A cheat is a cheat

Yet to be seen. He told them "don't clash with the state". Think they might have gone too far this time, asking for the judges and generals to be overthrown. So charging in I hope. Hope some balls get tampered.

Bottle caps at the ready...

How long are you here for?

Leaving this Saturday

Daemon, are you in Sydney?

Nope.

I'll probably be back sometime next year but it's going to be Melbourne again.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Can happily report I've never been within 20km of Wollongong.

Lived there most of my adult life, though not at the moment.

 

[Burgey]

Daemon is stuck in Melbourne. If he wasn't such a **** I'd feel sorry for him.

 

[morgieb]

Have always enjoyed my time in Melbourne when I've been down there tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah but that's because you know you're going home. Let's be honest, it's Bleak Central. Like London without any history or culture. Couple of good restaurants, I'll grant you. Ugly city to look at though. And filled with Victorians too.

Melbs is arguably the sporting capital of Australia though.

Melbs is arguably the sporting capital of Australia* though.

*the known Universe, according to Victorians, who'd turn up to the opening of an envelope in order to get some escape from the dreary existence of their everyday lives. But self-praise in no praise at all.

Melbourne manages to pack out stadiums for the state of origin, which is a Queensland vs NSW affair

 

[Burgey]

See my last post for the reason why.

They also don't have their own State of Origin because they're so stupidly insular they got rid of the AFL version.

 

[stephen]

They'd win every year in an AFL state of origin because nobody else cares about the sport. I'm sure they only care about it because of your aforementioned reason.

 

[jimmy101]

I do miss the AFL SOO.

WA & SA used to give us hiding every few years or so. We even lost to Tassie a couple of times in the early 90s IIRC.

Not hard considering it's in plain sight beneath my join date.

Some genuinely sad insecurity from non-Victorians here. Luckily, being the bigger men (and the more geographically and culturally satisfied men) Victorians don't feel the need to try and insult our betters (in a hypothetical world where we have betters) to feel better about ourselves.

If any of you non-Victorians want to chat, or just need support in any other way we can provide then feel free to ask.

Look at you sad people quarreling. This is what happens when your stadiums don't have pool decks.
