This is Footy Country (AFL Extended Cut)

When the Emus get stranded before the big game, it is up to the club president Mick to make sure the town doesn't have to forfeit... This isn't country footy. This is footy country.

[@hollyhollance7014]

100% would watch a full-length film about these people and their town if it existed.

[@ZLLi661]

Absolutely!! ✌️👍🏼

[@justinanthony0890]

It does. Waubra, Victoria. 33 km north west of Ballarat.

[@maryfrancis3]

The town does exist and even a few in the ad are locals

[@benunstead966]

Last stop Larimah

[@pattybover3357]

Brilliant!

[@andysentertainmentcorner1421]

extended 2 min cut is way better than the one on tv now, pure aussie gold

[@indyspud]

Came for the country footy, stayed for the Darude Sandstorm.

[@thelastwalkingsoul]

Cannot believe they used darude sandstorm lmao

[@daniwaters1790]

Does anyone know if this remix is available on Spotify? Who did this awesome cover??! I love it!

[@denisemoloney1751]

In my 67 years this is the best Add ever made , I’ve watched it so many times and chuckled every time .. the characters are so real .. 👍🏼

[@johoney7197]

Best ad I've ever seen.

[@RoseDamon]

Terrific ad. Well done to all the cast, craftspeople and creative team.

[@azzow89]

has a hunt for the wilderpeople vibe

[@Acemanveryspecial]

Probably one of the better ads I've seen in recent years. That being said, I only watch the TV when Footy and Cricket is on.

[@80flycat]

The best of commercial you guys ever done! Not one of! The best so far!

[@user-dn4xi7qr2z]

Great to see shots taken inside Gunning Pub in this my old watering hole!!!

[@chrisgray917]

Such a great ad, hahahaa!! Song is "sandstorm" whiskey shivers

[@mirandanotamanda69]

that was my busdriver!!!

[@bernadettemaile7666]

I can't be the only one who wishes this was a movie? I absolutely love this ad! ❤

[@idontdovarioustasks]

The best ad i've seen in a long time.

[@seemor321]

Just watched the ad well done to Telstra and to all locals from Goulburn that was magic

[@Themanfacegaming]

100% the best advertisement on tv right now

[@TheLem02]

What is this glorious version of sandstorm?

[@TheLem02]

Found it - Whisky Shivers version

[@jaykay8779]

Brilliant !! I couldn't remember the name, Thank you !!

[@trex9822]

sandstorm makes this ad 😂

[@GriffDawg94]

If she was from the visiting town she would have taken the exact route, why couldn’t she pick up the players?

[@user-vo6nf6ei8w]

Exactly what I thought. Congratulations I thought I was the only person asking that

[@simileydaisy]

watch this and can say fantastic ad and definitely worth it to rewatch it over and over again 😄

[@robertcoleman4861]

Best ever ad since the nimble ad "THERE'S NO ENGINE IN HERE".🤣😅😂

[@WhateverWhenever888]

God I love you Telstra, your ads are so damn good! Everyone on it is so real and relatable. Nothing better than seeing real people on tv instead of the fake crap you see nowadays. Everytime this ad comes on it makes me smile 🧡💙 hope it never stops coming on tv. Can’t get enough.

[@rowanyourbills4292]

Awesome ad Telstra, Your marketing team has been really good lately, this is fire and your last ad with the security detail was also lit

[@katy2163]

Absolutely brilliant! Such a quintessentially Australian story!

[@JoeHupp]

Great work to all involved, including Alan Ng from Glenorie Coaches who supplied the Hino bus in the ad

[@MicheleMuir]

I love, love, love this ad!❤

[@user-wl9vz1qo2j]

Lived in waubra for over 24 years - the spot on the map is about 30km nth west of Ball and although it wasn't shot there some places are the spitting image of waubra land marks

[@user-wl9vz1qo2j]

Saw the roll of honour at the football ground........ I reckon that your right that most would owe some heritage to the Irish roots of waubra

[@maryfrancis3]

Wonderful ad. Thank you!

[@Smashingit2022]

Best advertisement I’ve seen in all my 45 years! 😂

[@jovanmitrovski8406]

one of the best ads I've ever seen!

[@anakie432]

great work

[@bendigobookmark7594]

Reminds me of the great Australian movie Valentines Day about Rushworth Footy club

[@jennystrong8722]

Best ad ever.

[@anne-mariebloomfield3382]

Best ad ever !!!

[@dancergirl7601]

Brilliant ad!! Love the direction you’re taking with advertising! Don’t change a thing with these ads! Keep growing & keep heading this way! You’re now talked about - that’s a huge change…. Cudos to all involved.

[@nicolestone6030]

IS THAT BRONSON?! 🙌

[@daleford1558]

I said this too!!! 100 percent its him

[@craigaugustesen4325]

That's what i was thinking also

[@MANSL200]

Yes Mathew Waters season 3

[@BLTM0801]

Gotta be!

[@simonhadfield3466]

Beautifully art directed. Nice one.

[@fabman132]

Call me crazy, but I'm like 99% sure the guy on the ohone at the beginning is Bronson from Around the Twist.

