That's one of the best promotional pieces the AFL has done in years. I liked the humour behind the 'History of the Game' ads but this will appeal to everyone regardless of their knowledge of the game.

Good Work

That's pretty good for the AFL. I like the Ablett bit with the 4wd. Very clever.

LOL Kosi using a rope to lift him up and down for the speckie so he doesn't injure himself again ;).

My wife (who's not a big football fan) said she really liked it. Said it was really enteratining and showcased all the skills of the game.
I was a little surprised by her response so in that respect it works I guess. For me though whilst I thought it was well made it lacked soul and didn't get me fired up at all. Thought comparing it to other sports watered our down if anything. :-\

lol at the Jon Brown bit though, how many weeks suspension would he have copped for an elbow or charge? :rollin

Actually for an AFL ad it is very good  ;D

I would hav epreferred to see more Ice Hockey though

lol at the Jon Brown bit though, how many weeks suspension would he have copped for an elbow or charge? :rollin

Yeah I luaghed at that bit as well... Obviously little Adrian A had no say in the ads contents (thank gawd) or it would have been edited out  ;D

They must have remembered the basketball comments from Wallace and Sheeds last year having us (Lids) in the basketball.
