Those Moronic NAB Advertisements

[Sainternist]

I feel angry every time I see one of those ads with the kids dressed up as AFL stars. Now they even have them superimposed into real match footage. It pisses me off because it's a constant reminder of how our club has fallen into AFL irrelevance. They've been showing those ads for a few years now and I have not seen one kid dressed up as a St.Kilda player. Not even one!! WTF?!?!

I think the fact that we haven't had a single AA since 2014 says a lot.

I'm trying to think which of our players a kid could play that I'd be able to recognise who he was meant to be!

Josh Bruce.

There were quite a few underwhelming performers honoured in the Retirements segment in the Brownlow but not Sam Gilbert ( although Koby Stevens was in). Maybe it’s another example of our irrelevance, or maybe the poor , afterthought way it was handled made him miss the cut.

Yeah since Rooey has retired, we hardly have a recognisable player. I reckon if there was a survey asking the average footy fans who our captain was, most wouldn't know.

McCartin - Just need the little fat kid from hey dad to put a helmet on

Might be due to the fact Sam is still trying to find another club??? Wasn't that the story?

FWIW I will miss Gilbo. If he was a more reliable kick, there would have been a much greater story around him, and the Saints over the last 10 years

The club has dropped the ball in so many ways over the last 5 years from the top down-on and off the field.. no wonder we are almost invisible to the public

surely Gresham would be perfect
Hes about the right size

I don't particularly like the use of children in advertising.

Apart from it being a bit exploitative, it feels like I'm being manipulated.

Those NAB adds, in particular, are a bit NQR.

Would have thought a mini-Stuv would be easy enough, with a mo and faux mullet.

Anyways, there's plenty of teams with no representation...I think we're getting a bit precious bemoaning not being in a commercial, in fact, I'm happy our brand isn't being associated with those blood sucking scumbags!

Precisely. We're just a complete basket of nothing. Zero.

This Administration & Board have systematically and successfully removed any semblance of brand identity and personality that our beloved club once had.

We stand for nothing and I despise how embarrassed I feel when Finnis, Summers, Geary and The Dribbler speak publicly. They only re-enforce what a boring, vanilla, beige, virtue-signaling bunch of apologists we've become.

I really like the NAB kids. think they are great.
