Paging @Dannyz?

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

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
