OT: Chad Townsend, craft beer baron?

[shadowboxer]

Not a lot of soul involved by the looks of it, but I could be wrong. However the dead set mercy call by pumping social media to get votes in GABS hottest 100 beers is embarrassing, this for a beer which was released in November 2020.
Further, anything which has ties to the Feros group stinks of a cash grab.
Best of luck Chadwick and the Townsend crew

 

[Stake Removed]

So if Chad moves to another club, is he bringing out another beer.

I am getting ready for his Newtown beer this year

 

[snout]

Does he remind anyone else of Grant denyer?
Just a little guy who never gets the message to step back. That they have an annoying exuberance.

2016 Raiders final was on fox last night.
Watched it.
Have only seen it the once - when it was being played - and was in no mental state for the 80 minutes to take in a lot of it.
How the f**k did we win that?
Prior and bird.
Heighno.
Ennis.
Incredible games.

And then chad. I knew he had a nightmare..but man.
And Beale who came on for him. Taking a hit up with 20 seconds to go to run the clock down and Croker steals one on one. I was stressed again and l knew we won.

If only this useless turd burglar put as much effort into his career as he does his “side hustles” maybe he would justify his contract.

“Leeeeeez Goooooo”

disclaimer - a brewery in Cronulla itself would be cool. Could someone beat him to it so I don’t have to give him my cash?

haha f**k how annoying is the lessgooo.. get the f**k over yourself

You actually do not want to hear my thoughts on this, well I have spilled them privately, and it's not for me to air what has gone on publicly.
Let's put it this way, I've joined the anti Chad brigade. I was on it last year because of this, but have kept my mouth shut.
Most craft brewers do it out of love, then there is the minority who only do it to sell to the majors to make quick dosh, and in the mean time don't care who they tread on and use other people's hard work that they have been working towards for years, all by using a little merkins name.
Enough.

Sounds like there's more going on with Chad's beer than meets the eye.

For those irked by his side hustles, I've heard he's also really into his property portfolio

For those who are upset at this, what do you want him to do.
It’s obvious he likes to be busy off the field.

How many footballers finish their career and end up with nothing? So many players end up struggling and doing some shitty job to make ends meet.
Here is a guy who got good advice early on to make himself media ready. Build an income outside of football. Purchase property, invest in business.

Nothing this bloke does outside the field when it comes to business is a reason why he may not perform.

The truth is, he is limited physically and athletically. Football wise he knows what to do, just doesn’t have the athletic gifts needed.

When I first met him as a 15 year old he was so far ahead of every other kid on that 16 year old Matthew’s cup squad. He knew where the ball was going and never shied away from the contest. A trial against west’s at liverpool he smashed big blokes.
The biggest he issue he faced was being manufactured/forced into being a halfback too early on his career. He should have been hooker or a 6. He was never the guy who was supposed to guide a team around.

Before you blow your load over if he should have outside business or whether his marketing methods are ideal/ethical, this forum is for judging his football.

If he sucks he sucks. Catch and pass. Make sure your first step is forward. Kick off ty e front foot. All he needs to do

 

[Eion]

Come on shaggs this forum is about discussing everything, how many pages are devoted to friggen Scomo for goodness sake.

Chads putting himself out there with his profile on his poddie, socials and now beer. He could have quietly gone about his properties if he wanted to escape comment.

 

[Feki is bae]

Nobody is saying he can't have any hobbies/side jobs and yes good on him for thinking of life after football. Many players don't.

But if he plays shit and has seven other things going on he leaves himself open to criticism that he isn't focused enough. Playing for Sharks is his main job by a mile.

 

[Feki is bae]

Speaking of beers that Shark Island stuff is good gear.

 

[snout]

Chad won't finish the year as our first grade 7.

So good he is preparing for life after footy

Like Hairy man-well run small operator, good range of ales and seemingly positive all round.
For a great day out, highly recommend a winter Saturday walkabout tour of the breweries in Sydneham and beyond. Work in a game at Henson to watch the Jets and a feed at Henson PK Hotel and I’d say your on a winner. As a few have mentioned, maybe Chad will be flogging his beer on the hill at Henson and running out for the mighty jets some time late this season or next.

Yeh that area is superb for breweries. One of them already puts out a beer called Newtowner so Chad is out of luck if he ends up at the Jets.

Just play good footy you merkin. Having a beer from the Grifter Brewing Co in Marrickville...if you like IPAs and getting drunk, this will do the trick.

Get yourself to sauce around the corner, cracking beer garden, philter is also close by and a quality joint.

I do enjoy a grifter also.

Sorry Bondy.

 

[BatteredFlake]

Nah it’s called being a merkin.

Of course . No argument from me. But name me a highly successful businessman that's gotten there without treading on some toes ,making some enemies, stealing some ideas, taking advantage of skilled people {,who don't understand how to promote their own skill and knowledge for their own good ,or love their craft to much to take the time to sell it } overlooking inconvenient facts ,and ALL without being a general merkin? But they do get things moving and get things done.

I had to delete my post in case of some merkin maybe seeking legal remuneration .
Some people know the truth.
