Moving to Melbourne

Recommended Posts

What a silly thing to say.

South of the Yarra is a great place to live. Lots of services and resources.

Lived in Toorak just on the border of South Yarra for about 6 months - paid $330 a week for a spacious one bedroom apartment with view of the city, secure carpack and entrance, great, classic building.

I would suggest:

Richmond

Collingwood

East Melbourne

Prahran

South Yarra

Glen Iris

Was just a joke.....Lighten up.....

Come out west. The western suburbs are great. No need for the perfectly cut lawn and if your car catches on fire you can leave it on the street. It's a modern garden decoration. You can wear footy jumpers every day of the week and have great access to such iconic fashion designers as fubu and stussy.

Thank you Cowboy, made my morning absolutley [censored] myself at this post, must be a West side thing, I 'm originally from the West of Dublin, which certainly aint no paradise, for anyone interested google Tallaght. Well life is never boring there

Speaking of wearing footy jumpers every day, check this out.

There is only one place to live in Melbourne and that is 3002 (East Melbourne). It is a 5 minute walk to the "G" to watch the mighty Dees and a 10 minute walk to Gosch's Paddock if you are a die-hard. Also, the Hoddle Street bus takes you straight to the Alfred!

We must be neighbours mate.

After living in Prahran ,Malvern ,St Kilda and South Melbourne ,Port etc I moved to the WestSIDE beatches!

If you barrack for Melbourne this side of the bridge they call you "Sir"and bow slightly as you walk by .As I would expect .

Been West for Ten years .

When the smell of the refinery gets in your blood -your can never leave it .

We dont go out for dinner here ,we go out for tea .

Yet I will admit that St Kilda and Elwood ,Middle park ,Alert Park etc are the best places to live in town by a long way .

South Yarra is a hole unless you like wearing white jeans ,chambrey shirts and boat shoes ,in which case you will blend in .

No. No. Don't believe any of the above slum dwellers. Romsey is the place to be. All services available. Good public transport. Easy access to the 'G. Quick trip to Casey, if you want to watch training. Surrounded by dedicated Dee supporters who meet at local wineries and arrange snow trips.

Your post showed a clean set of Elans .

I have never met a lesbian i didn't like.

I doubt they feel the same way about my interest in Lesbianism.

I'd love to explore your lesbian interests Biffo - I'm sure it would be enlightening to all but it would probably give Rhino apolexy. However I think our job is done. "Cunnerz" must surely have sufficient information to make a locality choice. BTW you could easily make a nasty slip with that name.

I'm retiring to finish my Plunkett Shiraz.

Of course you are .

Nothing quite washes down the sour success of liquidating companies from a computer like a Sanguine ,thick ,warm red .

Devilishly pleasurable.

See you on the course for a quick nine and a few new tips.

I am going, but you need to be clear on one point. Liquidating companies is best done just before Christmas and when there are no funds to pay holiday wages. The plebs therefore cannot pick up their Christmas laybys. Majorca is even better under these circumstances.

We live in Richmond and have no intention of ever leaving!! its perfect for us, easy to get around, easy commute to work (would be very easy for getting to the Alfred too), great pubs all around us, cheap taxi ride from the city and we walk to the G on the wends. As well, while the hipsters are invading slowly, there are still some quite cheap, decent places available for rent. I find that as soon as you go South of the Yarra you're paying more for less, but in Richmond you can still find a place that's affordable and a decent size. As for real estate agents, there's no such thing as a "good" one, but the best I have dealt with is Run Property in Richmond, as long as you pay the rent they leave you alone and they're pretty quick to respond to questions or problems.

Good luck with the move!!

Cheap rent in RIchmond?! You're as bad as the guy that thinks it's a quick trip down Punt Rd...

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
