Probably a good idea to book train trips for the GF as soon as possible. The Overland is not completely sold out for the prelim yet but it looks like they are close to it as not all seat options are available.

I'm pretty sure there's a vline service from Adelaide to somewhere, then transfer from bus to another or train. Just check vline website
I'll have to drive over Friday night, watch the game and sleep over there somewhere, sat night.
If anyone's still considering flying you should check out the Qantas and Virgin websites - some prices are starting to come down. Still works out to around $550 to $650 return, but better than it was.
One option is over with Qantas on Saturday, arriving just over an hour before game time (yes - don't check in bags and RUN to a taxi!), and then back with various options on the Sunday.

Kind of a Jagger-Tarzan
Big risk. Big, big risk.
Agreed, but at least it's Qantas rather than say Tiger. Depends on your thoughts on risk & reward!
Think it normally takes 40mins to get from Melbourne Airport to the CBD so it'd be tight, but I reckon with preplanning (maybe even prebooking a private car transfer) people could do it

Cheers for the idea
Unfortunately it won't work for me but i'll let others know the details I discovered.
Ideal for people who:
a) Have Friday off
b) Happy to travel a few extra hours
c) Wanting to save significant money
- Coach departs Ade CBD @ 7.15am Friday, arrives in Bendigo @ 5.05pm (wait 20 mins for train to Melb)
- Train from Bendigo @ 5.25pm, arrives in Melbourne @ 7.26pm Friday night
Cost: $55
Agree - booking a private car would be the way to go but if you miss the 5-10 minutes, it isnldt the end of the world. You wouldn't want to miss the start of the Granny............

The city link? Lived here for 5 years and never had an issue on a Saturday? Friday from 3pm onwards another story....but never Saturday.

P.s Where is everyone going for a beer beforehand? I was at Fed square when we played Collingwood for a couple quiet ones, whilst watching Port Adelaide highlights on the big screen - was great!
Hey Port fans,
If you don't have tickets for the game, I can nearly guarantee you won't have a problem buying them at the G.
As it is the "series" game, lots of people will have tickets they may not want and will try to sell them.
Last year I was one of them trying to sell and there was nobody wanting to buy.
Again, last year there would have been dozens and dozens of people trying to get whatever they could for them. Half price, whatever.
I ended up not able to even give them away.
Good luck to you this week, and hopefully the week after.
I grew up barracking for Collingwood #1 and Port Adelaide #2.
Williams, Phillips, Abernethy, Bucks, Cahill, etc.

We're gonna be making some noise. Might need to raid the MCG announcers room and stick on NTUA before the game - actually just that guitar riff will do - and we will all join in and sing it ourselves.

20,000 expected to flock to MCG
MORE than twenty thousand Port Adelaide supporters are expected to make the pilgrimage to the MCG to watch the Power take on Hawthorn in the second preliminary final this weekend.
Ticket sales are tracking strongly and the AFL is predicting a roaring crowd of between seventy and eighty thousand.
Port Adelaide’s General manager of consumer business Matthew Richardson said the club is excited by the number of supporters travelling to Melbourne.
“Our members and supporters have been amazing all year and this is just another example of it,” said Richardson.

I’ll make tears from your Wines.
I know it's a positive but it pisses me off still. We couldn't get that to a home game a couple of years back. I get more bitter as I age.
