I must say I'm extremely disappointed with the DL response to this.

High profile, sure, perhaps we should try EnergyWatch? But then again, they never killed anyone, so play on.

I hear you firey one.  I think we've all just been totally desensitized.

Look around at the complete moralistic  cesspool the world has become.  I could list of any number or recient events that people no longer seem reactive to.

It's too late at night for me to sum up a cohearant reaction what I think of the MFC's involvement in this asides from why does anything with potential good like this for the MFC always seemingly need to turn to complete shiiiiit.

This a great sponsorship pick-up but everything just got super-seedy.

We just ditched gaming. This one feels way off. 

I won't bag the product, but in a high-performance sports arena?

Seriously?:

“Across a number of my previous clubs, we used Red Bull as part of our match day and high-performance programs,” Burgess said.

“I believe Red Bull can provide our players with the ability to sustain energy throughout both training and, crucially, matches.

“It’s a product I trust and when coming to the Dees, I wanted to introduce as part our program mix.”

Hopefully they're using Andy Walshe as part of this, rather than the product itself... judging the quotes above though, I think not.

Cheers man - I forgot to consider the distinction between company and product (which share a name). 

The article is quite evasively worded - never fully referring to the drink. 

"Red Bull’s product has been used throughout the pre-season to assist with performance"

I do believe they are referring to the drink, but if they're not then that is pretty dodgy in itself (falsely leading kids to believe sports-stars are using a given product for performance is not cool). 

The main thing: I may have gone off half-cocked. I was thinking of the near 30g of sugar per can and my own experience (a kick before an even bigger crash), but there could indeed be benefits for elite athletes.

Quite a bit of literature out there in favour and against - and I'm not going to sift through it (along with determine who funded it). But, Burgess also referred to previous match-day use, and I doubt there would be much research into AFL-type conditions.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
