Community Partner: Team 22 – Robert Rose Foundation
We are proud to work alongside our community partner, Robert Rose Foundation, who will launch their ‘Team 22’ Initiative at the MCG on Friday night. The foundation is named after former Magpie Robert Rose, who became a quadriplegic in a car accident at age 22.
We are encouraging all fans to get involved with the Team 22 foundation this Friday night, and you can do so through the following:
- Make a donation through tin rattlers/pay pass around the MCG
- Join in the activation outside the Membership Hub on the concourse and have a go at wheelchair football. Those who get involved will have the chance to win a 2019 team signed Guernsey
- Watch the Collingwood 2018 premiership winning VWFL team and the 2019 team as they head onto the boundary line with the premiership cup during the quarter time break
There are a number of ways to donate to this foundation which you can find out about on the big screen at the game. Click here to donate online now and to find out more about Team 22.
The foundation aims to raise $500,000 from the initiative to continue and increase its support, which extends to equipment and house/car modifications, one-on-one mental health care and participation opportunities.

By car:
Car Parking at Yarra Park:
Car parking spaces in Yarra Park will be very limited and in high demand.
We strongly encourage fans to take public transport, or to park in the CBD if driving to the match.
By public transport:
Click here to plan your trip to the MCG using Melbourne's public transport network. Please note, rail and road construction projects may impact some public transport services. Visit the PTV website linked above to find out how your journey may be affected.
Due to major upgrades to Melbourne’s metro rail system, from Monday 1 April until Tuesday 23 April there will be disruptions across multiple lines which will affect your commute to this weekend’s game. Click here for info on affected train lines and alternate routes.
Transport Disruptions:
There are many pedestrian and cyclist disruptions in the Melbourne Olympic Park Precinct as a result of the works. Please refer to the list below for specific crossings and footpaths that have been closed and alternative routes available.
Closed the pedestrian footpath along Olympic Boulevard at Gosch’s Paddock to build a shared user path. Closed both pedestrian crossings at the Punt Road and Swan Street intersection.
Click here to learn about the alternative footpaths and crossings available

For the latest news on disruptions to transport networks in Melbourne, please click here to visit Victoria’s Big Build website.
MCG Footbridge closure:
The MCG Footbridge will be partially closed to allow construction works to take place. There are alternative pathways available to the public. These include the use of William Barak Bridge and Edwin Flack Bridge for pedestrians and low mobility patrons to travel north to south across the precinct.
At the ground:
Arrive early: Security measures such as wanding and bag checks will have an impact on the time taken to admit patrons to enter the stadium. Please allow extra time and don't leave your arrival until the last minute.
Be patient: Security inspections take time, so please understand it will take a little longer to move people into the stadium.
Limit the number of bags you bring: Each bag will be inspected, so the more you bring the longer it will take.
