He's in the market apparently for a Contax 645 (medium format film - 2nd hand, only $3000-4000) and he is doing his own D&P.

Also he's offering limited-placement 3 hour tutorials for $300.

I'd rather he spent three hours in the gym earning a quid.

I can't believe you are posting on here when you could be working and earning a quid!

Now I am one of those people who go to work and work and then go home and do non work stuff like pursuing hobbies. Quite normal really.

This thread has degenerated into utter twaddle.

If it were just a hobby be wouldn't be trying to make money out of it..

Why?

The photography may have started out as a hobby but it has become much more than that. Selling prints, tutorials, a web-page (other than a Facebook Page), an escalating interest and investment in more and better equipment and so on. The Photography Bug can bite hard and I speak from experience.

I posted some time ago that the word I got was that his football had taken a back seat to his photography.

He reportedly approached the club to be the 'club photographer' (for payment.

Don't bank on seeing Mitch on the field any time soon. Motivation is the key issue, not fitness.

Jesus - can we please put the photograpghy thing to bed. It's a hobby get over it! would you rather him taking photos or out at night clubs. He is in the leadership group for a reason. Mitch is doing everything he can and if that turns out to not be enough (I think he will be fine) then I will still hold the door for him on his way out.

And where did you hear this? I call BS (again).

' Please PJ, i know that i'm on 450k a year but it would be swell if you could pay me say 3k to to the club cub reporter. It'd be outside the salary cap coz its not footy. I'm over footy actually, playing that its is - i'm super keen to take photos of other blokes playing footy. No PJ i'm not joking, i'm dead set serious'

I'll add to this.

I understand PJ that the club can't afford to pay 100% of the salary cap, and Chip is a Free Agent, but if you can pay me more to take some photos during training, I'll appreciate this. Forget the bigger picture, my photos are top notch.

Yes I know a club can't pay it's players outside the salary cap., but my photos are more important to the club and its members than Chip playing against the gorillas in the comp.

Seriously. Who would believe it??

He asked for $50k for the photographic work.

>6 weeks to get over a hammy twinge or whatever he or the club is stating is BS. It's where his head is at that's the problem.

50k? You do realise a club can't make payments to a player outside the salary cap yeah? Given the club can't afford to pay 100% of its cap and Chip will demand good money, your claim has to be wrong.

Your informant is off track to say the least.

Proof please... I still call BS on EVERY thing you have written above... He is getting along to the club and training in the gym and running laps on official training days and non training days. He photographs in his spare time and he is very good at it... so who cares if he wants to make a little on the side... but asking the club for $50K according to your completely unsubstantiated claim... BS!!

I doubt very much he has an informant.

How is this any different from the bucketloads of players who do stuff like buy a pub when they're playing?

This is most totally idiotic thread I've ever seen. On any forum.

As others have said, he has had a very serious, potentially career ending injury. The club is managing him conservatively to give him his best shot. He will return this season and this is when all the questions will be answered. This sort of injury will not reoccur in on the first week back, rather 3 - 8 weeks back. If he can stay on the field he is cured, if it reoccurs for a third time it is all over. Simply nothing more needs to said on this issue.

The Lisfranc in jury has not recurred once - the problem last year was the screw, not the injury. Now to is soft tissue injuries related to inactivity (relatively, I am sure he is and has been far more active than most of us here) and the use of new muscle groups / muscle retraining.

Nobody in the know has ever suggested a recurrence of the injury, nor failure to heal.

FFS the club is not paying him big money to train. We'll only see Mitch actually playing footy when and if he gets his head in the right place. End of story.

His problems are physical, not mental... the reasons have been explained numerous times by people who know more than me about recovery and certainly more than yourself.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year.
