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?

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
