves game, imagine how good that would be watching our youngsters play as well.
Nice thought but I think the whole idea of a reserves game before the match is very old fashioned.
People struggle to put aside the time for a match. Introducing another match to watch would only attract those already going to the game in the first place.

They are very skilled in spinning anything our club does into negativity. Their ability to create a laughing point or yet another hashtag orgy from any scrap of news is ironically commendable.
As an old dinosaur who can remember the pre crows era, reserves playing before the league game is fantastic. Even if you only see the last quarter or half, you get to see the form of the players pushing for selection live. Of all of the funding the afl hands out, I would like them to have the corresponding reserves game prior to the seniors game.
They can still fit in pre game entertainment in the break between the 2 games if that is important for the club.
As for the commercial I think it is very well done.

You don't see Coke cutting their advertising budget.
It's not about Brand awareness, it's about controlling the image of the brand and what it represents. If we don't do it, someone or something else will determine what our brand means.

A bit lame, but it's ok.
I like the idea, they should continue to embrace the crow.

And?
Do you think pre-match entertainment attracts people to the games?
Personally I think those who get to the games early would appreciate something to watch and it would get others to the games earlier.
I also think the players would enjoy playing to larger crowds even if it's only for a half. And if it's a close game the crowd would get right behind it.
The stadiums would also love it as they sell more gear.
