Gone.

cheers mate , well done , love the pics as i think we all do here , keep it up , , ta

 

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.

Mate awesome photos. You been hanging around Mitch Clark in your spare time haha

 

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?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
