History is Coming

What a stupid phrase.
An oxymoron at best!
Any thoughts on what else the AFL could have offered for publicity?

THE SAINTS ARE COMING!!


I want to stand for something. I'm a loyal person and I think at the end of my career it will be great to look back and know that I'm a St Kilda person for life.

The AFL should have just based all their promotional money behind St. Kilda and saved us all the headache.

History is Coming -- pffft

....hmmm......perhaps they mean Demetriou will be History!!!

Fair Dinkum, this is from the AFL who can't market themselves to anyone effectively....don't kid yourself, the clubs are the ones that do it properly here in Melbourne!

No pre-match entertainment for either Prelims....not even a live singer to do the anthem...how hard is that?

Sheesh, I'd even take an ex-Idol singer doing it badly - at least it would give us something to whinge about non-footy wise if we lost!!!!

I think they should have stuck to something more honest...umm...like

"More Expensive Than Last Year"


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Pay that.


"Our season is still alive," Lyon said. "It's not the end for Robert."

Harvey's mates stood listening to those words, perhaps planning to keep the AFL's longest career lingering a while yet. Then turned into softcocks and blew it YET again.

Jeez, the AFL can't do anything right can they...

I love the 'History is coming' promos, I just wish they had chose every team's captain rather than having Dale Thomas plastered over the city.

I also love the 'game that made Australia' ads, not as good as the 'I'd like to see that' ads but great none the less...

I'm with you Armoooo, when you really think about it ... History is actually coming, one team this year will go down in history for beating another team. I think the posters look quite good as well.

I loved those 'i'd like to see that' ads too :lol:
