Was thinking the same DC... wonder if each team will get a brand.

Ruski and Smirnoff self select for GWS and perhaps Port Ellen for Port (does sound like a great drop ... 35 year old malt from the Isle of Islay and a price to match.)

Of course it's great that we didn't get Tanqueray !!

If teams are going to be sponsored by their alcoholic drink of choice, Collingwood's sponsor would be somewhat misleading.

After all Brut aftershave is usually used for an alternative purpose but they could at least use it as an angle to also score a deal with Coca-Cola Amatil.

Up from Blue?

No its considerably cheaper than Blue at about $70 per, but having had both my brother and i both prefer the Green.

so that would be jw blue for the northern standers and jw red for the plebs. dee_luded would be dee_lighted

I think many on here are missing the point. They are an event sponsor so what is our B&F Award called The Keith “Bluey” Truscott Memorial Trophy.

From the article

"Johnnie Walker will also be a partner of the AFL’s founding and arguably most prestigious club, the seminal Melbourne Demons  as well as a proud sponsor of Seven’s Friday night’s appointment viewing TV broadcast of the AFL."

Well, they have covered their bases given that we don't get the chance on a Friday night game!

But I must say I read this while having a neat green. Tasty.

I'm going to read something into this story that I probably shouldn't. If JW is going to be a proud sponsor of both the Friday night TV broadcast and of the MFC, does this mean the AFL has given the club and the sponsor an in principle commitment for more Friday night games in 2019?

Original recipe Absinthe for me. I drank it with some Russians in an underground bar in Vladivostok. I honestly thought I was going to die.

There were some terrible "popular" drinks in the 70's.

FMD, I cringe at the thought of some of the [censored] I used to drink.

You should give up the [censored] Ethan ( difficult for a dees supporter I realize) but didn't you also have a near death experience with some rare cobra juice?

No, you were safe. When they want to kill you they put polonium in your tea, or novichok on your doorknob.

Ouzo is mine. I can smell it in a bar of a 1000 people 50 metres away (shudder!)

[Emerald 1,683]

My apologies for the derail of this thread, sorry for stirring up everyone's nauseous memories.

Jaegermeister is my nauseator.  My god, my stomach clenches even thinking about it...

Ouzo and Pernod are much the same yet one is thought sophisticated and the other .... ??

Fascinating the run on gin these days... it's just grain spirit with flavouring

Kero is the better drink (with orange juice and crushed ice)
