Raiders flex acting muscles in lime milk commercial

milk

I have never drunk Raiders Milk. As a child a combination of disliking milk, instinctively avoiding whatever the popular kids liked, and thinking Rugby was for neck-less slabs of meat who’ve somehow learnt to talk, prevented me from giving the unnatural green liquid a try.

My opinions on things haven’t changed much as I’ve grown, however the Raiders just released a new promo video for their flavoured milk cocktail and the powerful performances by Raider Meat Slab 1 and Raider Meat Slab 2 have convinced me that perhaps I was mistaken.

Their masterfully paced presentation of what first appears to be a brutal game plan for murdering their opposition sets up the plot twist (it was actually a brutal game plan for murdering milk) perfectly. Later a Raider is given a giant carton of milk. presumably because he still has a visible neck. Hilarity ensues.

That’s it, I’m gonna drown myself in this stuff and bulk up.

Go team!

Put a shot or two of your favourite spirit in a 5 oz glass, top with greeno and yummo! Brandy works for me but Bundy was good too! What’s a footy endorsed product without a bit of booze? Try it you’ll like it. Soon you’ll be peeing on somebody’s shoe at a public urinal along with the best of them.

These guys play a game called Rugby League. Rugby is what Rugby Union is more commonly known as.

As for ‘neck-less slabs of meat’ in Rugby, well lets just say that off the top of my head I can name 2 practising orthopaedic surgeons, former Sydney Lord Mayor and CEO of Fairfax Ltd who have played international Rugby.

Unfortunately you are fighting a losing battle trying to educate AFL/Melbourne fans on the other footy codes in Australia. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the ignorance is deliberate and can’t be cured.

I don’t follow so not sure how true it is but my mum always said league was a thugs game and union was a gentlemans game

That’d be because it is so much more gentlemanly to drag your aluminum studs across the back/soft inner thigh/face of a man who is lying prone on the ground and has no idea of who you are, rather than say, bury your sholder into his quad muscle, pick him up and drive him into the ground as he runs at you doing a speed of 11 sec/100 mtrs whilst snarling and frothing at the mouuth and trying to run over the top of you.

If that’s being gentlemanly give me the thugs game anyday.

this may be a Canberra locals thing, but lime flavoured green milk sounds absolutely revolting. citrus flavours and milk aren’t friends…

Actually, Nick Farr-Jones never made it to Lord Mayor of Sydney, one of many candidates who couldn’t overcome the Clover cult. And you forgot to mention Maree Bashir – Governor of NSW – whose husband is Sir Nicholas Shehadie, a former Wallaby.

Dear genius

The former Wallaby who was a Lord Mayor of Sydney, and who I was describing is Nick Shehadie. Farr-Jones wasn’t under my consideration, and never would be, as he was a back and they don’t count

Off the top of your head, how many more can you name that are rapists, thugs that bash people, woman abusers or dog molesters?

Oh wait I think it’s only the league boys that act like!!!

Not many at all. I can name far more that are intelligent productive members of society. I’d suggest the percentage of scumbags would be higher in the general population than in any code of professional football.

It attracts a nicer class of neckless slab.

Great to see a Raiders legend was used in the ad – Clydie still looks fit enough to play. I hope some of his toughness and skill rubbed off onto the pea hearts that are currently on playing on their roster…

Woolies and coles were a disappointment.

Saw a small carton at the supermarket at Forde this afternoon.
