So the question is where will he surface next year?

I doubt it will be with us now we have Neil Craig but he could be a good fit with a club that has finals aspirations like Carlton; wouldn't he like to stick it to Edie and Buckley.

On the other hand he may settle for a spot at Richmond, his old club, or at the Saints, his other old club. Maybe a role in the media for 12 months to test the waters then back in to coaching again.

    Great for footy, especially great for the MFC. I would have been devastated had this hack come to Melboune. His success was a result of his 'line' coaches, which were finally premiership quality after his 11 years at the helm. M&M did Nothing!

    Neeld is one of the main reasons Collin#$*d had success. Now we have him and I am delighted. He was not a part of the Collin@#$% disintegration.

    I always said M&M was not woth a sh_t.

    I am delighted that Geelong won the Flag.

    Any chance you could show a man who has ended his 40 year career a little respect.

    If he is lost to the game I personally think the game is worse for it.

    I hope he can return revitalised in some form

    Couldn't agree more. Malthouse was all class until the end. hope to see gym back, but will be great in the media. Heard him on SEN sometimes, great insights. Well done Mick!

    There's no need to sound so bitter.

    Saying he did nothing shows how little you understand management these days.

    Head Coaches these days are like Managing Directors in the business world.

    It would seem one of his leading protege's Mark Neeld believs in much the same thing.

    I hope you don't start slagging him off like that, when something goes wrong, or is not to your "liking" ?

    No sympathy at all for Malthouse or Collingwood .

    Suffer in yer Jocks you filth!

    Again!

    HA.

    Given the number of people around here who were demanding that we do everything and then some to get Malthouse to Melbourne, some surprising reactions. For mine, I love the Dees, and after that, hard to work up much passion either way re any of the other clubs.

    For Malthouse, does seem that his time is up, in the same way Thompson's was at Geelong. All change. 2012 already looks interesting - and impossible to predict.

  • Quote

    I hope he Goes to the Saints. They're lost in the wilderness.

    I can see the possibility of him ending up at Tiges, Saints or Blues.

    I really hope he goes to the Saints. They desperately need straightening out, and a Major culture shift.

    3 Years to fix the List, and 5 Years to fix the culture.

    Not bitter, factual! And you've never managed s__t.

    BangkonkDemon, one day you'll support the MFC. If you want to run after M&M, then do it. Support the filth!

    No need to be abusive.

    I think I've supported - as in being a paid up member for much longer than you - try 50 years.

    I've been through the best (and much of the worst) and believe, we will go through the best again in the next couple of years.

    As for my "knowledge" on management...I think I know what I'm talking about here too.

  • Quote

    Right decision for all involved. It would have been easy for Mick to sit there and collect top coin in a director role, but it clearly isn't him, and he has been honest enough with himself and the club to leave.

    No one can knock his record..........3 flags, and 3 other GF appearances is a fine effort.

    Can't say I'm unhappy he missed out on a 4th though!

    Firstly, I commend you for 50 years of paid up membership. Secondly, I think I'm in love with you for this. Thirdly, you still could not manage sh__t. Fact is, M&M is gone, and hopefully never to MFC. I'm over the moon with Neeld's appointment!.

    Okay, we're friends again.

    I was there in '64 - front row.

    But I you should be careful what you say about my management credentials - like you, I use a pseudonym.

    So, for all you know, I could be Bill Gates or Richard Branson (or an Australian/Victorian equivalent) ...Go Dees 2012 and beyond!!

    Sat with some "inner sanctum" Filth supporters today. They said that, in their ideal world, with Malthouse leaving, their first pick would have been for Neeld to take over, not Buckley. They say Buckley has not won over the players.

    Fairly widely rumoured around the time Neeld was appointed as well. Maybe Eddie has backed the wrong horse.

    Indeed, 'Bill'. I wish I was there with you in '64, I would have been 10, but I would have come in my MFC gear.

    You'd better get your MFC gear ready then.

    We're in for a hell of a ride in the next few years!

    Go Dees!!!

    I would also be delighted if the 'Buckley' thing did not work out.

    This would povide me with more posts to greive High Tower (H_T), whom is evidently a Collingwood supporter, given the crap he loads on me regarding M&M.

    If the tigers dont start off too well next year the drums will start beating for M&M. Hardwick has one year left on his contract and Mick said he still feels like a tiger at heart.

    Looked absolutely exhausted today - I think he's finished.

    He'll be good on a footy panel somewhere.

    Perhaps he can replace Paul Roos on the couch, or Grant Thomas on footy classified.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
