Mick Malthouse "Demons Culture"



Recommended Posts

Mick’s a dinosaur whose views have little credibility in this day and age. However, he does have a few valid points in this article. After a couple of our top liners, it falls away really quickly. He’s also right about Steven May, too. His inability to admit fault also is running riot at the moment without Lever there. He just points and blames other defenders even though we’ve seen him give half arsed efforts when led to the ball, and only likes it when the ball comes in long. He’s no where near the player of the last few years and his attitude is the epitome of the group at the moment. No willingness to do the hard yards and quick to pass the buck.

If you’re going to question my intelligence try not to misspell 2 out of your first 6 words but hey. 

The connection, which was quite clear, is that you were accusing others of not addressing Malthouse’s points and instead mocking him, and when someone else made another quite clear point about Malthouse making up stories to fit the facts you chose to mock them rather than address the point. Simples when you think about it. 

What part has Malthouse “made up” Malthouse is not writing this piece as a Journalist. He is a Past Premiership Player and Premiership Coach. 
Yes he sounds like Oscar the Grouch, but that doesn’t mean he is ignorant to what is going down. He has been in the Positions and prospered. 
does that mean he knows 100% what’s going on?

No it doesn’t. But he would have a fair idea. Pert was his CEO for a number of Seasons

Pert took a big Gamble talking to Garry, a Past Captain. I know why he did it, but it has backfired, potentially very badly. 
Pert was hoping to sort it all out internally, but the Footy Department has not been able to perform to the level. 
You must also remember that not all of the readers of Malthouse article know what is going on at MFC 

It’s a Western Australian readership. 
 

Garry was potted by many for not believing. He was concerned like many of us

Yer and Gaz was right on the money! We need a HUGE cleanout from the Pres to the coach! Faith totally lost

Thanks Mick for rehashing all the greatest hits. Zero insight, just getting on the bandwagon..

See above. He’s added zero, just recycled and said here is why Melbourne is bad now and he’s pretending the signs were there all along despite picking us to finish 5th when all those same signs were apparently there. 

Convenient and on trend yes, insightful no. 

also “he’s not writing this as a journalist”? He’s paid to pump out columns and that’s what he’s doing, it’s not a charity gig.

If North rip us apart next week it will be the start of big change, imo. Might take a couple of years to implement 

There are kids waiting to play at Casey….

I repeat. He is not a Journalist. He is writing as a Past Player and Coach.

I do get it. There’s a lot of people on here scared that we’re falling back to the dark times of winning twice a year and racking up wooden spoons and they’re coping with that fear by getting in first and weeping and moaning about how it’s all falling apart so they can psychologically protect themselves if it does come true, and also pat themselves on the back and say they called it before anyone else, and called it harder than anyone else.

It’s fine, do what you need to do. But stop lapping up every half arsed article knocked out in their sleep by journos and ex-players and ex-coaches and whatnot as if it’s wisdom from the gods. We’re not playing well, no [censored]. We’ve got some issues off field, no [censored]. Good clubs work through those issues and tough times and make changes and get better. [censored] clubs panic and sack everyone and set the whole place on fire. We’ve previously been the latter, I think it’s time we were the former - but some on here want the flames cos then they don’t have to fear being disappointed.

Another poster who doesn’t get it, huh? So far that’s at least two of us today. 

People who aren’t able to see someone else’s point of view will repeat themselves over and over again, then when they’re eventually called out on their stubbornness and unwillingness to listen, tend to play the ‘you don’t get it’ card. You do it all the time. You’re a bitter, vindictive know-it-all and it’s a shame your small band of cohorts are the ‘loudest’ on DL.

 I will call you out on it Every. Single. Time.

It depends how long you allow a timeline to be. I am not disputing what you have said here. I question whether we are working through the problems in a cohesive way. They have been around for quite a while.

No, I don’t. Am I not entitled to my opinion? Garry Lyon has looked upon us with disdain for a long time. I used to think he was trying to appear impartial, and unwittingly over-correcting. But now I think he’d sooner distance himself from us. IN MY VERY [censored] HUMBLE OPINION.

I rate Gazz opinion VERY HIGHLY. WCW. maybe you should invite him to a cheer squad banner making evening so that he can see and understand the intrinsic understandings of a true believer!!

What have i said that you ACTUALLY disagree with?

You may not like it, but i don’t lie when i post.

Did you agree with Pert, when he told Garry on air “That the MFC Culture was the best he had ever seen in 40 years?”

Agree. I thought last Monday was one of May's worst games in a while and he has escaped a bit of scrutiny. If it wasn't his utterly limp effort on Hoskin-Elliott on the stroke of half time or the brilliant contested mark in the 3rd quarter which he proceeded to handball straight into Jack Crisp a metre away and cost us a goal then it was the pointing around and arguing with others. Quite often he was getting sucked up the ground too much as well, maybe by design in the absence of Lever but it often left 2v1 situations on for someone like Rivers or Howes to deal with.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.
