This Saturday our VFL team heads to Morwell to play a home game against Richmond.

I am getting a lift down there with the Q stick!

[John Wren]

are you riding the q stick dicko?

[Dave The Man]

Would go but have no one to take me and Trains be too Tricky

[Breadcrawl]

Turns out I won't be there after all...

Forgot about my boys' combined birthday party - in Ringwood.

Nice timing Collingwood

On a sort of related matter... Bendigo will not continue beyond 2014, means the game we play against them in R20 will be their last ever at VFL level.

Nothing tricky about changing at Caulfield for the Traralgon/Barinsdale line. And it's only a 5-10 minute walk from Morwell station to the ground.

Come one, Dave, where's your sense of adventure?

Do you have Times for the V-Line Line and How much is a Ticket for the day?

[Dave The Man]

Weather Forecast is also not Great

As a matter of fact, I do!

Traralgon line timetable:

http://www.vline.com.au/pdf/timetables/traralgon.pdf

I'd recommend the 10:44 from Caulfield, unless you want to make a day of it in Morwell and get an earlier service.

Coming back, I'd recommend the 18:14 from Morwell (seeing as it's the first service after the approximate finishing time of the match). This one will get you back to Caulfield a little bit quicker, as it's the express service from Bairnsdale. And it has a buffet car as well! I hear they sell good Twisties...

Tickets? I assume you have a topped-up myki? Are you a concession holder?

http://ptv.vic.gov.au/tickets/regional-fares/

If you're a concession holder, a two-way trip will cost $16.80, and seeing as your trip will occur during off-peak time, you will apparently get a 30% discount.

Of course, you have to add your metro fare from Frankston to Caulfield (and back again) on top of that, but that's only a couple of dollars extra.

As for getting from Morwell station to the ground, I provided walking directions in the game thread, or you can just catch a taxi.

According to JW, you can get in to the ground for free if you're a Collingwood member, which is handy.

I'd recommend a good boozer to fill in time between stops in your journey, but seeing as you're not a drinker, I'll just say there are a number of shops at which you can get a soft drink. Or Twisties...

So Myki Works on V-Line?

Well I see what happens rest of the week. The Forecast of Strong Wind and Rain. Does not Appeal a lot to me to Travel that Far.

Thanks for Info

No worries, Dave.

Yes, myki works on V/Line. That's (one) reason why it was brought in.
