It's been a while since I've taken the train to Geelong, my friends and I are planning on getting an earlier train and have lunch in there but I'm not sure how it works with trains home. I'm looking to book ahead but do they fun footy special trains and do you have to book to be on them. Or if you have a ticket to Melbourne is that all you need to get on to any of the trains heading back?

Thanks in advance.

Given you will be leaving about mid-way through the third quarter, and that there will only be another 85 Melbourne supporters allowed in to the ground, I don't think you would need to worry about missing the train home...

The Geelong stations have myki mate.

Not sure if they would run extra trains - obviously most of the stadium will be people from Geelong.

Before anything else you need to get your hands on a DeLorean.

Then you could go back in time and make sure 186 never happened!

Or go further back and remove Barry Prendergast from the equation.

Do you know roughly how much it is for single trips so I know much to load on the card.

http://www.vline.com.au/pdf/timetables/footy/afl3.pdf Has the footy special and one more. I think it's mostly hourly to Geelong on Sundays. The Myki calculator suggests $16.52 for an off peak adult return fare. It's also the first day of Regional Rail Link so you'll go via a new route. You'll only need to book if you decide to catch the Warrnambool train.

Some of the comments in this thread are tiresome and we don't help ourselves with perceptions in the media and footy public. ?You want a ticket get on ticketmaster and buy one. There's still a couple of hundred reserved seats left plus GA. Personally, I think it stinks it's not included as an away game membership.

Will also be there, rubbing shoulders with past players... of the enemy variety unfortunately.

Not sure if I'm looking forward to it, actually.

Uncharacteristically this week I'm full of trepidation.

i think it's not included as an away game membership, because everyone on that type of membership would therefore pay more and yet so few would take advantage of it

Get off at South Geelong - 500 metre walk. It's zone 4 in Myki. Be careful there's a new timetable on Sunday because Geelong trains go on the regional rail line through Sunshine and two new stations then back in at little river. NOT through Newport or Werribee

At least he is weaving his Magic at Carlton now.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
