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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
