Song: Shipping up to Boston by Dropkick Murphys
In a league of its own - 2009 official AFL TVC

[@joshmcnz8205]

Dude this ad is in a league of its own!

[@WhenOne8Becomes2Zeroes]

This song's name is Shipping up to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys for everyone wondering. Classic commercial.

[@jeremycooper5647]

One of the best ads I've seen

[@J1nx98]

I think most people are misinterpreting the ad. I think it is showing that for those who watch footy, AFL is a sport that stands out. Not that AFL is a world game and is the best sport in the world (which I think it is :P)

[@SR-wg1bb]

Jimmy well your wrong rugby is

[@richmondtigersedits6492]

its an opinionated concept assholes

[@EBGamez1]

Sam R shut up, your opinion doesn’t matter.

[@kaireecejohnson5635]

MANCHESTER UNITED that’s because it’s world wide whereas afl is only really played in australia

[@ajward9112]

Mate, the Aussie Rules is easily the best sport in the world. I say this as an Aussie born, Singaporean raised and European educated bloke. It is, without question, better than soccer, baseball, hockey, badminton and of course, that American Football crap.It's just a pity that it is not played more in other countries.

[@TomoBunyip]

I wish they would remake this promo. Best AFL ad ever. Music, editing and 'the general vibe'.

[@getonitman20]

1 vote here for best visual effects, best sound and all round kickass ad!! this ad is absolutely amazing.

[@triplejdude]

The greatest AFL ad ever

[@JuanPowerball]

Hi Buddha - This song is called I'm Shipping Up To Boston by the Dropkick Murphys an Irish American band. Great tune.

[@collingwood42]

This ad is awesome!!! I'd say i've watched it about 10 times in a row just then... Love the whole idea behind it and how it was composited together.... AWESOME!!!!

[@puglife8686]

2023. Afl should be embarrassed 14 years later they haven’t made an advertisement this good. This was way ahead of its time

[@eSFreSHneSS96]

It’s pretty simple since then they just don’t care anymore like they used too, could say that about a lot of things nowadays Take me back!!!!!!

[@KLplaya]

Love the Jonathan Brown one in the gridiron, looks awesome! Bring on Round 1! Were goin back to back! Cmon the Hawks!

[@kingadamw1]

Didn’t do to well that year

[@silas_dockers8773]

AFL is the best story ever and I’m a Aussie

[@melikaanderson92]

[@OldFossil]

@MANCHESTER UNITED what is djvcs? 😂

[@ccnmkdejhbfnjm7461]

@MANCHESTER UNITED soccer is gay

[@ThiloSar]

@MANCHESTER UNITED Poms will never understand Aussie Rules Footy

[@ArthurYuill]

MANCHESTER UNITED why have I seen your comments on like 3 different videos?

[@KristyMcClellan]

Wow, that's a complicated game. Does the league provide the trucks, bulls and horses? Or do the players themselves provide them? The rule book must be four feet thick.

[@richmondtigersedits6492]

soooooo funny

[@kristieatkins3910]

Alley Dude k

[@electricmaster23]

The umpires need to undertake a gruelling 12-year training programme.

[@MattOatenVR]

AFL the best sport in the world!

[@xXFlyspeckXx]

TSN2 carries games on Saturday night in Canada, and i must say I've been enjoying the games. There's so much more to the football family of sports than just NFL... I've been a lifelong Canadian Football League fan, and now AFL. Wonder what else there is.

[@mrchigz8]

The song is I'm shipping up to Boston - drop kick murphy"

[@Teebonemendez]

Great ad. Makes me proud to be a fan of this sport. Also, TUNE!!!!

[@DavinJones81]

why are people giving this comment thumbs down? It just shows he isnt letting his dislike of AFL determine whether he likes the ad or not, unlike a lot of others who think its crap just cos they dont like the sport. I say good on ya mate (even tho i think AFL is the greatest sport!)

[@RichmondFCest-]

Best AFL ad ever

[@kingdaniel69]

What a brilliant commercial. AFL markets itself so well, and avoids all the crap that the NRL seems to suffer with.

[@CptFoley25]

I think AFL is the only sport to have skill, speed, toughness AND entertainment all mixed into one. Most others only have part of this.

[@EditNinja]

I love this ad! Thanks for uploading!

[@gdluva69]

the song is called I'm shipping up to boston by the dropkick murphys

[@ThatGuyJimmeh]

by far one of the best ads ever for the afl and also GO ABLETT!!!!!!!!!

[@liamthompson8238]

my dad helped in the making of this ad :)

[@manofsteel05]

Footy is played outside Australia, not professionally, but there are leagues in the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Japan and North America.

[@Mikuji]

Great ad, love the Jonathon Brown gridiron hit! Go Dees!

[@josh79er]

[@aflsbrng]

afl is an obscure suburban sport played in the southern parts of australia. it is unknown to basically the whole world.

[@steve.477]

AFL is the best sport. The game is freakin entertaining and the game is faster. Also the 23 people that dislikes are freakin crazy!!!

[@justjuice1992]

the song is shipping up to boston - dropkick murphys

[@klaaskleiterp]

Football, or soccer, is the worlds most popular sport. And last time i checked, the countries you mention, are included in that world! But even though, AFL is also fun to watch.

[@fishboy1989]

[@Dinhgo]

[@jusuf21]

[@bigsiva]

I'm Shipping Up to Boston. Also used by Forrest Griffin as entrance music.

[@DarkerThanBlackCat]

AFL isn't my favourite sport (top 3 though), but I gotta admit that this is a pretty awesome ad.

[@yangkin]

veryvery nice. love this

[@mawallbank]

Australian Rules Football is the only game in the world that requires concentration on all 360 degrees of the plane. Soccer, Rugby, Gridiron etc, all have set plays to move forwrd and backward. In Aussie Rules, you can play offensively backward and defensively forward. How cool is that! And sideways too! If you tackle successfully, YOU get the ball. The players have no guards other than mouth guards. Far from sissy. High contact, high impact, high scoring. The best game on the planet!

[@thecrowrains]

What team is that kit/jersey representing at 0:05 ? Specifically the kit with the stripe of burgundy/red - white - gold. I assume it's a team from Australia.

[@shrueboy62]

DropKick Murphys- Im Shipping Up To Boston

[@ypdaras]

Even though I'm a Rugby League fan and I hate AFL this is THE best ad I've ever seen. Notice how they don't pay out NRL, at least they know they're not the best. ;)

[@shelookstome8727]

Yeah, quite possibly. I never thought of that!

[@StartswithCendsinT]

Such a good ad...

[@getonitman20]

hell yeh im mega pumped... COMMON THE MAGIES!!!

[@mreeh69]

couldn't agree more

[@jairicho95]

Best ad and great song choice! Loving it all. I heard it cost around $40 million to make. Don't know if it's true though. But it would've cost heaps anyway!

[@willcl]

@magnum93954 I think it's called I'm Shipping Out To Boston by the Dropkick Murpheys

[@INateHibbas]

2019 anyone

[@TheBitchAKAtheMan]

spoken like a God

[@PonyMoloney]

wow great AD for the new season wooohoo

[@gkavner]

AFL will take off in other countries as much as Gridiron will in Australia. In fact, Gridiron is much more popular here than AFL is in other countries.

[@emzy911]

Gotta love the dont argue to the bull. Great ad...almost as good as the "i'd like to see that" adds.

[@rippa86]

awsome add. love it :)

[@simpsons4567]

[@VictorYong36]

Great commercial. Go Pies!

[@goddardstreet]
