Best vantage points

[Darky]

Most football games I've been to, I've been with somebody else. This sometimes means a bit of a barney about where to sit. I was wondering what your preferred vantage points are at all the grounds you go to.

I used to love the top corner of the Northern stand at the MCG, in the front row before they put they new scoreboard there. Now I usually settle for top deck, level 4, or if it's a little crowded I go the standing area on the bottom concourse near gate 7.
Princes Park I used to have the same spot in the fwd pocket but again that made way for technology and a great big bloody dirty new grandstand, so now I don't care where I sit at that ground.
Docklands behind the goals at the La Trobe Street end, although there really isn't a bad seat in the house there.
At the obsolete suburban grounds I used to like standing behind the goals on the muddy hills these grounds tend to have. The Barkly St end at the Western Oval was always one of my favourites.
Waverley, I used to sit behind the goals, above the concourse at the southern (small scoreboard) end.

At The MCG Darky I like to sit at the lower level around M11 to M16 dont really care, dont mind the AFL lower level when we had seats there. But I have to disagree with you about there not being a bad seat in the Ground at the Docklands> My sister and her husband sit on the lower level right at the back and a breeze blows through there that could rival anything at artic park on the worst day, and it is because the doors blow open, and then there is that revolting smell behind the goals, smells like everyone brought egg sandwiches to the game and decided to open them all at the same time. And then there is the top deck where you look down on the players heads, well if that is not the worst way to watch a game, and I believe there are other areas where you cant see the score board and someone else i know could not see one of the point posts. Well apart from that I like the train in and out, and the toilets are clean, and yes if you get a really good seat then it is ok.
