Take 8: Best of the rest - A new look at training Monday 14th

On Monday 14th December I ventured down to the paddock to record some images of the Dees training as I'm want to do from time to time and posted around 100 photographs of the Dees at work. To post the 100 pictures I take around 500 pictures and share what I consider to be a representative cover of the boys effort on the day.  You don't see every frame that I take.

I thought that because we are now in a bit of a hiatus with the cub shut down till next year that I would spend I bit of time exploring one of my passions (photography) examining the result of my afternoons work and sharing an extended  view of what I see at training covering one of my other passions (The Dees)..

I'll go through the full 500 shot gallery and pick selected shots and sequences over the next couple of weeks until the boys are back in town. You'll see shots you have already seen in the original post but they will be in context with other shots.

If you have no interest in this, have a lovely Christmas and I'll see you in the new year.

For all of the rest of you, the first small set is of the big Gawn. Two of the shots were in the original post.

    ... thanks SSSix.

     

    can you tell me who is that little pink pig in the white cap, running around like a porky in mud ?     & when will Watts get a 6pack?  still too much puppy on him.

     

    great shots. fun to watch.

    666 appreciate the shots as whenever I have attended training I have felt:

    1)  a bit self-conscious whipping out my android when so many have serious cameras clicking,

    2) conscious that there are some running around who I don't recognise.

    Would it be a massive impost over the off-season to caption some photos so we can familiarise ourselves with the new lads and lesser lights?

    Great pics 666.

    Maxy looks quite rabbinical!

    Thanks for the pics. Great work.

    Can we fix the typo in the title? traing. It makes my head hurt.

    I suspect that you are referring to Clayton Oliver.

    I cannot wait for Petracca to play for us next year. I reckon he'll have a very significant impact.

    For the first time in many years, im absolutely pumped about the upcoming season. Baby steps are over i reckon. By the end of next year the entire football world should have a new found respect for MFC.

    Thx for the shots 666.

    Three of them are in white caps, the one that looks like he is made of alabaster is CO.

    sorry S6S, your right there are many white caps,  so I see the one i'm talking about is COliver... now can you tell me the taller one, skinny kid, please?

     

    oliver looks as I would expect in close shot,  but smaller than expected other side of pack, when with the ball... I hope that makes him slippery around packs. ;)

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • 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?
