Can you smell what the Blues are cooking?

[damochandler]

well after last years slogan. they had to go see the specialists at ami.

pretty ordinary markting campaign again hey. who is their full forward this year

 

[Dylan Burger]

Lol.

seconded.

 

[witsend]

The books....

 

[HereComesTheTruth]

Sorry Melbourne supporters but i think you may be out of your depth on this one. We're trying to recruit members - Note the 's', as in plural

Yeah well done Carlton, pretending to act all tough. But everyone knows you're just faking it as the rest of the wrestlers do..

At least all players depicted in our membership campaign are signed up and guaranteed to be playing with the club next year.

But seriously its just trying to get people to talk about it so there's a bit of publicity and its worked. People don't like it because its so different and don't like change, but someone has to be innovative & lead the field. Personally I'm not much of a fan of the slogan, but when its put with the picture i give it

 

[Leather Poisoning]

It depends what Carlton are trying to achieve here

1. Credibility/respect? Fail
2. Publicity? Win
3. Increased appeal with kids? Probable win

It's interesting that in this age of clubs trying to become more and more professional that Carlton have started to paint themselves differently.

Last year's slogan was a very Carlton slogan. I thought it was great - pity they couldn't back it up on the footy field. It really presented the club as arrogant, cocky and on the rise. Had they burst into the top four and/or made a prelim it would have really created some rivalry.

This one though - absolute shocker. Aligning yourself with pro wrestling is just lowest common denominator stuff. If anyone out there is a pro wrestling fan and not a moron please raise your hand.

 

[Happy_Neale]

Should have gone with DX's "Suck It"

Haha. Win!

 

[Gavin Excel]

I like this a lot.

I didn't even like football until today, when I saw that poster. I'm gonna sign up. The Rock is awesome, and if anyone ever tries to imitate him, I always buy whatever it is. I also like it when people cook planes.

 

[greennick]

Looks like they added some muscle to Gibbs in the drawing.

I lol'd... hard.

 

[Axel.]

Cooking with another wooden spoon?

 

[Afrojack]

maybe try and get a win over us first hey

 

[Burzum]

Looks like they added some muscle to Gibbs in the drawing.

I think "4 girls 1 cup" would be a more appropriate slogan.

 

[TheOutsider]

I think its good marketing because everyone talks about it. I wouldn't know what any of the other clubs sloggens are.

Essendons response this year was Gold maybe next year they could respond with " Essendon just kicked your candy Asses"

 

[Yellow Feathers]

I didnt think this was serious at first.... but man, that slogan is terrible. Grow up Carlton, slogans dont win premierships. And linking AFL footy to a no substance, mainstream joke that is the WWE really demonstrates that the Carlton officials are completely out of touch with the footy public.

Maybe the leading possession getter at the end of every game should awarded the championship belt? And he can defend this on a weekly basis?

Maybe you can bribe the refs for a predetermined result?

Maybe Judd could "Rock Bottom" all the refs and do whatever he god damn wants!

 

[Hawks1523]

This would have been relevant 12 years ago.

still hurts doesn't it?

 

[inyourcool]

saints slogan for 2010. beware of lyon

 

[bluesfan95]

Hopefully it's pizza.

 

[kane249]

This would have been relevant 12 years ago.

So roughly the last time Carlton were considered relevant as well

Do they get a lot of work experience kids in the marketing department down there?

 

[Xtreme]

Epic Fail on Carlton's part, will be absolutely hilarious to see them at the arse end of the ladder in 2010 . No Fev, No Judd (temporarily) no Blues

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

We're still coming...

 

[kane249]

They should have gone with Ted Dibiase Snr's catch phrase
"Every man has his price"

 

[melbournemartin]

The cartoons are horrible. Chris Judd's head is huge.

 

[blues4flag]

I lol'd... hard.

As did I.
