Ground facts
| Opened | unknown (Independently re-verified via direct WebFetch of Rugby League Project's own results page, which confirms both matches directly: 16 May 2015 (Melbourne beat South Sydney 38-26) and 25 July 2015 (Melbourne beat St George Illawarra 40-18), both National Youth Competition (NYC, the then under-20s feeder competition) fixtures rather than NRL first-grade matches. This corrects an initial research description of the fixtures as NRL pre-season trials.) |

Name history
Rugby league history
Gosch's Paddock is fundamentally an Australian rules football training and administration precinct in inner Melbourne, adjacent to the MCG and best known as Melbourne Football Club's home base. Melbourne Storm's National Youth Competition (under-20s) side used it for two home fixtures in 2015, an incidental rugby league use of a ground otherwise dedicated to AFL rather than any ongoing rugby league tenancy.
