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!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
