I'm actually querying the "club wants to win things" angle, it's like a complete misread of the marketing considering Virgins name and logo is everywhere on thing to try and lay it at any single clubs feet. I'm honestly curious at how people came to that conclusion when this is a clear marketing angle from Virgin Australia in the Virgin Australia Film Festival to enlist a sporting code also currently in the spot light with regards to finals who like to maintain a national image above and beyond the other 4 competing sports (basketball, cricket, soccer & rugby).

Clever marketing from Virgin. Nothing like tapping into the passion of AFL supporters and enlisting their support of clubs in a competition. Great promotion for the company, as its done well and consumer (us) don't feel used by the exercise. Handy bonus of air fares to the winner. Extra bonus is the insights, fun, passion at different clubs.

FWIW I thought it was a gay video, in fact I thought Roo's dancing and lip synching was cringeworthy. I was waiting for Molly to swoop in in a pink tutu and plant one on the big boys lips.
The best part of the video was Kosi spitting water on the two so called coaches, I gave it a 2 out of 10. I would have had some Metallica rolling with half a dozen air guitars and big Ben would have been thumping out some serious vocals instead of the pre teen voice over they gave him. I also hope it's not the only thing Lewis Pierce will be famous for...having said that it was all in good fun....for a club that lost 17 games this year.
Lol, what's wrong with something being gay or effeminate?

An update from the Virgin Australia facebook page: (I don't know how to embed so i'll just copy paste)

We’re at the halftime point for the Virgin Australia Film Festival and here’s the leader board:

1. St Kilda Football Club > http://virg.co/StKilda
2. Melbourne Football Club > http://virg.co/Melbourne
3. Fremantle Football Club > http://virg.co/Fremantle
4. Hawthorn Football Club > http://virg.co/Hawthorn
5. Essendon Football Club > http://virg.co/Essendon
6. Sydney Swans > http://virg.co/SydSwans
7. Gold Coast Suns > http://virg.co/GCSUNS
8. Brisbane Lions > http://virg.co/Lions

Remember the 3 films with the highest engagement will each win flights to the US for their club so make sure you have supported your favourite film by viewing, liking, commenting or sharing before the competition ends on 28 September.



Also, if people were wondering, likes and comments count as one point and shares count as 5.

If it is the top 3 then we pretty much have this in the bag. Freo has 50k less views on youtube than ours so it would be pretty hard for us to drop out of the top 3.

To all those that whinged about this, Dal said on TFS that they put a lot of effort into it because we aren't in the greatest financial situation and this would obviously help. Is that good enough?
I'm not really sure why anyone would complain. Free airfares for a club not made of money for a four minute video... **** me as long as we remain tasteful I'm happy.

'nah **** the flights pull ur ****en heads in why dont u go out and win a ****en premiership first. **** me.'

Hmmmm Hawthorn put a video in too. Haven't seen theirs though.

Disgraceful effort from the club. Should hand back the flights and say sorry to the members for bringing the game into disrepute.

The next time I see our captain smiling and having fun I'll be microwaving my membership AND my iPhone 5c (I hear it helps improve reception)
