If im on the bench, injured or watching my footy club play im sitting on the bench most of the time and im more passionate about that - why would I be considered a bandwagoner for sitting at the footy?
It has nothing to do with being fatigued as you get more air into your lungs walking and you are better off keeping your muscles warm.

Stand all the time, I have a seat at the dome but I would not have a clue where it is. Since the move to the Ponsford at the G it has lost something but one thing about standing is that when it goes off it is electric.
I do pity the people in the seats in front of us though. A group of Essendon supporters got a huge spray one night at the G from a mob of pie fans.

The seats are there for a reason... we couldn't all go to standing room! Imagine a GF where everyone wanted to move to standing room
Yep we should all sit down quietly and clap.
Fair dinkum mate, give the nanny state crap a miss will you. Go and watch the netball if you don't like it.
This is footy not chess!
Are you sure you aren't a Demon supporter??
My point loser is if you wont come out with your loud mouth comments sober then don't get the dutch courage to be a loud mouthed hero with the more drinks you can guzzle into you the louder you get.
By all means say what you like but if you wouldn't say it sober shut the f up once you have a drink in you.
Anyway being a Fremantle supporter you are probably sipping a latte anyway pretending you know about football but really know nothing.

Wow!! Peoples behaviour change when they have had a couple of beers and get caught up in the exitement and passion of a game of footy!
What an astute observation on human behaviour!
Would you prefer it if the AFL banned alcohol and only let in nuns, accountants and wowsers like yourself??
That'd create some atmosphere!! Just imagine all those whispered..."come on Number 5" comments.
It would be rivetting stuff!
I think you might have your West Australian teams mixed up buddy!!
We are the feral bogans.
The mob up the road are the coffee drinkers.
You don't know much about footy. Do you!!

I Love my Coffees.
3 in the first hour of the morn is usually the start I need.
Latte's??
Always used to stand but then I got married and she comes to the footy with me so those days are over.
the seats at subi are too narrow and not enough leg room for me,im well over 6ft.
my knee is usually embedded in the person in front of mes neck
When i try to stand i get told to sit or leave the ground.
so i just dont go to subi anymore.

That problem is similar to mine.... I seem to find that my ass is alot wider than the seat so I end up with half a cheek resting on the person sitting next to me...
Now Get me a Whopper Bushie!

i stand all the time, and always have. being a geelong fan tho, the standing room section at KP makes this a whole lot easier and enjoyable than at other grounds.

At least you still have one.
Going to the footy at Subi is akin to attending a North Korean political correctness re-education concentration camp.

Never been to Subi.But if it's anything like Telstra dome.I agree.

Quarterback Style
Stood the past couple of times at Aurora stadium and its pretty good. Elevated, looking right over the interchange but can still see 99% of the ground. Near the bar as well. Good spot.
The good thing about standing at the Dome is you are much closer to the action than at the G, plus you can see a screen in most spots unlike the G. I think i prefer the G though because it actually has proper standing bays so you don't need to be in up against the rail like at the Dome to get a clear view.

The problem with standing at the dome is the standers are pretty thin on the ground.Rarely getting more than one deep.No atmosphere.
Agee though ,the viewing isn't bad at the Dome,it's the only saving grace.

Nah cant stand those noisy things as i labelled them last season or the one before.
My voice is all I need.
My 8 year son has one of those noisy clacker things
Good thing I only take him to a couple of games each year.
I sit BTW for reasons I'm not going to explain.
