Herald Sun photographer Michael Klein shared the spotlight with high-flying Collingwood star Jamie Elliott at the MCG on Thursday after Elliott pulled in one of footy’s greatest marks.

“There’s Kleiny looking back through the catalogue,” commentator James Brayshaw remarked. “How good a shot of that did I get?”

“He hasn’t looked up for the best part of 40 seconds, so you imagine he’s got a few nice angles of it.”

Moments later the cameras were again on Klein with him on the phone to the boss.

“He was right in the pocket underneath it .. if you haven’t got it, I don’t know about your job,” the commentators joked.

Did he get it? You betcha.
