"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!

MM: "Putting yourself in a position to contest a mystery ball"

- what is a 'mystery ball' exactly?

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
