Bitter Melbourne Storm Fan Makes Sure He Books His Magic Round Airbnb In Dolphins Territory

A rare Melbourne based Rugby League fan is still not quite ready to talk about recent events, it can be confirmed. 

Not the health related events that earned his city a global title and still make his eye twitch whenever they are raised, but the events that took place on the first Sunday of October 2025. 

The day the Brisbane Broncos STOLE a premiership from his lightning bolts. 

The day Reece Walsh and his band of rag tag Brown Snake boys swanned into Sydney and whisked the 2025 Premiership out of the hands of the hot favourites, the Melbourne Storm. 

So much so, that Dave Rayblume is refusing to book his Magic Round accommodation anywhere near the ‘snakepit’ of Red Hill. 

“Nah, stuff em,” said Rayblume, who’s taking his wife and two sons to Magic Round in the River City as an early birthday present for the boys. 

“I’m not booking my Airbnb in Broncos territory.” 

“Phins Up mate,” he said, browsing a nice little 3 bedroom apartment in Canon Hill. 

“See, this place is more Red and Gold, that Maroon and Gold, and it’s pretty nice too,” said the local man excited to make a weekend of it. 

“Look at the pool in the building complex,” he laughed. 

“The boys will probs wanna spend more time in that than at Suncorp haha.” 

“But hey, as they say, that’s footy.” 

When informed by our reporter that the Airbnb in Canon Hill probs still constituted Bronco’s territory, Rayblume told us the interview was over. 

“It’s a nice place, and it’s close enough to Redcliffe alright.”
