I've got some pretty firm views on drinking Energy Drinks

'What about the kids who read this' 

'The Sports Meds at the club think this is ok?'

'Maybe I am ill informed, and the clubs Sports Meds have it right?'

Anyway... WTF

Perhaps someone on this forum can educate me.

Most AFL players take caffeine tablets before matches don’t think drinking red bull would be any less different. 
 

There’s many bigger issues in football advertising than a kid maybe drinking an energy drink cause max says he does. This is also dependent on children reading news articles.

I was being a little flippant re: the kids line mate ;)

It's not a good look for the Club. Energy drinks are major medical issue in that they fuel anxiety, interfere with mood regulation and cause insomnia. 


True. They can be quick fix for energy but would be counter productive in a game for more than an hour. May explain Max having a great first half and then breaking even in the last quarter

He should load up a big pipe of tobacco at half time and negate the sugar crash with a nicotine hit.

This is crap the only thing bad for you in energy drinks is the sugar.

Have you read the side of a Redbull can?

There is a lot more in there than just sugar...

I don't see any problem. Once the club has accepted an organisation as a sponsor,  it has an oblilgation to support the sponsor. We also have McDonald's, Furphy, The Sporting Globe and Coca-Cola as partners. I'm sure there will be some who might object to them being promoted by the club. The time to decide is before the sponsorship is accepted. I don't think you can pick and choose which ones to promote and which not afterwards.

Then Max should neck another at half time, more exposure for Red Bull and gives him a pep up for the second half. That's what I call a win/win my friend.

The majority of people have coffee in the morning.

This isn't really that much different. Gladly take the money.

Isn't Redbull the drink of choice for Darren Burgess?

Does it,  "give you wings".?

 

Maybe a couple of cans  for TMc this week,  as well.?      ?

Lets start drinking Thai Red Bull before the game.  We will be 15 goals up at quarter time.

And fall over by half time.?   

Oh wait,  is that what happened against the blues.?

on a scale of 1-10 ( ten being the worst) betting companies are at 9... Red Bull is 6... Maccas and Coke are 4-5

Unfortunately kale producers don't advertise... perhaps they should

What about cigarette manufacturers,   DJ?  They have to be 10 surely?

I would have Maccas higher than that.

Edited by TheKozzieExperience

The taurine and caffeine is being administered by a club health professional...I don’t think anyone would recommend having Red Bull every day. The can itself warns you about this. 
 

the original ‘red bull’ started in Thailand and is essentially a medicinal drink for sleepiness. The Westerners bought the rights and carbonated it. 
 

if taken properly, it can improve mood and energy. If you go mix it with Thai Whiskey in a bucket, as is common place in Thailand amongst westerners, you’ll have an epic night and a horrible horrible hangover and a buttload of anxiety. 

I think AFL players taking it is fine as it is regulated by the sports scientist. I don’t think it sends a message to kids to take it.

yep the killers are at 10 (but they are rarely seen on the advertising screen)

Maccas is below Red Bull because RB has few redeeming features... over caffeine and as sweet as hell

Maccas at least provides calories

Like everything. In moderation is fine. If we gave everything away that is not good for us we would not drink or eat anything. This world is going nuts. On a cold day when playing back in Melb a few of the boys had Stones neat at half time

Agree to a point, but if you talk to youth mental health workers they see energy drink consumption as a real cause for concern and believe their ill effects are very much under-estimated.

I also remember seeing  Sid Catlin having a dart at quarter time at the old South Melbourne ground.

I have mine with a shot of Red Bull in it.

  • 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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
