If we were as arrogant as Carlton...



Recommended Posts

I don't suspect that we'll make finals next year. Although I do expect the boys to really push for it and try to sneak into the top 8. The ability and talent is there, and based off this years performance where we could have or should have won 8 or so games (Richmond, North Melbourne, West Coast, Sydney and maybe even Bulldogs), we should be in a better position next season.

My question is, if we were as arrogant as Carlton (They Know We're Coming), what would our 2010 or 2011 slogan be???

"Winning again in 2010". Or a cheeky one "trying again in 2010".

Finals heaven in 2011.

My 2010 slogan would be "Move On Up", using the Curtis Mayfield song of the same name as the back drop for all advertising campaigns.

It was sampled in Kanye Wests "Touch The Sky", so all the kiddies should be familiar with the hook.

Joan Armatrading "To the Limit" as the alternate theme with the memorable line -

to the limit here we go, from the bottom to the top

We don't need a slogan. It's not as if we're recruiting for the Air Force or the Army.

Wins on the board over the next three years with an exciting list will be all the 'slogan' we need and get those half-hearted supporters back on board and attending games.

Stupid marketing can create false expectations for all the wrong reasons.

With Carlton's Coming being a case of premature celebration is more likely they'll be singing "thats why they call it the blues" at seasons end.

I think "they know we're coming" was one of the most successful membership slogans ever. How much media did it end up getting them? And most important of all they came in for their first finals appearance since 2001. Blues supporters would have loved every minute of it and I'm sure it inspired a bunch to jump on during the season that otherwise wouldn't have.

"don't worry, there's no more decent picks up for grabs" would be my way of inspiring Dee's supporters next year.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
