Blues adopt "controversial" slogan

Its quiet...not a lot "Melbourne" happening and then this gem appears.

Well if nothing else Carlton certainly have no short reserve of ego !! That in itself is fine but you somewhat need to back such things up or they become not just commentable but comical !!

Last year we had "They know were coming" and by golly that put the scares up everone !! Apart from any sleazy connotations it really forgot to tell anyone "to do what " ?? It all ended up a bit like the 5:15 from Flinders St ; it came...it went... nothing terribly much else to note

Now we have..oooohhh wait for it... "Can You Smell What The Blues Are Cooking" . accompanied by imagery of Judd, Gibbs, Murphy and Kreuzer standing around a Premiership Cup that is being used as a cooking pot with a Magpie and a Bomber inside.

Sinister things are afoot my friends ... They all do however look rather off-colour and sickly, boogadee boogadee !!

That they've copied ( essentially ) a catch-cry of the Rock only serves to show how imaginative this lot are.

So in answer to Visy land...can we smell it ?? sure can.....smells like a Crock of Sh!t !!!!

hahaha thats terrible who do they think they are "the rock"?

Oh dear god.

Last year's slogan, while a pathetic representation of what they achieved in a sense, was a very clever marketing ploy.

They've obviously tried to better that and failed miserably. The only thing they seem to be cooking is epic fail branding!

(Couldn't happen to a more revolting organisation! :D)

They're becoming more and more of a laughing stock. And if they don't win a flag by the time Judd retires, that will just make for more comedy gold.

That's the funniest thing I've seen since Darren Cutherbertson's gem.

Far out. Given their record against those 2 this year was 1-3, it's not a great start.

stock....> pot ..... GOLD !!

To paraphrase Shakespeare.

"Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.

Fillet of a Waite,

In the caldron boil and bake;

Eye of Judd, and toe of Chook,

Mullet of Sticks, and tongue of Swann,

Setanta’s baulk, and the outer wing,

Fev’s now gone, so who’ll have a ping,—

For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble."

Can you smell what the Blues are cooking...

Yeah, it's a bit on the nose...

They need a few more fresh ingredients over a couple of years if they want to plate something up.

Our side might be ready by then.

I wonder if The Rock copywrited that saying, and if so, how much Carlton paid for it. I hope they didn't pay for it and get unstuck and made to look like fools

Maybe move to Werribie!

Revolting organization..Death is too good for them. Carlton how i loath you.

But that slogan is a joke, and not even catchy.

the poster and slogan that ALMOST got away !!

Hmm - lost thier only final in 10 years

- lost thier only goalkicker

- picked up McLean

Yeah, I smell it, but don't expext me to swallow it!!!

the poster and slogan that ALMOST got away !!

Absolute Gold !!!!

Ha ha, that poster is brilliant!

I had a good laugh at this slogan, maybe I was one of the only ones to think last years slogan (although arrogant and cocky) wasn't that bad. I would be very interested to be in some of the marketing meetings when this idea got thrown up...

As already stated just a blatant rip off of The Rock

Just watch one of those Commonwealth Bank ads.

Left field call. But good call.

Quite insensitive.

Well he was hardly the sensitive type himself...

When I see Carlton thats what I smell, a dead turd trying to buy a premiership

Yes i am still waiting for my Refund from all the cardboard & milk Cartons i used....

Where's the question mark? Idiots.

Not as bad as the new Adelaide and Brisbane logos - but close.

also HAHA is juddy trying to do the rock's eye brow thing in the pic.

"Can You Smell What The Blues Are Cooking"

Clearly the answer is Crack.

Very eager to see what Essendon will do with this one.

"They know we're coming"....to destination Nowhere

"Can you smell what the Blues are cooking?"...Manure

We're Carlton, the great dumping ground of the AFL & we're a thick-skinned group...gotta be with the slogans the brains trust have come up with in the last 2 seasons
