    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
