All the multiple contracts and boats probably help them though. Should we be offering players under the table boats over at Yarra, GE?
Guttriss would absolutely love Melbourne! The pub scene is fantastic.
Come to think of it, ol' Gutters would fit in very well in Bundy or Rocky too. They both have a pub on every corner in the CBD.

Problem with Bundy when I went there a few years ago none of the pubs I could find were open on Sunday
I bow down to thee oh great Nickman, the wisest of the wise, your political adroitness is unsurpassed, your sagacity is unmatched, your wisdom shines through on this forum amongst us mere mortals as bright as your scalp under the light of a full moon, never shall I doubt your analytical prowess again. You are my hero, my lord, my savior, may you accept my offerings so you continue to bless us with your genius.
No it's the parochialism that is Melbourne's downfall. And the self aggrandisement, that is not backed by any actual "qualities" of the town. I always laugh when Melburnians say "this is the Paris end of Melbourne". Which is a bit like saying, it's the Paris end of Bucharest.

Melbourne doesn't have beaches, but I can't remember being able to drag a beach chair into burley griffin with a floating esky on a 42 degree day like I can at Elwood...
Firstly, this thread is the goods and should be renamed "The Future Boogs Award Winning Melbourne Clearly Has No Beaches Thread". Secondly, no one has mentioned the little alleyways full of cafes and pubs. They are simply awesome. Of course a city of such alleyways is fraught with danger for the average rugby league player who has the irresistible urge to urinate whenever he happens across one.

Thats what I've found about Melbourne. All the good or interesting spots are tucked away in an alleyway somewhere rather then out in the open or on main streets. Need to actually go looking for the good cafes and pubs

That's a big part of the charm. Though apparently it's parochial to think so. I should just get back to whinging about those cold winds we get.

What, **** off. Was it Christmas day??
Nope just a random Sunday afternoon about 6years ago, complained to the mate whose business I was helping start up and he told me it was the norm, times must've changed since then though.
