Hearing in a few different places that Malthouse is not keen on carlton at all.

Does anyone dare entertain the thought that he might be on our radar come seasons end?

Got the Noose around Dean Bailey's neck already have we??

Just asking the question mate? for what its worth, im a dean Bailey fan, but would be derelict if we didnt explore.

Considering the position of the MFC when Dean Bailey was unanimously voted in as coach, i think he has done a mighty job.

Coaching during 2008-2009 with the Handbrake on would be very difficult to do over a prolonged period of time.

I look forward to seeing what Bails can do now that the brakes are well and truly off.

Mick Malthouse coached at Wet Coke & the Filth with every possible financial extra given to him.

He is a good coach yes, but it took him a long time to get a Filth Grail.

Does Mick REALLY want to coach again at the Top Level??

I think Dean Bailey will do just fine for the next few years

It's an interesting suggestion, I think I'm still confident in Bailey though but, on the condition that we slump to the bottom again this season then I think he should definitely consider the man who wears his moustache proudly to come skipping through the gates of the Demonic realm.

You all have to be kidding, right? The next man to coach the Dees will be Paul Roos. Bookmark it.

Now this i take more notice of...Paul Roos is still a young man.

Let's see how Bean Dailey goes first though!

It will be Todd Viney, but I'm happy with Dean Bailey at the moment.

Also need to think how long Malthouse can coach for, will he want to coach for another 5 years? That may be how long it takes and I dont think he will want to go and develop another team rather step into a team which is close to the top. Either way I think it is pretty interesting how the Pies are doing it, I really hope they go like crap next year (even more than usual) when Buckley is in charge.

Take another look if you think it's a coincidence that Malthouse coaches teams that continue to get so much out of young players and tend to exceed expectations. If you genuinely thought Collingwood were going to dominate like they did in 2010 and have the potential to do over the next few years when assessing their list a few years ago you're lying.

There are no coincidences, only the illusion of coincidence.

Anyway, what has this got to do with Melbourne?

Ummhhh. What would he have in him, 2 Yrs, 3?

He wouldn't have 10 in him.

I fully support Bailey as he has a plan, whether its wrong or right he's clear in what he is working towards.

On Malthouse coaching, at WC he inherited a team of talent and made it professional, before he arrived WC were not better than a wafl club in the AFL.

At the pies, he took a very average group to 2 grand finals before crashing and rebuilding. He can get the best of the players ability out of them and thats what you want from a coach. Get all he can out of them.

He's also not sentimental, plays the players to win and doesn't play favourites.

Agreed, but he has been a coach for over 25 years, and a dam good one i might add-and a good bloke.

But his peak will probably be 2010-11 so i don't think he would be a great fit at MFC.

If 2011 is a bad year for the pies, well then maybe still his belly burns.

I believe that Mr Malthouse began his career overseeing a number of female data process operators in a Victorian public service department. This management style may work for the wobble people but I doubt that it would suit a fine club like Melbourne

Unless you're Leon Davis. He had to nearly lose them a grand final before he got dropped.

Interesting. Hadn't thought of Viney til now....:)

Father-son may be an issue.

Oh please get your head out of your posterior!

The guy has coached two different teams in two different eras to Premierships plus a number of grand final appearances.

He got an inferior side into two GF's against one of the best sides of the last 50 years and almost pinched one.

The guy can cut the mustard.

He is welcome any time at the MFC for mine.

This is crazy talk. We should be backing Bails in 110%

For the next 11 rounds then decision time arrives!

In the same way it does for a lrge number of the players every year.

    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
