Parking at the G

Not sure if this is already well known or not but I just saw this on Facebook - from round 7 you must pre-book a parking spot if you intend to park in the MCG car park. There will be no more option to drive up and pay at the gate.

On first impression it seems annoying (particularly if booking fees are added on) on the other hand it might be good knowing you won't get up to the gate only for the "Car Park Full" sign to go up meaning you have to try and find another park with the game starting in half an hour.

    Yes but not always a preferred option for those who are elderly, disabled or have young kids - especially for night games.

    I haven't parked at the G for years. Seems like the worst thing in the world to do unless absolutely necessary.

    Finally. It's incredibly annoying driving 1 hour to the game through traffic and then arriving at the car park only to find it full and then having to park 30 minutes away from the ground by foot

    parked at the g for a game against the suns in 2013, we could have had the whole gate 3 parking lot to ourselves :)

    Dees got done by 60 points too.

    I park on the Anderson Street hill and take the chance I won't get a ticket, it's 2-3-hour parking, never got a ticket and I've parked there hundreds of times. It's a 25-30 minute walk but it's really nice walking through the parklands.

    When the kids were younger, and I was too, we used to walk to the ground and if we won run up the hill to get to the car so we could listen to the summary on the radio.

    I noticed an area that a few were using to park their cars on game day, free and unrestricted time.  

    Could also be used for parking close to Gosch's. 

    Access is from Punt road, when driving north, just past the yarra. It's under the freeway.

    I used to park at east richmond station. Have not done so for a few years but never failed to get car park.

    Agree Dr. I don’t go to night games basically because I don’t like travelling home on trains and of course it is freezing. The first game this year I drove to the G. This new restriction  makes my signing up for Kayo look like a great decision. I have I think 6 day games to go to before seasons end. Going to footy is now a special treat. Yes I know a first world problem.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
