Interesting insight how Mick wouldhandle things at the Dees with off field issues, injuries and leadership.

    "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 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.

    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!

    - what is a 'mystery ball' exactly?

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
