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!!

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
