Epping or Hurstbridge lines will take you through to Jolimont station, otherwise Frankston, Cranbourne, Pakenham, Glen Waverly, Belgrave and Lilydale will take you through Richmond

There is a big screen before the escalators/steps which will tell you which platform and how long till it leaves

well any tram (75, 48, 70) that goes along Flinders Street from Southern Cross station will take you to the MCG.

 

i think tram is easier because it can get abit confusing by train and im assuming ur gettin a V-line from ballarat, u will have to by a metro ticket either way but im not sure u can get to jollimont from southern cross without going to flinders first.

i think its easier to get the tram all the way down flinders to the ground..


Whats easier tram or train?

I prefer the train, the best bet is to get the Epping or Hurstbridge train through to Jolimont, takes about 7 minutes.

If you get the Epping or Hurstbrige it misses Flinders st..

For example, if you got the 6:43 train from Southern Cross your trip is:

SC - 6:43

Flagstaff - 6:45

Melb. Central - 6:46

Parliament - 6:48

Jolimont - 6:51

Also any Pakenham, Frankston, Cranbourne, Glen Waverley line train also go through Richmond and then just follow the throng. If you go to Flinders Street from Southern Cross then Richmond is the next stop or if you go through the loop Richmond is the first stop whn you come out of the loop. You cant miss it because the train goes straight past the MCG. If you are still unsure ask any Melbourne supporter because we are such nice people (most of us anyway).


Stick with the train mate, don't bother with trams, too much hassle when you're already at the station.

Anything that goes through Jolimont as people have mentioned, or anything that goes through Richmond (which is practically every other eastern line like belgrave, lilydale, glen waverley, cranbourne, pakenham, etc etc will get you to Richmond and then follow the faithful. I'll be finishing up work and getting to platform 10 myself.

Prepare to mix with lots of Doggie supporter coming from out West!

Any train that goes to Flinders St and then just walk towards the "G" along the river and over the Barack bridge. Magic walk especially at night.


Good call she devil - it is an awesome walk, really builds the atmosphere and shows off the city. Also the opening of AAMI park, so should be even more electricity.

Whats easier tram or train?

Get the Train straight to Richmond station, then get off with the masses & walk with the supporters to the 'G'.

Easiest & quickest way/ than the tram.

There's a lot more trains going through Richmond station.

Jolimont is closer than Richmond.

Just change platforms at Southern Cross, look at the screens and get any Metro train going to Richmond or Jolimont stations.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
