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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
