    Lovely photos guys keep them up.

    Unfortunately that’s the last you’ll get from Liam, as we hit the road back to Sydney early on Wednesday morning.

    Thanks guys, great photos.  Correct me if I'm wrong but those players appear to be enjoying themselves....is this permissible?

    I don’t know how serious it was (if at all), but at one stage it got a bit willing between Salem and Jetta with them slinging each other around by their jumpers; Jetta’s yellow vest eventually being ripped off. Immediately after they stayed well clear of each other.

    Get him to sneak down to Swans or Giants and take some action shots. With his quality the local press might pick em up, as well as providing us Dlanders with some comparative physique development examples.

    Also on the trip back some chance to hone skills on some fairly modified environment. 

    A friend who is a local professional photographer has entertained me with some of the best photos of local footy. One shot the best I have ever seen, seven players in the contest (no photoshopping) with really sharp detail, all in focus etc, spectacular.

    He also shows many shots of birds in flight which are just as difficult to capture as sports shots he says.

    He has some magnificent shots of the high country devastated after fires. The contrast between the burnt out blackened trees against a scorched earth are really fantastic.

    He has always said it's a matter of being in the right place at the right time. It's not luck, it's research and always having his camera with him  and being alert to the surroundings and the circumstances.

    Thanks mate. We’re both into photography and for the most part do just as you’re suggesting. On this visit to Melbourne we drove down the Princes Highway via my brothers’ places and sister’s place in the Bermagui area (they were all evacuated at one point), passing through the burnt out villages of Mogo, Cobargo and Quaamar and from there to Melbourne we had to divert along the Snowy Mountains and Monaro Highways due to East Gippsland being closed off. The devastation in the Snowys National Park was truly horrific but made for some amazing photo studies. In all my years, I’ve never seen anything like it. We didn’t photograph much of the damage to people’s houses/personal property, as that felt uncomfortably voyeuristic.

    Thanks for your advice though... I will pass it on and thoroughly support your suggestions.

    Here’s a couple of my shots from the Snowys...

    I think Liam’s got a great eye for photography and am incredibly proud of what he’s already producing. I really did mean it when I said thanks for your advice and suggestions. Words of encouragement from yourself and others, are doing wonders for his self confidence; thanks so much.

    Happy to help .

    Let me know if your ever coming down Beechworth way. Plenty of available subject matter.

    A friend has an Airbnb property Lockwood cottage, which is very reasonably priced family accomodation.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
