Auskick the aim!

Rd 15 v Richmond

I wasn’t able to catch the whole game on Saturday and apparently that wasn’t such a bad a thing. Going off what people have told me, the parts I missed were just about as bad, if not worse, than the one’s I caught.

So what to make of it?

Well, considering the actual game was a battle of who could lose first, maybe we should turn our attention to things that managed to be more painful viewing for the time being. We'll get to the calamity later.

The advertisements. Now these are worse. They have to be.

Carlton Draught, what a shame. You have for many years been one of the most entertaining advertisers whether it be via TV or billboard. Did your creatives all take long service leave simultaneously? I recognise your environmental credentials in recycling your 'slow motion in the bar' ads, originally used in 2010. Great to encourage recycling, not great, however, to bash out a bastardised Puccini ad nauseum. I used to look Nessum Dorma up on youtube, now it’s gone all A Clockwork Orange ninth symphony on me. (If you're not getting that reference it's a quick wiki away).

Not destroying classical music, but most probably my sanity, is Jaimee Rogers. She doesn’t honestly speak like that does she? If she does then her employment by TABsportsbet is somewhat ironic given the gamble they’ve taken making her the face of their campaign. Can you imagine meeting her at a party? The conversation I mean. If she’s taught me one thing though, it’s that there are literally dozens of hairstyles a woman can adopt daily. Her heads constantly changing, mesmerising.
If you watch older versions you'll also notice how much she's altered her voice to the tune of 'annoying'.

But back to the footy. Our coach, Mark Neeld, the face of the club, conceded “There were some basic fundamentals, like your Auskick stuff [that couldn’t be achieved].” Now that hurts doesn’t it? Our team has been labelled young and developing, but that young? Auskick young? 
If it had been some outspoken pot-stirrer making the comment I would have been able to brush it aside and move on with my life, but when it’s the coach talking it’s as kind on the ears as a Darren Lockyer interview (cross code there).

Maybe the explanation to this poor season is something to do with Satan? He brings hell to earth. Did he finally noticed we’ve been using one of his trademarks, the ‘demon’, and is pissed that we never payed royalties? We should’ve just dropped him a line one hundred and fifty odd years ago just to say, “Hey mate, how’s things down there?...yeah, yeah the weathers not so bad here either…look just to let you know we’re gonna be using this team name and we’d love to have you on board to help us out.”

Rookie error admin team 1858.

But hey, as with this blog every week there’s always a positive and if we look to AFL policy there’s at least some serious Grassroots support coming out of the Demon camp. We’re apparently putting Auskick on the big stage week in week out. Let’s just hope our Auskickers get on what they feed caged chickens and develop fast!

Go Dees.
