Not sure where you are coming from but if you get off at Richmond station you can walk from Brunton Av to Swan St and walk or tram down Swan St.

Unfortunately next weeks aren't up yet and being subject to change (especially with some 40ish degree temps next week), you're no cert of catching them. It'll be Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning. Give the Club a bell Monday to see if you can't catch Wednesday.

 

[nick_savo]

alright, thanks

From flinders street station catch the Wattle Park tram it goes around the back of the mcg. you can either walk around rod laver (or vodafone i forget) and you end up across olympic park or the next tram stop and you are just a short walk to the left to Gosch paddock.

 

[nick_savo]

Is Gosch paddock, Lexus centre?

Goshes is further away from Lexus than Edwin Flack (where they trained for the past two years; under redevelopment). On the corner of Swan St and Punt Road, can't miss it.

 

[Jabso]

Is is a long walk from Richmond station? Wouldn't jollymont be closer?

Fellas let me get this right . When I come down to Melbourne we go for a walk over the hill from where we stay down to the MCG and around it and cross to the Lexus Centre , Edwin Flack is next to where the Storm play ? So is Goschs' paddock further down that road ?
I wont be down until April or so will the Pies be back at Edwin Flack by then ?

 

[Jabso]

I don't think they will. It's a very short walk. If you are walking from the yarra to lexus centre it goes
1. Lexus Centre/VIS
2. Olympic Park
3. Flack/Bob Rose oval
4. some medical centre
5. gosches paddock

thats pretty much it, its ont he corner of punt road and swan st.

 

[nick_savo]

Sorry i'm confused, do collingwood train at 3 different places?

 

[jimmy35]

Thanks jabs , I've been to the others but not Goschs' .

Nice of Mr Gosch to let us train there for a while .

No chance. Two minutes (traffic lights pending) from Richmond.

Goshes Paddock can be seen as you drive along Punt Road.

Just Goshes and Lexus in the gym. We trained at the old Edwin Flack for 04-05-06.

 

[nick_savo]

To get to Goshes Paddock, what station would i get off, Richmond?

 

[borgy]

That or Flinders, both about the same distance i would say.

 

[Johnson#26]

Um, Borgy, no it's not.

Flinders St is miles away in comparison. Get off at Richmond.

 

[nick_savo]

Sorry if im being annoying but can somebody please give me directions from Richmond station to Gosch's Paddock
Thanks in advance

That's fine:

Richmond station.
Walk to the Swan Street exit.

Turn right onto Swan St down the steps.

Walk along Swan Street in the city direction, stop at the lights.

Cross one way, and then the other to get diagonally opposite to Richmond Station.

Goshes Paddock is here. Lush, green oval in amongst a leafy paddock.

Any time.

 

[nick_savo]

Does the training go for 2 hours?

 

[Johnson#26]

Depends. Generally 1.5-2.5 hrs.

Do the pies do many weekend end training sessions, I am back at school now so I can't get down there during the week
