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?

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.

... 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 ;)

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9.
