There so called "150 years" ad just came on.
Our ad is so much better, i have been very critical of NRL marketing in the past but they really nailed it. Pretty much it reflects that rugby league although it has changed in many ways its still the same blokes getting out there playing a great simple game. Some big hits and good trys thrown in with good measure aswell. No big gimmick just our game, which is great.
Now we see the AFL ad, i mean great job AFL marketting guys. They claim that inventions were purely just invented for the fact that it was benefical towards watching or getting to the AFL. Like "first they invented the light bulb to play night games." If light was the only thing that was keeping me from seeing AFL at night live or on my tv id smash every light bulb in NSW. Then they mention Qantas or some sh*t in 1920 so they could play games interstate....What the hell? Interstate?? How many people would have gone to an AFL in NSW or QLD in 1920? 10 people and that is just the players boyfriends??
The ad would have been better had that old guy died at the end and the subtitles had read "AFL is as old as this guy and just as dead!". Like they always say how they dont care what NRL or Union is doing yet when we have our 100 years they get that paranoid over it, well screw them....next year lets have a 101 year celebrations, lets celebrate every year that we dont have to watch grown men teabag each other to get a ball.
150 my ass, no one really gives a sh*t how long you have played your crappy game, 150 of androtops in tight shorts and squashed balls. The only thing that has come out our this stunt is the Victoria vs All Star game which i will be completely honest i am worried that the AFL ball lickers will enjoy and could become some what of a hit with them, never will match origin though.
Thoughts?
