HAVE YOU SWORN YOUR BLOOD OATH?
TAC & AFL Victoria Launch New Campaign
The Blood Oath campaign is a joint project between
the TAC and AFL Victoria to prevent young people,
particularly males aged 18-25, from being killed or
seriously injured in road trauma. Fronting the campaign is two
of the AFL’s best known brothers, Brad & Chris Scott, who
can both be seen in the ad campaign now airing on TV.
The TAC recognises the importance of young people,
particularly young footballers, being road safety ambassadors
in their community and this campaign promotes that. When we
pick up the papers of a weekend, we want to be reading about
the positive stories to come out of football, not of horrifi c road
accidents and the damning stats that last year alone we lost
the equivalent of 10 country footy teams’ worth of men due to
road trauma (220 male deaths in 2010).
Since the Facebook site has been set up, over 12,000 people
have shown their support for the site by ‘liking’ it, but we need
you to take the next step of pledging your ‘Blood Oath’ – which
over 3,000 people have already done. By taking the Oath, you
are showing your commitment to your teammates, your club
and the wider community to ensure that you understand that
when on the road, “your mate’s life is in your hands”.
Stats for 2011 show we have already lost about three AFL
footy teams worth of men on the roads, so now is the chance
for football followers to put at a stop to this trauma and
encourage young people to drive responsibly by taking the
“Blood Oath”.
Apart from publicly declaring to do your bit to curb the road
toll for young drivers, individuals and clubs also have the
chance to win great prizes, but only by pledging your Oath
(those that simply ‘like’ the facebook site will not be part of
the prize draw for their club).

Werribee Centrals have been the early leaders in the
competition. Each week during July the biggest ladder movers
will be published & prize winners announced. During July the
TAC will also be on the road at local matches as well, so keep
an eye out for them at your local game.
So now is the time to take your “Blood Oath” for your
local team!
• Visit www.facebook.com/mybloodoath
• Select your local team
• Select an oath to drive safely on the roads
• Post your oath to your own Facebook page
The aim is for your club to have the most oaths of all
entries. Prizes for clubs with the most oaths, in country
and metropolitan Melbourne will be awarded each week.
Individual prizes are also up for grabs.
At the end of July, one club in country Victoria and one club
in the metropolitan area will each be rewarded with a $30,000
prize. Winning clubs will be those who receive the most
pledges. Pledge your ‘Blood Oath’ now at www.facebook.
