It's also highly stupid and naive after their crap first 2 tests performances doing it knowing every campaigner has a phone camera.
Note totally not against team bonding and drinking but ffs how did expect it would go down?
There was SO MUCH talk in the lead up to Noosa about how it was a terrible move and all the prep talk that was going on - particularly after they clearly needed more time with the pink ball.

Given they are acutely aware of how they're being perceived in the media, that's a failing on the staff as much as the players. You cannot tell me that there was no thought about this as they were heading over to Noosa.

Like, it would have been a bad look if the series was anything less than 2-0 up for them. and it would have backfired tremendously if they then lost in Adelaide after started 2-0 up.

There's no world where this was a good idea, and I have no issue with players on the piss.

Public holiday one.

Normally around 10-15 percent
Jesus. I wish I lived in Melbourne. :confusedv1:

$17 a pint for mass produced local swill is taking the piss on a large level. Adding 10-15% is extortion.
I'm surprised people drink there.

$10 a schooner is pretty normal here for craft beer, mega swill is cheaper again.
Not too many pints sold up here, gets hot too quick.

Must admit i had 3 pints in the Melbourne airport the other day. ****n $21 each. I was sweating that if the flight was delayed id have to shift some funds around. Jesus

$17 a pint is absolute extortion. Still find a few pubs in Melb doing $10 pints, but a rarity. Shout out to Rocky Ridge in East Brusnwick for its $6 pints on Sundays – god bless them.

One of the beautiful things that my pre-retirement life in mining lead to was Lifetime Gold in Qantas Frequent flyer.

I don't have to buy beer in pretty much any airport worldwide, unless it's before noon domestic flights. And let's be honest, if its a choice between getting some of my exorbitant airfare charges back in the form of free piss or flying at an uncivilized hour, I'm going with free piss thanks very much.

Off the top of my head it was 14000 lifetime status credits to get to LTG.

The bastards have probably changed it now.

I got there in 2019. Which was the year I ditched working.
Ive got a whole 140 that count. 7k to lifetime silver

Wait until the lounge access goes on sale (usually once or twice a year) and get it if you fly more than a couple times a year. Don't think they include guest passes anymore with it, but you can easily get the money back on it if you get there and glutton it up
 
I got a QANTAS jolly for Tuck's recording breaking game against Melbourne, 1A, limo to the Windsor, then to the ground, box in the Olympic Stand then back to Adelaide, it was top day out and I've still got an oversize novelty Michael Tuck badge to show for it somewhere.
