Gee JR you are making me feel old.

I remember those times.

I actually have about $2000 worth of cameras and equipment that is almost worthless these days .

Used to develop my self etc.

Digitial is so much easier and so much cheaper.

However it does not make you a good photographer.

That still takes skill.

yes od i am hearing you , , it does teach you a lot about different things using the old film slr , and i still think about that now , but todays camera does it for you and it knows , lol , if you dont like the pic just plug into puter and fix it , hahahaha yeah i know that cheating a bit but results are what counts , but gimme digital any day , so much more you can do , your $2000 worth of camera gear is now worth zip , , what is it by the way ?

I always use my DSLR in manual mode because I want to feel that I am in control. The biggest difference between DSLR and older film SLRs is obviously the fact you get instant feedback and can take a shot again if you want (well, that doesn't apply to action shots) - when used in manual mode, that is a great teaching tool.

Kent is going to fit in nicely, a genuine goal kicking midfielder.

Hogan will be an absolute superstar.

He aint just a big forward.......have you seen how good he is below his knees. and how hard he works and runs

Great pics

and especially good to see the one on one contests

were we manning up better and not allowing loose man?

Looked like not too many times we were 2 to 1 in the air so no loose man and even in the packs we seemed to always have one in for the ball with the rest waiting for release. Seemed a defensive set up rather than man on man as such as often it appeared that the saints were on one side of the scrimmage and we were on the other??

I owe you a banana (see the T$ thread for clarification).

If you have any more snapshots of the team running out with the mascots, please let me know.

WJ.

I did have a couple more shots of the mascots running out. Unfortunately I was on the far side of the ground and had the focal length set at 70mm which means that I did not get any closeups. I have cropped them to get in a bit closer.

There was a photo journalist there who was in close who was taking pictures of the kids. (See the 3rd shot) The club may be able to put you in contact with him.

Here is a link to the cropped shots that I have. Not sure which of the little guys is your grandson. I'm betting the one with 31 on his back,

Send me a pm and I'll send you the originals and the cropped shots.

Done and he is the one with 31 on his back (his father wore that number playing in the ammos).

Cheers & thanks.

Where do I send the banana?

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
