Noticed tonight on the news Nathan Jones father being interviewed wearing a Demons polo shirt.

Problem was the polo was about two years old, and had Asics and Primus logos on it.

Not a great look, surely the club can give him a polo shirt with our current sponsors logos on it if he does any more media appearances!!!! Can you imagine a club like Collingwood or Essendon allowing a players parent to appear on the telly in old club apparel. It wouldnt happen. And we wouldnt see Joffa without the latest Collingwood gear on would we?

I know Jones' father probably just did the interview, autonomous from the footy club but it's the small things that make a footy club look professional. I reckon someone at the club would've been dirty when they saw it. You dont give ex sponsors a free kick. Ever.

I bet Nathan is given a new polo to take home for Dad tomorrow.

 

Hardly the most pressing matter surrounding the issue

And we wouldnt see Joffa without the latest Collingwood gear on would we?

No.

Your spot on in SOME of your sentiments.....

Clubs like Collingwood would be money hungry and shallow enough to 'make sure' that they are flogging a sponsor regardless of the situation.

I dont know if this particular situation calls for the sponsors to be branded all other the tele.


If you're referring to the channel 7 interview, than it looked to me like it was a 'Today Tonight' invasion-style interview. The poor guy clearly didn't know he was going to be interviewed, and the reporter was literally standing outside the door just questioning him (their TV was on too, which kind of distracted from the whole thing, and clearly demonstrates how stupid channel 7 really is :D).

Had the club known that an interview was going to take place I'm sure the right polo would have been organised, however I doubt the club said to Jonesy "sorry your old man had his nose and ribs broken, please give him a new top to wear in case some [censored] reporter feels like knocking on his door for an unannounced interview, thanks" :rolleyes:

Professionalism is having Jim Stynes and Nathan Jones front up the media and discuss the issue in a calm manner. Giving the guy who was bashed up a new polo so he can plug our sponsor is just a tad self-serving, and would seem as if we are trying to make a profit out of someone's misfortune.

I know you're not the club's greatest advocate at the moment DeeBest, but boy you seem to be clutching at straws right now.

Good to see you are worried about the real issue here. Maybe Colling@#$% can make sure those thugs have all the latest gear for their day in court. That'd show us.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

  • 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.
