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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
