kind of shit but it's nice to take a step back compared to the last couple.

no passengers on the bandwagon? no passengers on the team bus? the headlights are on but nobody's driving?

No passengers (on the booze cruise) .

Honest question, do any of you guys get a little sick of all the hype over these marketing slogans and just wish that your players would back it up? At every other club, the slogans don't seem to be that big a deal but at the Blues they are almost the highlight of the year.

 

[Daics35Marvel]

Sorry mate, didn't realize that I would hit such a raw nerve. In retrospect, my question was probably poorly worded. I just imagine that after a few years of all this marketing hype some people would be getting a bit tired of it. Especially when all it seems to do is build up expectations beyond what the players have been able to deliver.

 

[Tazwegian]

Is this the first attempted troll on our board by a Gold Coast supporter? Gee they're cheeky.

Haha. You'll get yours back when us Coasters haven't won a game after round 16.

 

[Tazwegian]

Sort of like what Gary Ablett will be doing next season on the Gold Coast?

Fair call I'd swap Ablett for Judd though any day. Don't get me wrong, Ablett is awesome, but Judd is something else. Easily the best player in the AFL.

Hope we are not searching through the boot for the jump leads around round 15......

I don't see how they are a massive highlight to be honest. We are a high traffic board so it gets discussed more than some boards, but that is just BigFooty. We have a lot of footballing enemies and they tend to discuss it, but that is more about them than us.

I am sure that a lot of clubs have messages of hope in their membership drives. It isn't simply a matter of saying 'please join' to get members. Although for the life of me I can't remember most teams membership slogans, aside from the god awful 'We're beautiful' from the Pies.

I reckon the hype might be more in the eyes of opposition supporters buying into it for a free kick, than anything particularly solid on our part. We're just trying to sell memberships.

One point though, it is not up to the players to back up a membership slogan. It is up to the marketing department to not put extra pressure on the players by making calls that are likely to backfire.

'They Know We're Coming' was okay. Out of the finals for years and we made it. Some think we have to be challenging for a flag to have a slogan like that, but I just think we have to be getting ourselves off the bottom and winning some games, breaking some streaks etc, and we did that.

'Can you smell what the Blues are cooking' was stupid. Would have only worked if you cashed in on some star power and got Dwayne Johnson on board for a commercial. Considering we lost Fev prior to that coming out, we were always up against having a better tilt than last year. The idea is that we are honing our list and working on some stability for a tilt in the next couple of years, but ladder improvement was necessary to make it work.

'No passengers' is interesting. Along the lines of Ratten's challenge to the team after the Pies loss a month before the finals. We seem to be lingering on that where as most team's automatically expect 100% application, we seem to have to remind our players constantly, which is not a good sign. It is probably also a shot at those wanting to leave. I'd hate to think our membership drive is a parting shot at a fringe player like Grigg for instance.

Anyway, if they do back up 'no passengers' we will have a good year. 100% application and supporting your teammate, combined with the talent of a few gun players and we will win more than we will lose and make top 4. No guarantee we will get that 100% commitment however.

 

[HARKER]

We've certainly taken the back seat approach with this one.

Hang on....................................................... There are no passengers.

 

[Jabba73]

I can't understand the Tigers paying a marketing department. The last two seasons running they have had to change their slogan and signage after round one.

Now that it will be three years in a row of huge expectations followed by a massive round one let-down, the Tigers should just keep their marketing signage permanently as "No refunds".

No passengers is great. Would prefer to see it out on the field, rather than on a billboard though.

 

[blues4flag]

No offence to BB but she seems to be lacking a bit of refinement to be called a 'lady'.

 

[Aphrodite]

Sounds eerily similar to Richmond's suggested slogan for 2011: No passouts.

Absolute gold !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And the Tigers new slogan is ...............



"The Tiger is Stirring"

That works as you can stretch it out if the Tiger fails to pounce. The Tiger is yawning, the Tiger is stretching, the Tiger is just taking a leak, the Tiger is scratching itself, the Tiger is hungry, the Tiger is at the door, the Tiger is going back to bed, the Tiger wants it belly rubbed.

As opposed to The Tiger is Shaking.

That's a bit harsh

The slogan hasn't really made a big impression on me. I just want the whole team to get out there and play like their lives depended on it for the whole 24 rounds. I signed up as a member through those horror years as a way of doing my bit, I didn't sign up due to the latest membership drive slogan

Or the tiger is off chasing tail...

 

[parrot]

It's OK I guess.

"Get Ready for Number 17" would have been a nicer slogan.

Once looked fwqd to putting the membership sticker on the car but the last 2 years have been tough
I am happy with this!

Yep, Setanta is going to explode next year
