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 !! :rolleyes: 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 :lol:

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 ... :lol::lol: 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.

    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...

    :lol:

    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. :P

    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

    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

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
