MCG !
Best setup & not because RFC play there.
 
A photo finish between The G & Optus but the The G gets the nod for its atmosphere,transport,location etc etc.

Worst was that poo hole Subi.

Of the old grounds Glenferrie Park & Western Oval were a good watch but that swamp at Moorabin was always a Heavy 10.

WANFL Games back in the early 1970s:

Wherever Perth played back then
Claremont
Fremantle Oval

20/20 Cricket
Optus Perth last year.
Have also seen test and one day cricket at the MCG - saw Viv smack Lillee around in a one day match in the 1970s, what a sight.

MCG is the winner by a mile, the home of football for very good reason.

Would have loved to go to Moorabbin this year though, it has been decades since I went there. Wonder if the centre square has dried out yet . . doubt it.

My memory of Subiaco was of the enormous 3 storey grandstand at the Subiaco end, old stands along the Northern side and outer on the Southern side. I was pretty young so these are quite vague memories. Watching the 1984 State of Origin recently brought back some memories as it would have been similar 10 years earlier when I last went there.
