Totally outraged! Why on earth would we have agreed to an ad with Heeney taking a screamer over Petracca? Maybe a bit tongue in cheek but don't like it. Demeans our champion. Hoping there is a reverse sequel I may have missed.

Who cares

    If ever Colgate-Palmolive (or any other corporate for that matter) wants a broad-spectrum focus group to test their ads, they know where to come now!

    Maybe it should have been a Collingwood player being leaned upon, so as to reach a target demographic of fans that historically haven't used Colgate (or any toothpaste, for that matter)...!

    I can't believe Petracca's agent agreed to the format used in the Colgate ad. Heeney gets to take the screamer over Tracc and also gets the last, long shot lying on the ground flashing his pearly whites. Did they draw straws or flip a coin? I'm astonished they didn't shoot two versions, one for NSW and one for Victoria ( the other states probably aren't that fussed, I'm guessing). Maybe Tracc got paid more to take the fall. If he did he made a big miscalculation. Every time I see it, I die a little inside. Go Dees! 🔵🔴🔵

    At halftime at our Swans match some friends and I were talking to a little Dees boy who happened to have a speech impediment. He was animatedly telling us something about the Swans that he didn’t like. Just when we were about to concede that we couldn’t understand what he was saying, I recognised two words.. “toothpaste ad.” 😂

    Remarkably, I think this is a 'merge thread' case.

    @Go Lordie You'll be pleased to know that this ad has irked a wave of people already and you are not alone.

    BUT...

    Speaking of Dees in ads, I saw Tayla Harris recently at Gosch’s and in my best Tay voice I said, “Nice jumper… and I love your braids!” She cringed hard and said, “Oh my god, it’s about time Fox retired that [censored] ad.” She said she hates how it pops up every time she’s watching the footy. Yes, she got a brand new phone out of the deal but says that she wouldn’t have done it had she known she’d have to see the ad ‘til the day she dies 😂

    PS: she didn’t get the jumper but she wouldn’t have worn it anyways. Smart choice.

    • Demonland changed the title to Petracca in Colgate Ad

    Yo Boys can squabble or feign indifference over who takes the speccie.

    But this TV ad from 1969 was much more memorable.

    I have a feeling it was agreed to because two versions of the Ad were probably filmed and for whatever reason only one has ever aired. That's just a guess though.

    I reckon you're 100% spot on Andy!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
