Has anyone else heard the advertisement on SEN for a parking outfit at Melbourne Airport that starts off with a bloke whistling "It's a grand old flag" and then saying he went to Perth and saw his team get flogged but because he was so happy with the car parking services, he was thinking of changing clubs.

Don't these [redacted]s know that they are p[redacted]ing off fans from their own state. I for one will never avail myself of their [redacted] services and I recommend that nobody else does unless they remove the advertisement and apologise to the Melbourne Football Club for their offensive (and misleading because we're a different team now) advertising campaign.

    Have heard it and agree.

    The service is garbage and over priced anyway, but yes 'Jack' the add hasn't gone unnoticed.

    The best way to fix this crew is to lobby for the airport train and then we might not have to put up with the extortion that is even worse than food and drink prices at the footy.

    I travel a lot and use off airport parking (Jetport - fabulous service). I thought I may have been a little precious because I heard the ad, got annoyed and made a mental note never to try their service. Apparently I am not alone. It was really unnecessary.

    That ad's so 2012 - 2013 ish. One of the by-products of being shite.

    They were pretty spot on with the result though. In the ad it says we lost to Freo by 16 goals, while in reality we lost by 15 goals last year in rd 10..

    I suggest you all take a deep breath.

    I think it is funny.

    lighten up guys

    You can dump on my (ex) wives

    You can even dump on my children.

    But DON'T dump on my footy team.

    Glad others have noticed this 30 seconds.

    I have wanted to punch the Radio more than once.

    It's now 2014.

    This morning i heard it followed up by Paul Roos advertising AHG!!

    Not only is the ad outrageous but Melbourne Airport parking in general is the closest thing to legalised theft that I have ever seen. It makes printer cartridges and bottled water look like a sound investment.

    Okay, for the benefit of those of us not in range of Melbourne radio, please name them and shame them...!!!

    The company doing the ad is Melbourne Airport Parking.

    Before this shizen campaign they were responsible for the 'raelene and robbo, cheap flight from tulla to dubbo' ads.

    The only ads I've heard on SEN that annoy me more were the 'shhh don't tell anyone, turn your radio down' ads for St Kilda Road towers...

  • Quote

    The ad's been going for ages.

    I can't imagine any Demon fan stupid enough to bankrupt himself parking at the airport.

    I do the maths - cost of two taxi trips vs airport parking at Jetport - breakeven for me is a 1 week trip

    I haven't heard that add but it sounds like the person lining their pockets with their car parking business must be an Essendon or Collingwood supporter.

    While I shouldn't feel too precious over this add, BUT, I bloody well do I"m afraid!!! I'm too sensitive by half I'd say, over the Melbourne Football Club

    Its all about stereotypes and reinforcing them and it infuriates me, they can count me out of parking the car there, but i suppose i don't count , but if the Dees fans , thousands of em elected not to park there, that would be marvellous !!

    I would find it amusing if it was any other team but mine…. As I say, I'm a touch sensitive !!!

    I'm with you - it is all about stereotypes and reinforcing them and it angers me no end and...wait...I'll finish this post later - I gotta get my skis out of my range rover without ruining the leather sleeve patches on my tweed jacket ( go the number 6).

    When did that abomination appear in the daily??

    A short time before the whole Mitch Clark thing--which makes it all the more embarrassing and awkward for all concerned.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
