2015 Draft, Trades and Free Agency rumours.

Both as bad as each other in my opinion. Mudgee is better than both.
The benefit of sydney for our players is they arent getting hounded every 5 mins.

The only redeeming feature of Mudgee is its butterscotch schnapps, which I'm sending my parents out to get tomorrow.

Gold Coast would need him the most and it would be great PR for the club to have twins playing for the same club.

Agree but I think his manager is just throwing things to the media to up his contract at the Cattery

 

[Iva Bigun]

Looks like lots of clubs are trying to sign Robbie Tarrant as a FA. HUN reporting that the lions could offer as much as 500k, can't see us matching that personally but hoping the loyalty card plays some sort of hand given that we've stuck by him whilst he couldn't get out on a park for 3 years.

I don't think anyone outside of a north support believes that, I think you can relax

 

[Iva Bigun]

Apparently Aish is tossing up between a couple of Melbourne clubs next year and wont be going back to Adelaide.

So apparently was half of the GWS side, half the Melbourne football media should write for the Women's Weekly with their propensity to embellish

Would be a boring thread if all we ever posted were concrete facts...

Haha. No traffic. Pubs. No people.

Living in Sydney id disagree a little: he is great mates with Ward. That and the bright future of GWS had a huge pull (and the big money) I see him regularly with ward and other GWS players at the beach having a great time. The players some here for the money, but also because it's an aweosme city to live in. I think Sydney is going to become a very nice location for players in the future. More so then the Gold Coast

Both have there advantages and disadvantages

Sydney and the GC share the relative anonymity for players which I think is a huge advantage

Sydney has big city appeal and better weather than Melbourne

GC has outdoors lifestyle, great weather but is small in comparison to Melbourne or Sydney

Melbourne has the football history and football culture, can be great or suffocating depending on the individual

 

[dlanod]

Haha. No traffic. Pubs. No people.

Nothing for an hour in any direction except coal mines and farms. One Hunters and Collectors concert wasn't enough to change my opinion. Might be slightly different if I liked wine, I do admit.

Bliss

Oh you forgot pubs.

 

[Baxter 26]

I think Aish will beca pie or possibly a blue, just a gut feel.

Be a pie i mean

 

[Mitchell54]

Yeah, that's not true.

Plus - the weather is fantastic compared to Melbourne.

(Note: I don't live there, but have lived in both)

I live just 1h 30 mins south of Sydney, it's beatiful down there, occassional trip to central Sydney is lovely

 

[bungalow_bill]

I hate the beach.
I don't own a boat.

If you don't do either of those things Sydney is a rubbish place to live. Outdated public transport, pathetic roads, over-priced real estate, terrible pubs, average restaurants, surrounded by flogs...Shit place to live.

I prefer Melbourne as well - love the cold weather and the more European feel.

You forgot being an AFL fan in an NRL obsessed city. Broncos ugh!

Where you at Mitch?? Coleslaw/Thirroul way or south of the gong?

 

[Super Hans]

I'm sure as an AFL player I'd love living in Sydney. Not having people coming up to you every 10 seconds would be huge. But everyone's different. That's why some stay and some go home. Also why some get traded to Sydney/Brisbane.

 

[philthy05]

Maybe getting off topic here but I love living in adelaide. Have friends in Sydney and they talk about how even something as simple as wanting to get fresh milk is a trek that will involve time , traffic , waiting in long line ups and basically becomes a huge mission.

 

[Taylor]

It is slightly harder to land a groupie bonk in Sydney.

 

[Suma Magic]

Used to live in Sydney and spent heaps of time in Melbourne.

Footy is awesome in Melbourne.

Traffic is shit in Sydney.

Apart from that Sydney shits over Melbourne. Catching the ferry to work is magical.

 

[eth-dog]

Melbourne is better than Sydney in literally every way.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Melbourne is better than Sydney in literally every way.

You have lived in both?

 

[eth-dog]

Nope, but I've visited Sydney on many occasions.

 

[Sweet Jesus]

Melbourne is better than Sydney in literally every way.

What about beaches?

What does Melbourne have that eclipses Bondi, Bronte, Tamarama and Clovelly in the eastern suburbs and Freshwater, Manly, Collaroy, Dee Why and Avalon in the north?

Another good thing about Sydney is that it doesn't have a churning inferiority complex.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Nope, but I've visited Sydney on many occasions.

Lol. You must be a real expert then

I just wish the kids were a bit more honest. Boyd never wanted to come to Sydney but his ego wanted to be number 1 pick.

When I found out Wingard told us if you pick me I'll leave for nothing in 2 years initially I thought he was a punk but with time to reflect I respect it as he saved us a pick.

As you say though everyone is different.
