Zurich probably didn't like it. They have now probably insisted on the correct colour.

and according to google images they commonly use a mid-blue and a light-blue logo

big call out for mine is that this is the first time they've come on board as a sponsor within the afl industry

i'm almost 100% they were on board with the smjfl a few years back

but getting a company that's not previously invested in the big end of the industry? that's some fantastic off-field work

What are Grill’d burgers like? I hope they don’t use brioche buns and mayonnaise.

Must have plenty of money lying round. Perhaps they could pay their staff appropriately?

Was just about to post the same. I don't want sponsor dollars derived from ripping off workers. i hope they've cleaned up their act.

You’re in luck; they don’t use any ingredient or collection of ingredients that would make up a burger that could be fit for eating.

I’ve had them a few times, they’re pretty good imo

The one thing I really don't like from Grill'd is their chips, what's with the grass clippings? Just put chicken salt please.

I used to think the same…. Now I love them.

Also, if you haven’t tried the HFC chicken bites do yourself a favour and order them!

Fair Work signed off on the traineeships. The union says they're not worthwhile but if you're keen for a career in hospitality it can get you a great gig managing a bar or restaurant. Many fast food joints do the same thing. I got paid less back in the day at Maccas to do the same thing. I'm sure businesses are taking advantage of it but Grill'd did nothing wrong legally.

Good work Dees.

Good company in the 'quick serve restaurant' category from what I've heard.

Sounds like there'll be another sponsor announced in the not too distant future too.

[La Dee-vina Comedia 17,047]

Interesting timing. I wonder whether the arrival of Wendy's, which just opened its first Australian store on the Gold Coast about two weeks ago, has anything to do with it.

Is this replacing IG on the front of the guernsey?

Sort of

 

IG were going to leave after 2021 but we won the flag - so they stayed for another few years.

My nephew has worked as Grilld for a while and loves it

Looking forward to the Trout and Brie MFC Burger coming out!

I think they make a good burger.

Your user name prompts me to ask anyone living in the Malvern area if they remember when Grill'd in Glenferrie Road used to be Ollie's Trolley?
