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

Yeah I have to admit that escaped me but you're right. For me it's one of those things that's been a "must have" in any previous MFC add. Could've had one of the projections onto the MCC stand or something.

I liked the ad, nothing too crazy and gets to the point: we're the club of the city.

    I always envisaged a commercial where Nathan Jones carjacks a family in a Range Rover headed to Falls Creek (returning them to the G') and Brayshaw lays a flying tackle on a young snow boarder about to commence a Buller black run.

    Thanks for adding a sensible dose of absurdity RTG. I was just about to post a question about the purpose of these adds versus the cost.

    What does the club expect to gain from them? I'm presuming most/all of the above posters are members - do we expect to gain new members? These adds would cost a squillion - does the money come entirely from the club? Is there a proven or measurable  benefit?

    I looked at the ad BBO and it's professional yadda yadda yadda but I also thought it was a bit of a snore fest. Just one persons opinion.

    I like the idea of our players dressed as street thugs going on a violent rampage through Fed Square.

    Then they team up with other gangs and form a supergang like the riffs.

    Then they have to make it to Jolimont without being killed.

    Can you dig it???

    To that, Moonshadow, I say why not? I've just taken another look at the ad. I guess it's ok but I'm with BBO in terms of not being sure who it is designed to attract beyond Biffen's suggestion of Apex debutees. The voice over sounds like the bloke from Simon Reynold's Grim Reaper aides ad from a long time ago.

    i think daniel has the cost benefit report, bbo, but you'll need to lodge a foi request to see it but it will all be redacted and out of date by the time you get it

    DC my thought is the ad is very good but it cost a few $. But when and where does the ad get a run during the season with the average punter? In past years I have seen a number of clubs produce video promotions but where do they run after that? What is the point of this?

    what is the point you may well ask, earl. a very good question

    unfortunately i can't answer until i know the point of life itself, or even the point of football or a premiership or what i'm doing here on demonland talking to a light-box on a holy day.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
