Mick Malthouse on the Dees

I stopped reading after this

"WE PUT six burning questions to premiership coach Mick Malthouse about the recent on-field and off-field issues that have slowed Melbourne’s run at the finals"

Slowed our run at the finals lol, we lost 1 game after 3 six day breaks and injuries to some of our best players, on field and off field issues has nothing to do with it 

 

Mick,

mick who?

who can see the opening at Pieland

Mick would trade Hogan, Trac, Jones, Clary and Viney for picks 75 through to 80.

As certain as day follows night. 


We have been hit harder than any club for injuries and schedule in the past month yet people have jumped off us like we were the 2016 Dockers!

Ffs, no club can lose 6 of their top 10 and be expected to win games. This off field nonsense is all media hype! It doesn't really exist.

i pretty much agree with everything that he said, and tbh honest it sounds remarkably similar to goodwin:

Finals football — outside of talent — will be won by the team that has focus, concentration and discipline for a full match.

This is not a competition in which you can pick and choose.

Yeah ... for Daisy!!

Thanks for Jeff

Listening to Mick on radio now days, I feel his decline has been rapid. Some blokes can go on coaching for a long time but age catches up with all of us. 

In Micks case, while still young in life terms the game really passed him by quickly. 


Is is actually a decent article, I must admit I wasn't expecting much but it was pretty good.

Win today, we go fourth and the footy world love us again, lose today we go 9th and cop a barrage.

Good teams beat weaker teams even with injuries like we have. Are we good enough to concentrate for four quarters...

It's a decent article and is probably reasonably accurate.

Whenever I see the name Mick Malthouse though, I always think 'thanks for Jeffy' - he's simply the best present this club has had in a very long time.

It's funny how quickly the medias view on teams can change. After the Egales game we were flag favourets, the next week after one weekend of a lost, suspension and drinking ban we are off the rails. 

Mick for all his faults is still an astute football judge.

I like listening to his expert comments on radio, he speaks his mind and has some good observations.

I think the TV guys speak their ratings and it's why Mick hasn't got a telly gig. Wouldn't lower himself to that level.

Not a Malthouse fan, but he is right on the money here with every comment. 3 Time premiership coach and it shows with these insights!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