[@waverleyc.412]

Very creative ad and rejigging 🎵 Sandstorm 🎵 by Darude

[@oxyox12]

CLASSIC ❤

[@samuellastname5018]

It makes no sense, if she has a working bus, why doesn't she just pick up the players from the side of the road by the broken down bus, surely that would have been quicker than driving around town picking up ringers ... also, presumably the actual team was on their way to the field, so wouldn't she have to drive right by them to get the ringers there anyway ? Other than these major problems, it is a mildly amusing add ... But only just barely

[@leighhallinan5120]

This sort of comment is what happens when a surgeon performs a sense of humour bypass on you

[@samuellastname5018]

Ha ha - in that case I smell a big fat juicy malpractice suit, because I have absolutely no recollection of ever having signed informed consent for such a surgery

[@leighhallinan5120]

nevertheless, the available evidence would seem to suggest that one has been performed. Unless it's a temporary impairment because this ad rocks!@@samuellastname5018

[@fully5733]

First thing I said when I watched it, makes absolutely no sense 😆

[@norzboss]

You must be fun at parties!

[@SuperMegaWoofer3000]

Kicked a goal on this one Telstra!

[@realeststeps5271]

Whether it be rugby league in the North Eastern states or Aussie Rules in the South West, Australia is footy country!

[@Scarletpimpanel73]

"pothole, you're in charge" and the look on his face like a psychopath in a shower shop ...

[@jerrylehky3472]

Love the look on the Umpy's face 🙁 Just priceless!!!🏉 🍒 BloodRed.🍒

[@cindyposa4950]

Love So FUNNY So Australian, Forfeit MY ARSE!😂

[@tearuruoterangi7861]

Saved it incase when i need a pick up 😂😂

[@haydoswaretech2004]

Filmed in Goulburn nsw that’s great

[@evanclarke5561]

Ironically, I think the town in the movie "100 Bloody Acres" was meant to be Yandoit, a ghost town on the outskirts of Daylesford (north of Ballarat). But it was truly filmed around Lobethal, an outer suburb of Adelaide. You can tell due to the fairy park. There is no fairy park in Yandoit in real life

[@chloehughes292]

The end…😂😂😂😂

[@pierwszeimiedrugieimie363]

Sandstorm dance tune

[@andrewcarfax-foster5046]

1:19 The Wing joke hits harder in the NRL version. So does the nsw/qld undertone.

[@JimmyGrant74]

Who produced this?

[@damianliberatore1626]

I want to love this ad, but I don’t get it. Why couldn’t she just take the spare bus and pick up the team clearly they were on their way to the match.

[@bourbonwarfaredjs1]

Great Ad, what is the song a cover of?

[@evanclarke5561]

Sandstorm

[@shemmac4700]

What’s the music?

[@ashleygiggity]

Is that the church from Taralga?

[@brendanhartzer5712]

0:23 I’ve seen the ad during the AFL Grand Final and it was edited to forfeit? Nah!

[@Jacsterford]

genius.. forfeit my ass.. love it.

[@jerrylehky3472]

Have difficulty pronouncing Arse,do we... When in Footy Country,etc.🍺 🍒 BloodRed.🍒

[@user-it4we3yl2l]

Where is that football ground

[@Danica.v-888]

Track iD? 🤣💀

[@JW-wl5lm]

Why didn't she just pick them up in the bus? She would have had to literally drive past them

[@skyhir33]

Is that BRONSON someone let us know????? Up the pongggggg!!!!!

[@kyubi_101]

Whats the song's name?

[@mtgoat1016]

Sandstorm by whisky shivers.

[@YellowJello57]

Jussie Smollett writing Telstra's taglines now?

[@evanclarke5561]

Waubra are actually the kangaroos though, not the emus

[@norm1895]

Why wouldn’t she pick up the team that broke down?

[@visinshavingvisions]

what is the joke at 1:12 meant to be even

[@jules692]

Why is the woman's name Mick?

[@EMBINBUN]

100% Aussie!

[@KayNolte-yh5xg]

To all the cynics asking why not just pick up the good team on the way…the answer is simple..Mick the (problematic) driver decided to take a “short cut” but ended up in the middle of nowhere with a flat tyre and no spare or a broken axle…and no idea wgere they are. Telstra - how about a sequel???

[@foreverman1966]

I don’t follow AFL but that was amazing puts the NRL to shame

[@realeststeps5271]

It's literally an ad for both codes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYPTlqinl818eLM

[@idontdovarioustasks]

They have an ad too it's just as good

[@lukastravelvlogs]

0:24 Forfit my ass lol

[@jerrylehky3472]

That's "arse"matey", we're in Aus',not Texas... Just sayin'... 🤠 Ripper ad'👌 🍒 BloodRed.🍒

[@ufo006]

The toothless smile changed his attitude very quickly..

[@MandyPalmer-ne6ls]

I want to recharge my mobile , I've no funds in bank account 😢 I'm waiting on receiving my deliveries from online shopping 😊 so with out credit I'm in the dark about what and when things are happening 😢 so sad !

[@78macka]

1:48 the only reason I hate this ad, get rid of this revolting shot

[@GregorMcBoob]

They have another bus, why can't they pick up the original team? Presume they are on their way there from town anyway??

[@idontdovarioustasks]

Because it's a story of the battlers

[@Mhjeffrey027running]

If those players wanted to forfeit, why bother picking them up?

[@BasedinReality1984]

Anyone else sick of seeing this ?

[@leighhallinan5120]

no just you

[@tytycadet]

Meh

[@tana108]

☹️

[@johnfisher2468]

I’m totally offended by this add campaign. It’s making country / regional footballers look like bogan fools. Hows depicting this stereo type supposed to sell any product!

[@BasedinReality1984]

whilst trying to jam in as much diversity as possible.

[@LittleMan2300]

If you're being serious, jeez you're a sook. I'm a country Aussie and I thought it was hilarious. If you're playing the offended type, you had me fooled.

[@jerrylehky3472]

Sookie, sook - probably dislikes the DoodleSak,too... Carn the Emu's 🏉🏉🏉. 🍒 BloodRed.🍒
