Great!

This is a great little promotion 

Max reads it really well. 
We now have old and new Traditions and we can be proud of them both. 
 

2021 is just the beginning

Is this just a membership promotion?

[Rab D Nesbitt 9,009]

When I saw it pop up in my emails I assumed it was a promotion for a generic bottle of gin or the like with a Melbourne sticker slapped on it.

Partly but a Club promotion above all

I was thinking Fire Water

Maybe my heart strings got tugged a bit too hard one night in September last yr but this didn’t really do much to inspire/excite me… 

[Demonstone 23,643]

I'm with The Jackson 6 on this.

These types of promos are usually a little cringey and this one is no exception.

[Chook 15,088]

I thought it was fine. We obviously couldn't get the rights to a 39 second loop of Bang Bang Bang, which is really all you needed to promote the dees in 2022.

[hemingway 7,633]

Obviously for home consumption. A membership promo. It’s well done and emotional for those with red and blue blood. However, I also find it a bit cringy. I would prefer to focus on what happens on the field. Let the way the side plays and results do the talking. That’s the way to gain respect and become a formidable club. 

[dee-tox 4,835]

Decent promo. But what I don't get is this statement: 'The Demons spirit was forged in fire...''

Perhaps someone in the club really loves the History Channel's programme Forged in Fire, where a bunch of rednecks make swords/knives?

Isn't moonshine forged with fire?

[Wrecker46 3,130]

Smells like Dee spirit.

I have to somewhat agree, however I think it’s a little less cringe because we won the GF last season. 

Nothing will ever be as cringe as Carlton’s “Can you smell what we’re cooking” campaign.   A big ole’ [censored] that’s apparently still bubbling away.

Rather be burned alive than endure 57 years of pain, so i'd say it's apt.

To be fair.. that 78degrees melbourne gin is absolutely delicious

Not as cringe but not far behind was their “They Know We’re Coming” campaign of about 12 years ago. Maybe they’re still coming, they’re just taking their sweet time. 😁

Fox Footy are advertising what looks like an MFC 2021 doco on 8th March.

Little trailer for it kicking around at the moment.

They must be using an early version sat nav which is taking them the long way.

Feels closer to a scene from Demon Attack * than some of the club’s more recent work.

 

*This is by no means an insult to Demon Attack. Like Dumb & Dumber it was genius,  but you just can’t recreate classics.

…not even. Melways (1982 edition) including the obligatory missing pages.

Removed an oxymoron meaning I’ll sleep tonight. 😅

Ugh.

Comes across very much like something dreamt up by a corporate type with no feeling for the club culture and it’s supporter base at all. Underwhelming to say the least.

[Yossarian 1,820]

Seems like a wasted opportunity to use 'We are Melbourne, through & through.'
