I live in Brisbane so i like it enough but in no way is it an attractive enough city that living there could be considered one of the perks for signing with the local club.

And if the weather is really going to play a significant effect on a players decision to sign, then the prospect of playing Football in Brisbane's summer is a hell of a lot worse than a few mildly cold mornings in Melbourne's winter.

Drop the "the"

With regard to import players, I've never heard one state a preference as to where they go - it's just "are there any opportunities in Australia?"

a few good bites...thanks for coming

You can't put up a stupid post and pretend you are trolling when everyone calls you out for talking shit.

I think you are right and wrong. Ive spent a fair bit of time throughout Europe, and have found trends in terms of Brisbane/other cities reputations. Germans fucking love Brisbane/SEQ and Adelaide and arent that high on Melbourne or Sydney in my experience. Similar with the Dutch. British people were all about Perf/Syd/Melb. Italians and Greeks love Syd and Melb. Obv generalising but were a few obs I made.

Some people literally dont care and think Aus is a big beach covered in Kangaroos and Koalas and Sydney is maybe the only place they know, predominantly due to the recency of the Olympics.

Melbourne is one of those cities that has a reasonable reputation, but Victorians cant imagine it as anything less than it being the greatest place on the planet, like a Skip version of native New Yorkers.

This is pathetic :lol:

Good. Without them and their belgian neighbours, the beer cafes in the city wouldn't be anywhere near as good.

Biggest Oktoberfest celebrations outside of Germany as well haha
