I will never forget the first time I ordered a pint in Melbourne ..... handed over a twenty and got $10 change - I was about to saying something about the price but then the beer got put in front of me and I must have looked like a deer in the headlights

Who was it that called trade literally radio crying about the Crows losing Lever and Cameron about 5 minutes ago?

I think Kelly is a very different player to Lever. Kelly is faster and much better one on one, but Lever is much better at reading and intercepting the ball and also better with his disposal. That said, the Crows have a couple of other players already in the squad that could play a similar role to what Lever did (not quite as good as Lever plays, but for a lot less money than $800k/year).
Cameron is still very inconsistent and has been carried in the team several times this year. I hope he stays and plays more like he did in the Prelim final than he has for large parts of this home and away. However, if he does leave we should also be able to cover his spot. His speed and line breaking ability is almost irreplaceable, but his kicking for goal (and to team mates when going full speed) leaves a lot to be desired.

Every club? It's hardly a mass exodus.
It is annoying. Half the pubs I've been to around the place don't even have imperial pint glasses. It would be nice if they just followed the rest of the country in this regard.
Saying you're the only state not settled by convicts might be something to be proud of, but saying you're the only state that serves non-imperial pints is, quite frankly, shameful!

we should sell lever and cameron to essendon
It's quite ironical that Victorians say that Adelaide is "shit" or a "hole". I was in Melbourne last weekend and it's safe to say that the Melb cbd is the dirtiest most discussing capital in Australia.its full of rubbish,homeless bums and drug addicts. To go to a decent restaurant you generally have to walk down some dark alley past numerous garbage bins.
It's just a filthy, dark, ugly and generally unpleasant.
Whether you come to Melb by train or plane (via taxi) you drive for 30min through industrial wasteland.
Very glad to get out of there and back to Adelaide. Even Sydney which has a much greater population is infinitely more pleasant.
You serious? All Day?

Did you travel outside of the city? the surrounding suburbs is where its at. Unlike Adelaide Melbourne flourishes outside of the CBD. One suburb alone in Melbourne has better bars, restaurants and shops than the whole South Australia.
Pity I'm not a fan of Pale after overdosing on it in the 90's, but at those prices I'd drink it. I too like Old man pubs, dying breed.
Cheers for the heads up.
If you don't mind the slight walk it's a bloody good pre-Adelaide Oval pub. Just far enough to be able to get decent service/a seat, close enough that it's only a 10-15 minute stroll (especially in the event the footbridge becomes workable again)

$8- roast probably has a lot more than character to be perfectly honest...
