Magical morning at Gosch's Paddock

Great support for the boys at training today. Collingwood are gone from Gosch's. It was a busy morning with The Dees, The Storm and The Victory all training at the same time and a great turn out of supporters to give the boys a boost. Get there tomorrow if you can. Who cares if they get beaten. They are still our team.

Well done six6six - I knew your comeback would come sooner rather than later.

Hopefully, your pictures can chronicle some more happy times for the club soon.

Nice work six.

What are you shooting on and what lens you using for those? Looks great.

Thanks thbt,

I'm a Canon man. I have a couple of cameras but these were mainly taken with a 7D and Canon 70-300 mm f4-5.6 lens. A few of the really long shots across to the far side of the ground were with a Sigma 50-500 f4.5-6.3 lens

Nice!

I have a 7d at home and a couple of 5d's (mk 2 & 3) I use for work (video stuff).

Looking at getting a long lens for still stuff as all my lenses are short and fast. On a crop sensor do you find yourself using the length beyond the canons 300mm? I'd like to do more sports and wildlife stuff on my 7d.

 

Gosch's paddock was an unofficial name give to that place but eventually stuck, given it is now ours I feel a rename is in order. Perhaps Barassi Oval?

What about Stynes' Green?


What about Stynes' Green?

I think anything that's "Melbourne" would be great, the Stynes name would obviously carry a lot of emotion to it.

thbt,

Because the players are in all parts of the ground I use the full range of focal length from 50 through to 300. Because it is a compact lens, it is better suited to hand held. The Sigma is pretty big and generally needs a monopod to get steady shots. My other body is a 5D Mk3. I normally only use this with my faster prime lenses.

Leave it at Gosch's Paddock. There's history ... William Henry Gosch leased the land from the Melbourne City Council in the 1870s as a holding area for his local transport company's horses.

A fan-tastic Idea & turnout to help the lads... It may be a help to turn a corner.

I was glad to see & read about the encouragement for the boys, Unfortunately I couldn't make the trip down to Melbourne, having building work done.

good luck to the boys today, & Go-Dees

No lets leave the Heritage angle, but let us Build an Office & Social Hub next door to AAAMI Park & adjoining that Medical centre...

... we could call it the RedLegs centre by Gosch.

this is the Edwin Flack Field on which AAMI Park is built.

edwin-flack-field-jan-2006.jpg

... notice the top right hand corner of the picture, there is a structure. If we built our home base just Nth-East of that structure we could have an Office & Social Hub right there on Olympic Boulevard within easy distance of the 'G'.

... and it would overlook the training fields we could develop just off Olympic Boulevard, & a little away from the petrol fumes of Punt Rd. But right next to the Public Transport of Trams & Trains.

For the past couple of years we've had a B grade training oval, and we've performed accordingly.

Here's hoping some of the success the smelly pies have had whilst training at Goschs paddock rubs onto us.....

Ps. And the Pies new oval riddles them with injuries....I'm not bitter, seriously I'm not ;)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
