Like it.

 

Hard to judge how good it really is, as I would have still been embarrassed by the same ad over the past decade. I guess it comes down to the level of respect your team demands from others.

 

But again, I like it.

    It is so Melbourne!

    Every major icon of this city features: Trams, Fed Sq, Flinders St Station, Alleys, City skyline, MCG. 

    All strongly, fronted by a Red and Blue jumper!!

    We want to identify with Melbourne the City.  This ad does it!

    Thumbs up from me!

    They need a longer beat between 'two colours beat' and 'red and blue' as it sounds a little like 'two colours beat red and blue'. Oh, and it doesn't make much sense either way.

    Thoughts?

    I like PJ's continual alignment with the City of Melbourne. The ad is contemporary and should appeal to younger supporters with whom our future lies. I love the larger than life screen shots on iconic Melbourne buildings. The heart beats in the final seconds gives it substance and carries on the theme from 2015. I would have preferred a better defined MCG - recognition of our relationship and our spiritual home but overall my score 9.5.

    The City of Melbourne and The MFC continue to join

    The ad is a little quick and disjointed but it is on the right track...We need to own the city

    It can be done...

    Looks good.  Also appears to be deliberately trying to target potential female members by including the women's team.

    Males are allowed to like and follow the women's team too.

    Not saying they aren't or don't. Just noticed it as a point of difference from other teams' marketing.

    I like it! A bit of attitude, identification with Melbourne the city,  and a bit arty

    Like so much of what we're doing at the moment (as compared to the past) it isn't rubbish or cringeworthy but contemporary. I'm really proud of our club at the moment on so many fronts, and I think this ad is broadly appealing as well.

    I went to white night this year and missed all those projected images. Go figure?

    Have I missed something? I saw a 2 second grab of Daisey Pearce?

    I think it is terrific. Loved the subtle use of Daisy 9ie just another player and in the same shot as Jones). 

    The only negative - and it is a pretty big one - is that it uses a Derwayne sample.

    Love it ??

    We finally stand for something, AFL supporter have forgotten that this is our city. We my not have the biggest supporter base but we represent this great city.

    We are Melbourne!!

    Excitement is definitely growing.

    Like it. Have liked every element of the rebranding of the club, including the inclusions of the women's team.

    Bad-ass P-man? It's like a police advert for RBT's.

    Thanks. Now that's all I'm going to see when I watch it.

    It's pretty gritty. Like a police ad. Makes it seem like we're lurking in the night and ready to pounce. It's professional looking at least and it ties us to the city but interestingly doesn't show the MCG

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
