At today's 2008 season launch at Distinctive Homes Dome, the SANFL premiered the new television commercial for the season.

Starting with Neil Kerley talking about what makes the league great, it features appearances by Sturt's Brant Chambers, Centrals' James and Chris Gowans and Glenelg's Brett Backwell all talking about what they love about the SANFL. With the theme of "Come and Get It", the ad is quite striking and looks a sound follow-on from last year's Kerley campaign.

The club coaches won the competition between the club mascots, the media and club captains for the "Commando" obstacle course, while each club was also represented by a local primary school in their region.

like it by the way

Is that the same Neil Kerley footage from a previous ad?

Regardless, a good ad. We've come such a long way since the Tim Shaw ads.

Very good. A great positive for the SANFL.

Wish Kerls had a higher SANFL profile throughout the year, not just for a one off ad...but anyway, it's a great advert - well done.

Would be nice if Barrie Robran would do one - would be majorly relevant given his continual involvement.
I'm guessing his modesty would prevent that though.

Just saw the new ad, looks great, 1000% improvement on those dodgy ads from a few years ago with that Tim Whatshisname the TV salesman guy.

Good commercial, I like it, well done to all involved!

still hope they run last years tribal ad, was a good one also...

Top advertisement, especially like the last statment by one of the Gowans (stuffed if I know which one it is) "Come and get it"

Bring back the Demtel man

Definatly makes the SANFL look more serious then previous ads have

I like the fact that (Kerls & Jars excepted) it doesn't trade on past glories like other ads have, but promotes this generation of 'champions'.

Since they kicked off the season at the Distinctive Homes Dome I wonder if the NBL will be kicking off their season at the MCG?

Hey nothing would suprise, it is the NBL!!!!

Apparently the mascots were all at the launch yesterday, apart from one club which wasn't represented though, which was very inappropriate.

Surely SP would have loved to have come out and represent the Duuble Blues yesterday?

I'd like it if they did something like what the NRL did. Mixing the old with the new.
