"Don't Believe in Never" - 2018 AFL ad campaign

"Don't believe in Never"*





*unless you support the Dockers

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

All three so far bloody good. I hope they turn it into more. Could do one with Daniel Menzel which would be awesome

Max Bailey would make a little more sense, as he played in a Flag after all his recos. Menzel doesn't have the fairytale ending yet.

Probably the challenge is one is still a player while the other isnt

 

[TiggyTig]

Dont believe in never... as you may get the Cats at the MCG despite finsihing 3rd and then the non Vic minor premier in the GF at the MCG...

Oh damn have they started playing the GF at the MCG??? How unfair!

 

[Quinz]

That Damien Hardwick one is sensational.

Who couldn't get excited about the season starting after watching that?

Clay Smith would be great if it’s along those lines.

 

[Ichabod Noodle]

I enjoyed watching the first two clips, but I exited the AFLW propaganda after one second because women's footy doesn't interest me.

That’s a pity because the ad is only partially about women’s footy and is much more about diversity, community, inclusiveness and bringing new people to the game. The dad’s story is just as important in that ad as the daughter’s.

But hey, I understand why you wouldn’t want to watch it.

The bitterness of a couple of west coast supporters on our success last year is quite sensational.

Where did the Eagles win their last flags at again?

 

[TheSunGod]

Everyone in this country knows what afl is and when it is played. Why the hell do they need an ad campaign every year

You obviously have never been to Queensland. Seriously.

Yeah Geelong's never played a home final at the MCG against an MCG tenant and previously interstate teams had always been able to host the grand final. It was really unfair what happened last year. I don't blame you for still being upset.

 

[Topkent]

Happy for Hardwick he told everyone we would bounce back on the couch and every footy expert laughed at him and stuck the boot in especially Matthew Lloyd and Kane Cornes

Including tigers fans. This is the biggest revisionist s**t ever when you can find so so many posts from tigers fans in 2016 calling for him to be sacked

I did want him sacked but he owned up to his flaws and impressed the board we then got the right ppl around him in caracella/balme

Right so what's the point of bringing up journalists who shared the same opinions as fans?

It’s the way they sank the boot in Kane Cornes for example would constantly go on about how recruiting prestia and caddy would set us back 10 years

Where was the uproar when the AFL scheduled Geelong to play Sydney at the G in the second semi final a week later?

Oh that's right there wasn't one because this happened at Kardinia Park in R20

wait why is it a problem Geelong playing a home game in Geelong?
we then had to play the swans at the mcg in the semi finals.
What point were you making here?

just responding to someone moaning about Geelong playing a home final at the G *yawn*

Kane Cornes was still bagging us out in GF week. Most commentators had sensed a change by then.

 

[Moggy]

There was a lot of hype around him [Aliir Aliir] in 2016 from a very small sample of exiting games that showed his inexperience alongside his athletic potential.

No worries.
We’ll find a spot for him down at the Cattery

Seriously, though, it’s good to see the AFL highlighting a Sudanese success story. Lord knows, the kids get enough bad press.

I reckon he’ll be back in the first team sooner rather than later with the combination of physique and poise that he showed.

(Do we need to have the “home ground advantage “ shitfight in this thread?)

Three excellent videos. The AFL have made a great call in getting this director in.

 

[AxelFoley]

Anyone know the song playing in the Dema / Muslim video?

Is the MCG Sydney's home ground?

 

[fleabitten]

Is the MCG Sydney's home ground?

How about the corresponding match in 2016 where 2nd placed Geelong hosted 3rd placed Hawthorn at the MCG?

If Aliir can get some continuity in his football and avoid the niggling injuries that have held him back he will be a genuinely good player at the top level...I just hope it is in red and white!
