Footscray game will act as an encore match of sorts after the NAB game against their seniors at Docklands...

Don't think many will stick around after an AFL game. I've never heard of AFL going first.

It is, but it's ideal from a player management perspective. No need for emergencies to miss games.

The NAB Challenge Game.

The Coburg game is before the Sydney Game in RD 1. Had to get home Quickly after the VFL game vs Coburg

The NAB Challenge game, depending on the timing rules they use, will finish about 3:30pm or so.

If you plan ahead properly and stay on your toes, you might be able to get between games in time.

The Coburg game will finish about 5pm-ish, again depending on what timing rules they use. Likewise, plan ahead and know your train times...

It is the VFL Practise Games so Depends who is playing in that game do I make a Big Rush or not

For the Coburg game I be willing to leave a tad early so I can be home for the Sydney game

Fair enough.

Now that I think about it, I'll have to weigh up my travel plans for that Coburg game as well. Driving might be quicker from point to point, but parking would be a bitch. Train would cut that out, but my line is almost as unreliable as yours...

What I read on the Metro Site. There will be a Bus on the Frankston Line(Until at Least June) so I probably give my self at Hour and a Half to get home so the Latest I could probably stay at the Coburg Game would be around 5pm

Club website now showing a 2pm start for the first game this Sunday against Werribee...
