Pretty sure you can. This was our jumper in 2021. 

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
