The Collingwood Ad

I just saw some of the twaddle that is the new Collingwood Ad

In it they've unashamedly pinched our "march to the G" and that slow chant is the one all of us who were at the 87 finals series will know quite well as ours re badged

The thieving Magpie logo suits them well.

    What a disgraceful attempt, really poor quality. I thought that the money they have would produce something semi decent.

    We are not even a blip on the radar of the Collingwood Football Club.

    Why would they care what we have done in the past..things that only a MFC supporter would even remember or recognize (yes I was there in 1987).

    Until the point in time our club stamps it's authority we have no business in attempting to have an opinion on the marketing tactics of a club like Collingwood right now to be brutally honest.

    I agree, but it's still a crappy ad, when you consider what they could have done.

    Dont get me wrong I don't care much for the ad itself.. I was more responding to the original post about "stealing" our ideas..

    Yeah, i know, but i am just amazed and "underwhelmed" by the Ad, considering that President Eddie is such a TV "Giant"....oh well who cares, didn't makr me buy one of the filth memberships!!

    That said Collingwood already have 52,000 members (Gulp) B)

    Yeah , was weak , I expected more from it after the lead in (biggest ad Blah , blah , blah ) pfft.

    I also remember the drawn out MELBOURNE being a staple chant when comfortably leading games during the 80's .

    That was along time ago now tho' , thought they copied Sydney personally , who cares .

    We just gotta silence it .

    Yep, pretty poor advert. Considering they claim to have had 3500 fans there, i was expecting much, much more. Never looked like more than a couple hundred at any one stage, and by the time it got to the long shot heading into the G, the shot looked CGI.. which i'm pretty sure is due to the fact they made it artificially dark.

    We should be responding with footage of the Walk to the G for our commercial! I'm sure a fixed camera placed on that last bridge, on fast forward, watching ten thousand people marching will be much more impressive.

    After all the hype I was expecting more...very average.

    Still they are very lucky to be in a position where they can produce such an add to promote their club.

  • Quote

    They don't need to advertise for members. They've already got 52,000 of them, with 17,000 from last year yet to re-sign.

    Seems to me the whole thing was just a 'look at us' ploy.

  • Quote

    Has all the hallmarks of an end of season embarrassment if they don't get the sweet run with injuries they had in 2010.

    You'd never know 2010 was a couple of lucky bounces away from a St Kilda premiership.

    I hate Collingwood like the rest of you, but the ad is pretty good. If it was a Melbourne ad, I'd love it.

    Ya don't hate 'em enough to dispise everything they do tho'.

    At least they didn't come up with a rubbish jingle like that Saints Footy debacle.

    Typical small club mentality to whinge about what others are doing. They don't care about us, I don't know why we should bother caring about them.

    oh, was that it?

    it could have been so much better.

    reminds me of an 'epic' film done dirt cheap.

    the elements were all there for a classic but it didn't quite make it.

    It's basically just a giant bunch of feral collingwood supporters!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
