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

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.

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

As certain as day follows night. 

He would def trade garlett. He has fiem in that regard

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 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?

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
