Muling was appearing live at Melbourne venue Platform 28 when she stitched up Jones and left the rest of panel in stitches.

After spruiking the venue and enticing fans to head on down to soak up finals action, she turned the tables on Jones after bringing up a fathers day event at Platform 28.

“Tony, I don’t know what Annette and the kids have planned for you for Father’s Day next week. But I would probably tell them to perhaps avoid Platform 28,” Muling said as she walked up to a poster on the wall.

“I can just see here … I will just read it. “Do you know this man? Do not serve. Stole soup”.

“I can hear you guys laughing. It is a joke we’ve had on the Sunday Footy Show for a lot of time.

“You know, the theft has affected them. This is called an EFTPOS machine, TJ. You don’t have to talk to anyone, you tap your card, away you go.”

The moment from Muling left the entire desk in stitches.

The incident occurred back in March when Jones was exposed by Essendon legend Matthew Lloyd in a brutal live on air ambush.

The goalkicking great gave Jones a bake and accused the host of trying to skip out on paying for lunch during a team brain storm session at the Melbourne restaurant.

Lloyd’s receipt showed the ambush was more than two weeks in the making. Lloyd said Jones had failed to cough up for an $11 soup he ordered at the Platform 28 venue in Melbourne’s Docklands precinct.

“I go to the bathroom. I’m the last to leave,” Lloyd said with a grin.

Matthew Lloyd brought the receipts

“I go and say, ‘I had the chicken salad and a coke and dumplings, so I’ll pay for that. And as I’m about to leave they say, ‘Excuse me Matthew. There’s an item on the menu that hasn’t been paid for’. And I’ve got the receipt. And there it was, the soup. So TJ I paid that $11. You just walked out.

He went on to say: “Can you pay me back?”

Fellow panellist Nathan Brown told Jones: “Gee, you’re tight”.

Jones gave an unconvincing explanation.

“That is a genuine oversight,” he said.

“I just assumed the producers might have paid for a meeting that they called.”
