I didn't have any trouble getting in to ground, but it is an appalling place to watch football. I was stuck behind the goals at the Southern end, couldn't see the tops of the goalposts in front of me, or the boundary line, or most of what was happening at the other end of the ground. I had one eye on the TVs to see what was going on, but the picture was on a 3 second delay. The speakers barely work, so you couldn't hear the team songs. I'll go again to support my team, but it is pretty much world's worst design, unless you are one of the chosen few sitting on level 2.

have to agree poita. i watched, i guess, about 70% of the game on the monitors (which were fortunately close). i was on the wing city side and the glare from the led light strips and the open gaps to the western sky through the opposite stands was blinding.

i'll probably keep going there, but i absolutely hate the place. i always get the feeling that the stadium mgmt do not give a stuff for the public (or football) and screw them at all opportunities. the only thing they care about is milking profit and the corporate aristocracy. it's a concrete bolt-hole with no soul.

    lol you serious? Even interstate teams?

    Why? How did that happen?

    Sorry but i refuse to go to a privately owned stadium that the AFL could easily buy 

    The waste of $$$ from that shitehole is incredible.

    So every Victorian club MUST have a home game at Etihad?

    Did the AFL just make this decision unilaterally or did it just work out that way that everyone sold a home game there?

    Gil was on the news the other night AFL is locked into a contract for a certain number of games each season at Etihad, assume with all the other fixturing "issues" they probably thought that giving each Vic Club at least one home game there it would stop the whinging   WRONG     Geelong who have their 'own' stadium like us play a home game at Etihad in a couple of weeks

    Etihad tenant teams have been pushing to get more home games at the G. Especially Carlton and Essendon. Compare their ES vs G home games a few years ago to now. To accommodate that other vic clubs play home games at ES.

    However, the rub for us is that the likes of Hawthorn Richmond and Collingwood play heaps of away games at the G which we don't. Geelong have SS.  So they all get more home ground advantage games than us.  Our total games this year at the G is one of the lowest ever.

    Atmo we have no negotiating power with the afl.  What little we have is used up trying to keep the ANZAC Eve and QB games. 

    It might change if The 4 Vic Powerhouse clubs stay stuck at the bottom of the ladder for a few years?

    Hawthorn doesn't have ahome game there this year, unless I misread the fixture.

    The wages paid to The AFL Commission would go a long way to buying out that hideous excuse of a Stadium

    it is a disgrace that such a lopsided contract was ever concieved for 25 years...no doubt people within the AFL have benefitted very nicely whilst the grass roots fan has been dry Rogered...

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
