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.

    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!

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.
