The healthy burger company have provided a significant cash injection to become a key sponsor for 3 years! 

Delicious news.

I will continue to support our club by eating as much burgered beef as possible.

    Is this replacing IG on the front of the guernsey?

    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.

    My partner does recruitment in this space. She's never been able poach anyone from Grill'd because they're paid so well, from head office to restaurant level. 

    Definitely over-corrected by the sound of it.

    I've never eaten there but is there any chance they'd serve them in the Tridents area on level 2 of the Olympic Stand this year? At Kardinia Park they have a Chin Chin pop up restaurant so it's not that big an ask.

    The SBS article (posted earlier in this thread) is interesting about the traineeship pathway being underpaid and that Grill'd has apparently set the wages lower for that type of role since it is focused on skill acquisition at "Hamburger University".  I know Maccas has a similar program (also called something about a University lol) - wonder if there are similar issues?

    There are new criminal offences for wage theft from 1 Jan this year, but that's aimed at more traditional case of underpayment...

    Will be watching, I really love Grill'd since I don't eat at other fast food chains!

    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. 

    Maybe not legally, but definitely morally; many staff were kept on those traineeship wages for extended (that is, beyond reasonable) periods of time. That was according to info I saw dated October 2024.

    Hopefully they are investing more in their staff now, and not just the MFC.

    What happened to the reaction buttons on my post immediately above this one? Is this censorship?

    EDIT: No, it’s just me at my dumbest 🤣

    That’s the strangest pitch, it resembles concrete with hessian cloth laid over the top.

    The irony thing is if you're team wins you get a free burger. 

    Grilld are probably happy to sponsor a club where they probably won't have to give away to many free ones

    Don’t think they’d be happy with us losing games. 
    The more frequent customers go there even if it’s to claim a ‘free burger’ the better, but let the pile on continue in this thread too.

    Yeah, I saw something about that and almost chose a NRL team. Not sure which one would actually win though.

    If you're a storm fan you would get a burger practically every week

    these 'get a free burger when you spend $20 if yr team wins' aren't exclusive to mfc / melbourne storm members

    every member of every club gets that offer

    shame there's no further incentive for mfc members as yet

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
