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.

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.

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...

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).

    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

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
