I love the fact that people think they would only want to leave Melbourne to be near family. Id say not getting mobbed by drug addicts in the city, paying 50% less for a house, actually having a hospital see you when you visit as opposed to push you into a corridor to hope you get magically better, a place to take your kids to school where they learn.... All these things do have a impact too...

People like Baker dont come back to see Mummy. They come back because they know how much of a better life they can provide their family in Perth compared to the city that pays 26 mill per day on debt

Rules out perth then

Perths drug addicts are more friendly. Not sure why. Probably because its warmer here or something

Its probably due to your better hospitals, better schools and cheaper houses

Dont forget the lower crime rate, better weather and that mining money

Literally none of those things are true though?

1. I've never been mobbed or even confronted in the city. Perth is a staggering 2.1% lower on the crime index. The 5th and 6th highest cities in the country.

2. The median house price is around 20% cheaper, not even close to 50.

3. I was in hospital ED for a non critical issue about 2 months ago and was in a bed 2 hours later.

Elective surgery wait median wait time is about 21 days less in VIC compared the WA.

As for ED wait time in 2024 - "WA is the worst in the nation when it comes to seeing urgent patients on time, well below the national average of 58 per cent."

4. New South Wales and Victoria dominate every year’s “Top 100 schools list”. For 2023, these states accounted for 86 of the top primary schools and 79 of the top secondary schools. Queensland and Western Australia fought for the scraps (with just 6 of the highest-scoring primary schools each, and Queensland having 12 of the highest-scoring secondary schools compared with 8 in WA).

Guys know that playing for a Vic side can extend your career by prob 50 games (if you make it) compared to WA sides so are wanting to start in Vic.

Baker coming home is probably a financial thing/end of career top up

Both public hospital systems suck and are underfunded.

Melbourne's city culture, other sports events, more games of AFL, proximity to snowfields, Montague st Bridge crashes, more friendly environment for nerds, that weird leaning thing over the freeway.

That's all great, if you happen to like other sports, the snow and can be arsed going to multiple games a weekend.

If you're one of the many that doesn't enjoy those things, it's just another, expensive, city.
