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.

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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
