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.

Lets see how things develop.

Medical opinion from known and also with the same injury Lisfranc...back twinges, hip twinges, hamstring, knee injuries. Not good. Retirement causing in my opinion. But he's only young and the club have to try to prove to Fans the investment was worth it. And it was. At the time. No one could predict that this was going to happen...

Lets hope all the delays and careful management gets him through and he can play 22 games in a row..

well if he doesnt play,perhaps he can upload pictures from training and improve demonland with them.

thats just a snapshot of what he could do.
 

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.

Lets see how things develop.

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.


Champ, I find your comments offensive.

Clark is desperate to return, and is doing anything and everything he is asked. His only desire is to return to senior football. His photography hobby is good therapy through these difficult times.

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 am only looking at the bigger picture.

Third time? Do you mean the Lisfranc? He's only had that happen once has he not? (3 question marks?)

What else is he meant to do he hasn't played for nearly 2 years life after footy to him is probably a lot closer than he thought it would be.

And I can speak from experience to say that despite it's bite, the photography bug does not interfere with my regular work. He is a talented photographer and why shouldn't he have a passion outside his football?

The fact that Mitch was running laps on Tuesday when there was no scheduled training (and that, no doubt, was not unusual for him) as well as the fact he is there training on scheduled days and no doubt doing plenty of gym work, I think tends to refute your ridiculous assertions.

You need to focus on his training and attempts to recover.

You have been in a dark room too long.

Mitch will not be a "flash" in the pan.

. Please stop

Mitch will not be a "flash" in the pan.

He has a "roll" to play and we have been given a 'snapshot' of what he is capable of. and if it all 'clicks' we can 'develop' a decent forward line. He can 'expose' a weakness is an opposition backline.

So long as he doesn't 'Nikon' to the footy field prematurely and re-injure himself.

nice post dennis commeti .

Ffs.

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

What about buddy and his clothes range? Nick riewoldt as well... What about the players studying courses at uni?

You mean they spend 70 hours a week at a footy club and that's not enough with various meetings, trainings and discussions? Pretty poor opinion that players can't have an interest outside of footy, be that photography or anything.

I'm all for players planning for life after football. But saying Mitch is planning to be out of football now is ridiculous. Haven't you read that he has been running the tan at a good pace. Me thinks he is training to be a footballer first

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
