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?

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. |
