The last-ever AFL game at Subiaco Oval will be played between West Coast and Adelaide on Sunday.
Despite some brilliant memories of going to games at Subi Oval (I'm refusing to call it Domain Stadium), I for one will be happy to see the back of this Soviet-style stadium when part of it is finally reduced to rubble.
With football set to move to the swanky new Perth Stadium next year, let's take a look back at some of the greatest ever games the venue has hosted.
1) 1978 WAFL Grand Final between East Perth and Perth
East Perth were rank underdogs going into the grand final and were lucky to even take part in September action after jumping from fifth to second in the last game of the season after overcoming arch-rivals West Perth.
Former Perth great Barry Cable shocked the footballing world in 1978 when he took up the captain-coach role at the Demons' cross-town rivals, East Perth.The Royals, led by Cable, needed some kind of divine intervention to stop the red hot favourites, Perth, from claiming a hat-trick of flags.
Enter the weather.
Playing in monsoon-like rains for most of the game gave the less-talented Royals' side an edge and somehow East Perth managed to hang on to win by two points.
Former Perth and Fitzroy great Ian Miller won the Simpson Medal while mercurial Demons forward Peter Bosustow was sublime, finishing the game with seven goals.
His magical major in the last quarter when he dodged and weaved past a number of Royals' players in the teeming rain is still one of the greatest goals I have ever witnessed.
The footage of a fist-pumping Cable being shouldered off the ground still sends shivers down my spine today.
2) The 1981 WAFL Grand Final between Claremont and South Fremantle
The most infamously fiery opening to game in WA football folklore.
Bulldogs enforcer Basil Campbell flattened Tigers ruckman Barry Beecroft seconds after the ball was bounced, sparking an all-in-brawl.
I was sitting in the front row when the fracas erupted and for a fleeting second I seriously thought about bolting for the nearest exit, fearing I was about to witness something a pimply-faced teenager shouldn't ever see.
It was one of the most brutal openings to a grand final ever, as players from both sides started throwing wild haymakers.
The sight of South's legendary ruckman Stephen Michael "gently" holding back Claremont's superstar Jim Krakouer is something that has lingered with me for years.
The Mal Brown coached South Fremantle-side, was full of indigenous guns in Maurice Rioli, Stephen Michael, Benny Vigona and Campbell.
The Claremont side was oozing talent as well, with Jim and Phil Krakouer, Brownlow Medallist Graham Moss, future West Coast captain Steve Malaxos and prodigious goalsneak Warren Ralph.
It was the high-water mark for WAFL footy.
Claremont went onto to win the game by 15 points after trailing by a solitary point at three-quarter time.
3) The 1986 State-of-Origin game between WA and Victoria
Some might regard this as an "easy pick" given it's been regarded as the "greatest state-of-origin game ever", but there is a bloody good reason for that.
It was really the last of the great SOO games before the Eagles joined the-then VFL in 1987.
WA coach Ron Alexander made a surprise move before the game and named pint-size midfielder Brian Peake at full forward.
It turned out to be a master stroke with Peake finishing with seven goals.
The Sandgropers looked done and dusted in the last quarter with the Big V up by 21 points.
The lead changed hands seven times in the last quarter and former Geelong player Andrew Bews appeared to have sealed the game for the Vics when he scored a goal late in time on.
But up popped state-of-origin warrior Gary Buckenara who kicked a goal to give WA a three-point win.
Brian Royal and Dale Weightman each kicked five goals for the Big V while Brad Hardie won the Simpson Medal.
4) The 1992 elimination final between West Coast and Hawthorn
The previous year the Hawks spoilt the Eagles first ever finals game in Perth by beating West Coast by 23 points.
The hysteria leading up the final in Perth was again overcooked by the media and West Coast coach Mick Malthouse did his best to keep a lid on things.
The Eagles looked in trouble early after trailing by 21 points at quarter-time.
West Coast slowly crawled themselves into the contest thanks to a stunning effort from Peter Matera who finished the game with three goals. His last quarter was brilliant and the Eagles eventually ran over the Hawks winning by 13 points.
The game was the start of an amazing month of football for Matera who would win the Norm Smith Medal a few weeks later to help the Eagles win their first ever flag.
West Coast's win also changed the footy landscape ending a decade-long Hawthorn dominance.
