Doesn't sound like he is that keen

Matthews laughed off suggestions he would pursue the job and enter a 21st season as an AFL/VFL coach.

"No one's asked me and I'm not applying," he said.

"I've had my time as coach and I'm happy to live the rest of my life without the coaching cap on."

Sounds pretty definitive that he is not keen but until u ask him u never say never I suppose.

    I would say definitive would be like, "No, I'm not interested in coaching anymore", like someone who's retired might put it...

    that would be convincing... so until then, never say never !

    Too old.

    The game has passed him by.

    Malthouse was born in 1953... Matthews was born in 1952, so definitely too Old,,, old boy.

    Anyone whos anyone will be given a call and sounded out. For no other reason to say it was done. That and you cant always predict what reactions might be.

    That said I dont think Lethal has any passion for coaching now. He seems very settled into media. There's no risk there, just a nice cheque.

    In 2012, he said he was interested in the MFC position, but was not contact by the club. It was on 3AW for everyone to hear. I know Gerard Healy was surprized to hear that, as I think all the listeners were surprized. 1 big royal [censored]-up.

    Where did you source or hear him say he was "interested in the MFC position" Tone? Totally contradicts my memories of his responses during that period.

    He may not have been contacted by the club but i recall him being asked twice about the MFC coaching role prior to Neeld being appointed. When asked on the first footy show panel (Chanel 7 Sunday Footy) if he was interested i recall him throwing his head back and laughing "No no no".

    Then i think it was 3AW he was asked again about 5 days later (Friday night game i think), he said there's no way he would coach us "with the present imbeciles that were running the show there. There'd have to be an amazing change at the top" or something along those lines. The word imbeciles was definitely used. Usually not a sign of confidence in an organisation you might be considering joining.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
