"Can you smell what the Blues are cooking"

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Maybe the WWE are now sponsoring Carlton instead of Malaysia and part of the conditions of sponsorship is the use of their crappy, out dated line as part of our slogan (Lets face it, it's The Rocks catch phrase, and he hasn't been around for years .......................)

He hasn't been around because he is too big for the WWE. He made a guest appearance recently where he trotted it out and will be guest hosting Raw some time in the next few weeks.

The Rock still has a bit of currency, but unless he is the one uttering the words, it will lose almost everything in the translation.

Our marketing department has hit Rock Bottom?

I still love it.

I'm not sure if I could mark out anymore, but just get The Rock to do a voiceover for the membership drive, Carlton.

 

[Silvagnis]

Oh dear, cue a plethora of jokes about smells emanating from Carlton.

The only way this could possibly break even for us is if the Rock himself is involved in the campaign and utters the words. That would be cool enough for me to endure the rest of the season amongst the insufferable opposition.

I can just picture every sub-editor's and Bay 13 attempts to include "wit" in their headlines and threads for Carlton defeats.

Blues cook up stinker without Fevola

Carlton's goose cooked with carrots by Power

The last one is another reason why we shouldn't recruit Maguire and use this terrible slogan.

If it's true.

 

[TGR]

That is absolute crap. If that is the best our 'marketing gurus' can dish up then sack the lot of them.

 

[Korn]

do we need to come up with a slogan every year?

That would be simply awesome.

Get on the phone to your contacts at the footy club and make it happen, ODN! It's not like you've got anything else to worry about at the moment.

Let's face it - last year's campaign was always going to be hard to follow. We could have done what the other 15 clubs do and have a dull and tame slogan or go out on a limb and be a tad lame.

Though I maintain it'll be awesome to hear 50k Blues fans stand up in unison and shout: "CAN YA SMELLLLL...WHAT THE BLUES...ARE...COOKING!" (not that it's likely to ever happen though you're bound to get someone or other shout it now and again).

 

[Bentick's My Man.]

Surely the phrase has its rights reserved or whatever, surely Carlton hasn't paid the WWE to use it?
And if they had they should follow it up with paying for The Rock to voiceover our ad's..

 

[gbatman]

We ripped it off the Rock, so what, Essendon ripped ours off a few times last year and they did well, we were never going to top last years one...

 

[blues4flag]

Nah I'm usually quiet and reserved at the footy. Though I do go with my cousin who's generally the loudest guy in the bay (if you've sat anywhere near him you'll know who he is. Big guy with beard. Tends to amuse the children and bewilder the parents ).

 

[Madblue]

Trading Fev and now this.....we are becoming a laughing stock !

We're laughing after they gave up Henderson and pick 12 for 27 and Fevola.

I did like your subliminal and unintentional use of the word stock in your post to stay on topic.

 

[Chism]

Dont like it either.

Terrible marketing slogan to use.

I can imagine all the Bay 13 threads allready...

 

[Juddrockz]

Piss poor effort from whoever is responsible
We wont be smelling anything"sweet" if they cant fix that new forward structure, that's for sure.

Fisher source tells me we're cooking Thy

Hate the idea, though I can see Brock being featured on the poster! He was probably the inspiration.

Seriously, the WWE isn't very big over here is it? Most people will have no idea about it.

The sold out arenas every time they come down here, beg to differ

Rod Laver which holds what, 16,000? I'm just saying I don't know many people that like their wrestling as well as their footy. Either way, ripping off a WWF term is incredibly cheesy if you ask me.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Probably said by "The Brock" :d

 

[Bluedude]

That slogan stinks !

16,000 is more than what they sometimes get a usual TV Show in America
