Some measure of Mitch's commitment to his footy, and more generally the Club, will be whether or not he shows up tonight.

My money says he won't bother, preferring to post photos taken around his house (his latest subject) on Twitter.

Six weeks to recover from a 'hammy twinge' - you're kidding aren't ya?

Are you saying he's pretending to not recover from a twinge so he can concentrate on his photos for a few weeks? Ha.

I don't doubt that your source truly believes this, but it just doesn't sound likely to me. Compared to footy, the money in photography is a pittance. And the good thing about having a passion for photography is that's an any time, any place thing - there's room in your life for a career *and* a photography addiction.

He has rocks in his head if he throws away his footy career for the camera. Even if he does want to make a career out of it, he would surely prefer to earn several hundred thousand a year for a few more years to get himself further ahead financially first.

He will never be on several hundred thousand a year when this contract expires and he would be aware of that, he's going to have to take a massive pay cut, don't be surprised if heads back to Perth when he takes offence to what the club offers him .

It will depend on June to August 2014 and 2015.

He will need some very big games in that period to gain a good contract beyond 2015.

Right now there is not another AFL club that would be interested in him.

Miracles do happened but not very often.

It's been fairly well documented that Mitch 'sings from a different hymn book' than your average AFL player.

What I'm on about is the fact that Mitch's passion for photography has overtaken his enthusiasm for footy. It's got nothing to do with how much money he can make from one profession or the other.

He'll be on good money for the next 3 years whether or not he even steps on the ground.

If you follow https://twitter.com/MitchClark11 there's sweet FA about the football side of his life in comparison with his photography.

There's a good reason for that. He hasn't been playing...

In the absence of definitive evidence, conjectures are supported by emotional escalation and the formation mutually hostile groups for which the chosen conjecture(s) are a talisman of membership. Initially 'soft' differentiation between groups is reinforced over time as hostility leads each group to disagree with members of the other on any available subject of conjecture, eventually leading to an irreconcilable division between the groups and a commitment to the declared conjectures even in cases where new and decisive evidence becomes available.

Welcome to Demonland; origin of the 21st century conflict known as "The cult wars of Mitch Clark and his foot".

Can we call the breakaway "Mitch's foot is stuffed, go Pederson" faction the "PodiPedo Peddlers"?

God forbid a player have an outside interest...

Nathan Jones has his own website and surfs a sh!teload, but because he is playing at near AA level - he can have a hobby and a distraction...

Demonland loves going into meltdown, but unless you are M_9 how do you know it was tongue in cheek? Does chookrat=M_9?

No sane person would conclude that MC will hang up his footy boots because he spends more time posting online about his photography than he does footy, therefore I concluded it must be tongue in cheek.

Am I reading this all correctly, have people actually lost their minds?!?!?!? Why is there two pages about Mitch wanting to leave footy for photography when some guy says he has a "source"? I'm out...

It would be funny if it weren't so worrying. I don't think I've seen a better example on Demonland before of the pathology that can be whipped up from pure inane speculation.

Are you saying he's pretending to not recover from a twinge so he can concentrate on his photos for a few weeks? Ha.

He's very recently bought a 35mm Leica (an M3 I think) and has moved to old school silver halide film instead of digital.

As well he has expressed an interest in processing the film himself and also printing.

I can well understand how he may have less time for footy.

The photography does seem for the moment to be an all-abiding passion.

OMG he wants to learn about wet-plate photography. He's left out the Theory and Practice of Using a View Camera.

At least he'll struggle to find anyone in Melb with any interest in wet-plate education.

The View Camera is another matter.

Fair enough chookrat. I must sharpen my joke antennae. But I haven't seen M_9 post anything subsequently that indicates he meant it tongue in cheek. I wonder if he really believes it or is he just maintaining the joke.

Hang on a moment.... you said it was from a source... now it is from your perception of his Tweets?? Comedy gold.

Not to mention all of those other players who don't even have Twitter accounts... they have lost all interest in everything, poor souls!

Sue - no worries. I think that future generations will draw a link between mental illness in Demonland posters and their offspring and MFC's performance during the past 7 years. The impact of 186, its lead up and fallout will be found to have had wode reaching effects, the symptoms of which we are seeing now.

Hard to be passionate about something you haven't been allowed to do for 2 years.

Give him one good game and he'll be back hook line and sinker.

Just look at us supporters. One pre season win and it's all roses and champagne around here.

He was on fox tonight and said he is starting to ramp up his training again but didn't give a return date or round which is to be expected.

He also said he was having soft tissue injuries which he and the club thought might happen cause of the nature of his original injury.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
