Paging @Dannyz?

I haven’t heard anything else but the front short spot is free.

Is this replacing IG on the front of the guernsey?

That was removed on the 2025 jersey

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 🤣

Wow, I’d never noticed that before! Well, at least I got to use one of my favourite scenes from that film.

Speaking of Grill'd the Sri Lankan Cricket Team are being baked and cremated on their home turf doctored wickets!! Aussies 5-627 What are they doing? 'I'd make runs on that pitch! Tip Aussies to be all out for 923!

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

If only the club can wrangle a Ben and Jerry's sponsorship deal.

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

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.
