Giedroyc reportedly tolerated in city (9)

I believe the answer is:

melbourne

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city' is the definition.
(Australian city)

'giedroyc reportedly tolerated' is the wordplay.
'giedroyc' becomes 'mel' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'tolerated' becomes 'borne' (I've seen this in another clue).
'borne' sounds like 'bourne'.
'mel'+'bourne'='MELBOURNE'

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
