Has anyone seen the new AFL promo mentioned below as yet? I enjoyed the "I'd like to see that" promo from years ago, nothing has really grabbed me since.

THE AFL's promotional ad this season includes an American football theme and is filmed in a soccer stadium.

Brisbane Lions strongman Jonathan Brown will run through a team of linebackers in full regalia, with refs wearing black and white stripes ready to call the shots.

Bob Jane Stadium was taken over for the shoot yesterday by a convoy of trucks carrying props and film gear.

Brown looked on as his stuntman stand-in bowled over a field of burly gridiron tacklers.

In the morning, Hawthorn star Lance Franklin, St Kilda big man Justin Koschitzke, and North Melbourne's Daniel Wells also filmed segments.

"It's a closed shoot," declared AFL brand manager Jane Ballantyne.

She suggested yesterday's filming was only one part of the ad and that the league preferred to release it in its entirety to the media.

At a guess I reckon it would be something like "we are tougher than grid iron more skillfull then soccer" or something along those lines
