John Eren is the Victorian sports minister. He's feeling very chuffed and self-satisfied after announcing that a tourist walk, modelled on Sydney's Bridge Climb, will be developed on the roof of the MCG.

If you buy Minister Eren's enthusiastic blurb, this thing will not only inject millions into the local economy by attracting thousands of tourists to Victoria, it will also be BETTER THAN THE BRIDGE CLIMB in Sydney.

There's no doubt the views from the top of the MCG will be terrific. But whether they'll quite match Sydney is another story. Not to turn this into one of those tedious Sydney vs Melbourne things, but we're just not sure the vistas of the National Tennis Centre and the Jolimont rail yards will match this.
