Malthouse would be a mistake. Wrong personality for a very young developing group. Angry, small man, who denegrates people who don't see eye to eye with him. I think he's overrated. West Coast were the WA State team when he went their versus everyone else who were just Club teams. All he managed was two flags, it should have been 4 or 5. It's taken him 10yrs with the best facilities and limitless amounts of money to throw at the Football Dept and he's got one Premiership.

He has played off in 4 GF's though in that period with the Pies. Meeting the Lions during their peak was akin to us meeting the Bombers in 2000 so I think you're being a bit harsh on him.

Me too KiL.

He has changed quite a lot of the team since the Lions defeats and they are still a young team.

Still a lot on here hate him and if he walked on water tonight they would not acknowledge it.

Paving the way?

He (Barassi) and Jordan & the support coaches/selector team led through Dick Seddon Paved the Road, the Car Park, & the Professionalism @ the Club.

Not to mention Healey, Lyon, Wight, Stynes, Grinter, Tingay, GLovett, BLovett, SFebey, MFebey, Todd Viney, O'donnell, Connelly, O'Dwyer, DWilliams, BWilson, PMoore, DHughes, GYeates, etc, etc, etc...

And you & me.

It would be very unfair for malthouse to come in and claim a list that has been created for him after years of hard work and torment by others and enjoy the succeses.

I agree that it's doubtful, but I'm more interested in success than fairness.

Can't stand malthouse. Would rather lose without him than win with him.

Are you looking in a mirror.

I really can't see Mick coming over.

IF. and it's a BIG IF, he decides to leave the Pies prior to his 2 year role with the Pies expiring then to my way of thinking......

1. His heart lays with the Tigers not the Demons. If he's going to see his days out somewhere to me it would be in a role similar to that of Bomber Thompson at the Tigers assisting Hardwick. He has stated his heart lies at the Tigers (still), where he spent the bulk of his playing days and played in a premiership.

2. I just don't think we'd have the budget to bring him and his entourage over, either as head coach or Director/Assistant role to Bailey in a Thompson/Essendon type set up.

3. He's supposedly signed a 2 year contract with the Pies already. Seems to be a strong man of principle and word. Doubt he'd go back on that.

The only SLIM possible chance i see in a Mick/Melbourne partnership is a Thompson type role alongside or overseeing Bailey. However, he would have to be willing to accept something less than what he'd be getting at the Pies and probably alot less than Thompson, in order for us to accommodate him.

Does anyone here think he loves the Demons enough to do that in his twilight years?

Thats the only way I'd go for him, if it was as an temp move, to get his I,Tech & to mentor a Bailey/Viney arrangement.

I listen to KB most mornings too, and everytime I do I wonder why. Almost everything he says is Bull#$%^&.

In reagrd to MTM, I would Bailey another year. The Geelong experience showed me that it is as much about the playing group as the coach, and if you look at most premiership teams they have had the same coach for at least 4 or 5 yeasr before they achieve success. I would prefer to stick with Bailey than wait another 4 or 5 years for success. I think we are on track for success in 2013/14.

And an afterthought... There is one thing that this board has done very well, and it is managed communications very well. Cannot imagine that if the club is after Malthouse it would be leaked to the media by someone running into KB. They have managed stuff a lot better than that.

Now WAClark it is time to take a deep breath.

Get up from the computer, take a couple of Bex and have a good lie down.

Tomorrow is another day.

It cannot be that bad mate.

The sun will come up

Relax

Dont worry i want success mate , but i dont think we need mick malthouse to get it. I still beleive we are on the right track ATM.

KB reported that he ran into a prominent businessman last night at the soccer.

This businessman was also a very influential Dees supporter.

When quizzed by KB, the call was...'we've got too many other good players to worry about, BUT we're all about MTM.....'

When translated the acronym stands for MALTHOUSE TO MELBOURNE.

Interesting....the thought is that Malthouse will generate his own salary by the number of new members he would attract.

Thoughts?

Now I know why I dont listen to KB any more. Tell him to get back to Punt Road and spin some crap about them.

I wonder though- whom is leaking to the press re third party sponsors of players re Scully.?

Already in discussions with Carlton

Already in discussions with Carlton

Makes sense, look who the CEO is at Carlscum.

I wonder though- whom is leaking to the press re third party sponsors of players re Scully.?

True, although harder to keep third party sponsors quiet because it invovles reaching out to third parties! A contact with another coach would only require contact with the coach and the manager.

There's probably influential businessmen at Carlton and Hawthorn and maybe other clubs that are thinking of puting together the funds to lure Malthouse - it's still 90% likely he'll stay at Collingwood

I wonder though- whom is leaking to the press re third party sponsors of players re Scully.?

Why does anyone need to leak it?

It really doesn't take a genius to guess that's what would happen.

Even Mark Robinson could have figured it out.

If Malthouse is available, he's worth talking to, regardless of his idiosyncrasies! On another thread, Neeld and Sanderson were mentioned. Don't know much about Neeld, but Sanderson's pedigree makes him well worth considering.

Makes sense, look who the CEO is at Carlscum.

There's nothing I like about Carlton, but I respect their ruthfulness. Carlton are ruthless enough to turf Ratten even if he wins a final.

Now I know why I dont listen to KB any more. Tell him to get back to Punt Road and spin some crap about them.

Tell him to get back to Punt Road, there's lawns to Mow.

I cant see malthouse at carlton what so ever... Rattern has them in great shape for a good crack at the finals . It wont happen. Too many people want to see a conspiracy everywhere they look!

Absolutely. Even if they miss the top 4.

You obviously have a different view to those Carlton people who have sounded him out.

For entertainment. Treat SEN as a group of blokes sitting around talking footy. Most of it you won't agree with but you do want to join in and say your bit.

(hate his journo guests though!)
