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.

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.

' 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.

'He is getting along to the club and training in the gym and running laps on official training days and non training days.'

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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
