Footy Alert: WB v Geelong; Carlton v Melbourne; St Kilda v North

It's another super-hot round at Etihad Stadium this weekend, with three bumper games lined up.

Tonight the stadium will be fired up as Western Bulldogs take on Geelong at 7.40pm. Tomorrow two of our home-grown teams, Carlton and Melbourne, will battle it out at 2.10pm. And finally on Sunday, St Kilda will go head-to-head with North Melbourne at 1.10pm to secure their top spot on the ladder for another week.

If you're planning to attend either game, consider arriving by boat in to the Waterfront City Marina and docking at any of the public berths available. From here it's a short walk to the Etihad Stadium. Bookings are essential, please phone Melbourne Docklands Marine on (03) 9658 8738 or email berthing@melbourne.vic.gov.au.

Alternatively, you can also get to the games by train from Southern Cross Station, or tram. Tickets to each game are available through www.ticketmaster.com.au.
