Will say it right now from the start it wasn't a night to remember as Claremont fans probably saw a re-enactment of the crucifixion of Christ but this time at the hands of 18 red and white shirted players. It was all one way traffic with South Fremantle winning 12 goals 19 behinds 91 to Claremont 8 goals 5 behinds 53.
Food was stock standard for the venue. Chips, pies, hot dogs and chicken strips; The usual Australian delicacies. The ice cream was not too bad; chocolate coasted with nuts and a flake was 5 dollars and was a decent size but melted too quickly even in the cold Fremantle night. The hot dogs were not great but not terrible with a choice of an Austrian style of German smoked style was the best part. However the 8 dollar price tag and the stale bread and vile onions were something to be desired. No wonder people still continue to buy food at nib stadium and Domain stadium. People of Perth who supposedly travel a lot are willing to fork out money week in week out to sub-par food. I only had it to do my part to sample, something I will be hesitant to do in the future.
The saving grace is the city of Fremantle itself. With pubs, bars and places to eat to choose from you cannot go wrong post match. I did go to the Monk and although the place was great atmosphere wise and nice comfortable setting, the prices are something of extortionist's prices. Garlic bread was burnt, bland and tasteless with the sweet potato wedges saving the night with such deliciousness. The crunch of the chip with the sweet taste of the potato and the aroma it makes when you bite down then the smooth velvet soft texture as you eat it was money well spent. Sadly the rest of the menu wouldn't warrant it sadly.
Was great to get out of the house on Good Friday but I wouldn't want to waste money at establishments like that. Why justify their existence of stupidly high prices with an inferior product? They have a point when it comes to "Shopping around".