5) 2005 qualifying final between West Coast and Sydney
It won't be regarded as a great spectacle ever at Subi Oval but it was the beginning of a sporting rivalry that gripped the competition for a number of seasons, including two nail-biting grand finals.
It's also a game remembered for one of the most atrocious umpiring decisions ever in a finals series.
Eagles' tagger Tyson Stenglein was awarded a free kick for shepherding against Leo Barry midway through the final term with West Coast still trailing Sydney by eight points.
Stenglein goaled which was crucial in such a low-scoring match, especially given the Eagles looked out of the game after being down by 14 points at three-quarter time.
Late in the game Eagles' original swingman Adam Hunter took a screamer over Swans backman Sean Dempster and then converted the goal to put West Coast up.
The game seemed all over when forward Ashley Sampi extended the Eagles' lead with minutes remaining.
Swans goal sneak Adam Schneider put the fear into Eagles' fans when he scored a goal with seconds remaining but West Coast ruckman Dean Cox took a couple of towering marks to help the Eagles win by four points.
A couple of weeks later, the Swans beat the Eagles by four points in one of the greatest grand finals of all time.
6) Western Derby 34, round 18 2011
It would be an injustice to Subiacio Oval not to mention at least one Western Derby.
(Calm down Dockers' nuffies, because the hyperbole about the 2001 'Demolition Derby' has been mentioned in articles for the last 16 years).
Western Derby 34 is arguably one of the most stunning and controversial finishes ever in a Western Derby.Every great game needs a villain and it's hard to imagine a better one than pesky forward Hayden Ballantyne.
The umpires awarded Fremantle a "ridiculous" free kick for deliberate out-of-bounds against West Coast's Matt Rosa with seconds left on the clock. A decision which even the-then AFL umpires boss Jeff Gieschen claimed was illegal a few days later.
With Fremantle trailing by just two points, Ballantyne had a shot on goal from the boundary line after the siren and off the boot the ball appeared to be sailing through for a goal which saw the Dockers' goalsneak start to jump around in unbridled joy.
It also saw me just about destroy every piece of furniture in my lounge room.
However, seconds later Ballantyne can be seen slumped on the turf in agony after the goal umpire signalled a point after Eagles giant Nic Naitanui pushed the ball into the post.
The emotional gamut experienced by both Docker and Eagles' fans in the last few seconds is why footy is such a joyous game.
Honourable mentions (Dockers games)
Although I'm an Eagles sycophant, I'll admit their cross-town rivals have been involved in some classic matches at Subiaco Oval as well.
So I've asked WAtoday football writer and Fremantle fanatic Justin Rake for his best ever Dockers' displays at Domain Stadium.
Here's his list:
1) The 2013 preliminary final between Fremantle and Sydney
After suffering a disappointing defeat to Sydney in the club's first ever preliminary final back in 2006, Fremantle's second appearance on the second-last weekend of the season saw a vastly different result against the same opposition.
Fremantle welcomed the Swans to Perth with a ferocious display of pressure never before seen in the AFL. The Dockers players' harassment of their opposition was so fierce it's surprising they didn't receive a court summons.
A packed out purple crowd celebrated with tears of joy when their side won through to their first grand final.
2) The 'Demolition Derby', Round 21, 2000
Michael Gardiner might have set the tone of this match by hitting an 18-year-old Pavlich behind play before the ball had even been bounced, but it was the Dockers who won the day.
Fremantle won a spiteful encounter by a solitary point with Dale Kickett smashing several West Coast players and Clive Waterhouse starring with seven goals.
3) Fremantle versus St Kilda, Round 21, 2005
Justin Longmuir's goal after the siren to keep Fremantle's flickering finals hopes alive, and the crazy crowd celebrations that ensued, will always be remembered as one of the greatest moments in the Dockers' history.
4) Matthew Pavlich's farewell match, Round 22, 2016
There was an outpouring of emotion at Domain Stadium in the Dockers' final game of last season when Fremantle fans farewelled best, and most loyal, player in their club's 20-year history.
Six-time Doig Medallist Matthew Pavlich booted his 700th goal early in his 353rd and final match for the Dockers to cap a memorable career.
And, while 2016 was arguably the Dockers worst season following the biggest fall from grace in AFL history, the players were able to lift one final time for Pavlich - a display made even better by the fact the win was over the eventual premiers, the Western Bulldogs.
What do you think? What's the best AFL game you've ever seen at Domain Stadium? Leave a comment with your memory.
