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.

    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

    • 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.
