sometimes to see the forest you desire, you have to re-imagine the sapling's potential.

As a Melbourne resident, I can reliably inform you that Melbourne has more than it's fair share of Punchbowl-like Suburbs.

A penny saved is a penny earned.

Sell it to Melbourne. Would love to see the AFL pissing their pants when the MCG is flooded with 100,000 people watching the greatest game of all.

This idiot can gently place my left nut in his gob and suck.

The NRL Grand Final should be in Sydney. Just like their AFL should be in Melbourne.

Certain events have a tradition. If it ever does get moved in the next 30/40 years then Brisbane would have next dibs, not these Victorian wankers.

i think that given we were able to attract the largest ever origin crowd, and put on a great show, i think this shows that overall we should be hosting the grand final too...

afterall, we inconvenience 80,000 sydneysiders (and lets be honest, take out travellers, it's more like 50,000) but put on a better show for 4.5m viewers, it's a no brainer...

One day the NRL will break from its nswrl mentality and become "Australia's game", the GF will be sold to the highest bidding city as the marquee national event it will become (inc NZ) and take on a super bowl style showcase. Might take another 30 years but it will get there.

Aside from the over saturation of clubs in nsw meaning a gf featuring a nsw team is likely, I see no reason the gf has to be in Sydney. It's not like the NRL is massively popular in the city.

He doesn't want it to actually watch or embrace the game, Melb just wants it to add to their 'Sports capital of Australia' line.
