    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..

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
