Essendon mock Carlton

Essendon have mocked Carlton’s latest membership campaign slogan: “They Know We’re Coming”.

The shy and retiring Blues stirred up the rivalry with their latest slogan and the Bombers have responded in kind.
Essendon today posted a slogan on the club website (essendonfc.com.au): “They Know We’re Waiting”.

Club insiders said the Bombers were counting down the days to their Round 3 clash with the Blues saying, despite a heavy injury count and very young team, Essendon beat Carlton twice in 2008.

The 2009 clash is expected to be Victorian tribal warfare at its best and has the hall-marks of a classic encounter between two young, improving Victorian teams desperate to return to finals action. A crowd of around 80,000 people is expected.

In general, the 2009 season is shaping as a big one for Victorian football with the likely resurgence of Essendon, Carlton and Richmond and the expected success of Collingwood, Hawthorn and Geelong.

Essendon has two massive Victorian rivalry clashes with Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond and Hawthorn next year.
A recent poll, run on essendonfc.com.au, showed that Carlton is the team Essendon fans most enjoy beating.

Kudos to the Bombers marketing department. Nothing wrong with playing up the strong Blues/Dons rivalry. Bring on Rd 3 and 90,000 at the 'G i say.

I'm sure we all agree though that both clubs campaigns are light years ahead of the rubbish the Colliwobbles marketing department have dished up for 2009.

[gandaal]

Looks like the Dons are playing follow the leader.

Both the Essendon one, and the Carlton one would look awesome next to each other in the week leading up to the match.

**** me I just spewed up a bit in my mouth. I'd be SOOOO embarrassed as a Collingwood supporter! :eek:

[essendon2008]

[R1KSTA]

Good work.

Love the whole blue/red effect going on there. :)

[drybones]

This is what our game is all about.. loving one club and loving hating another.
Best campaign I've seen!! They do look awesome next to each other.
Looking forward to seeing both clubs back up somewhere in the 8.. just in time for Collingwood to make the fall out..

[MatthewJN]

Haha, Go Bombers!

[StealthBomber]

Just saw the Collingwood ad. Their supporters wont be too happy with that!! LMAO!! Too funny.

It's like a slap in the face for them. As chopper would say to their campaign, "Harden the f$%k up!!"

[stay true]

Haha this is cool. I can't wait for round 3!

and dear god, that collingwood advert is absolutely appauling. wow...

[Bombers_Forever]

Good to see two clubs with decent marketing - great work on both counts.

[loopy_cam]

Now we're mocking Collingwood aswell with this weeks poll.

What should be Collingwood's 2009 membership song?

The Great Pretender (by The Platters)
What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted (by Jimmy Ruffin)
The Tracks Of My Tears (by Smokey Robinson)
Dumb Things (by Paul Kelly)
After All These Years (by Silverchair)
Trouble With Me ( Robbie Williams)

I was thinking the Silverchair option, but then I saw the Great Pretender, and the contest was over.

"Together we're beautiful."

"Individually ..."

You haven't seen the 1.1m snapper?:D

And I'd have thought that my first post was far more offensive than my second. But it did spawn Spikey's fantastic gif, so maybe that's why it's still there.
