Mascot Manor refers to a fictional house in which the Australian Football League (AFL) club mascot live. Prior to 2003, each AFL clubs had mascots in the past but to appeal to Auskick players, a common theme was decided upon for club mascots. Most clubs have an historical link with their mascots. The story begins with Toby "Torpedo" Coleman, a young, Northern Territory boy who dreams of playing AFL, stumbling across "Mascot Manor" where the 17 mascots live.[1]
In 2009 Tru Blu Entertainment launched a website advertising a Nintendo DS game, entitled AFL Mascot Manor (video game), developed by Wicked Witch Software based on the Mascot Manor concept.[2]
