I didn't get in until halfway through the first quarter because for some reason their ticketing system is so slow. How and why I don't know.

Yeah me too I was in the line for what seemed an eternity when you know the game has started nothing worse...it seems its always like that...hopeless

    Firstly, I am never going to a game there again. The fact that I couldn't see the boundary line below me without standing up AND standing on my toes is a disgrace.

    Secondly, the room in front of you is probably half that of the MCG. At the G, you can walk past people without them having to fully get off their seats. At the Dome, people have to literally get up, stand and turn for you to walk past. Even old cinemas from the early 90s aren't that bad.

    Thirdly, all of the restaurants at the Docklands suck considering what you pay. I went to Mecca Bar and paid $22 for a chicken kebab - one shish kebab on a small bed of rice. Wow. (I know this has nothing to do with the stadium but thought I'd throw it in lol)

    I just hate Jihad Stadium.

    I am a disabled person who walks with the Aid of canes, thus my aversion to this crap stadium. The room between seats is worse than flying economy- plus the angle of the stairways to get to seats is too steep (vertigo) so i refuse to go.

    I pay $700 a year to watch Football at the 'G & shall continue to do so.

    Last week on this site i was accused of being a "weak" supporter-don't do it again...

    Just recieved my copy of "The Red Fox" from the Post Office..what an epic read.........

    I think it is a fantastic place to watch any sports. Lots of places around the area to eat other than the stadium, i mean come on every other stadium charges food through the nose it is not just at Docklands.

    You have it right, Cards. It's a great stadium and dead easy to get to with public transport. I love the MCG more but in all fairness the food and beverages prices are no different between stadiums. Both venues food is priced similarly and exceedingly overpriced. I hate paying $8.50 for a plastic flute of champagne and I am tempted to refuse to pay the price but I love a glass of champers at the footy. :lol:

    Yeah i don't mind it either, although being in the back row (x) on Friday wasn't great. I've gone to games against sides other than Essendon before and had great seats. Obviously it's no 'G, but the atmosphere in the place with the roof on can be electric, you don't get rained on, and it's easy as to get to.

    I've more of an issue with Essendon's need to fully ticket the fixture, than the ground itself...

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
