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: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
