Malthouse posturing

[clivenator26]

I thought Mick had lost the plot, now I know. Someone lock the guy up.

 

[Brock Lesnar]

This man is the definition of an egomaniac.

 

[maxmustard]

At first glance on phone I thought OP title said 'Malthouse Prostitute' - that would have been some thread. Probably got as much chance of that happening as him coaching Adelaide.

 

[PP34]

Give me a spell.

Him commenting on a coaching vacancy has no impact on those wanting to remember Walsh.

Have to move on.

 

[mcgarnacle]

C7 would see to it that Adelaide are guaranteed 6 games on Friday night.

*Carrot dangling*

and besides, Malthouse and the Crows can swap stories about the type of knife Trigg used to back stab each of them.

Mick struggling to let go, it seems. But rather than getting another head job (sfellow), I think he'd be better off looking for a role at a club where he can make a contribution without being the face of the team. He certainly has a lot to offer with his experience, but if you take him on a head coach he will instantly be under the pump with "how long can he last" speculation unless he can deliver instant results, which he is unlikely to do.

 

[TW Sherrin]

Hilarious. He is an egotistical maniac. He might also be a greedy prick.

Like grandpa Simpson he keeps popping up.

As if Mick could cope with not being the 'face' of the team.

Maybe Mick could go for some sort of director of coaching role to a new coach. Possibly a favorite son of a club who could learn off Mick in their first few years of coaching.

Wait....

 

[Bunk Moreland]

lol wtf could your club possibly teach us about choosing coaches.

What, you think a bigfooty poster appointed the Essendon coaching panel?

This.

Mick just needs to move on.

Get a hobby....stamp collecting, Lego building, dwarf tossing....anything, just stay out of the footy industry.

It's almost like a coach has the support of a board which is elected by members at an AGM or something

Unlike press red for Ed or FIGJAM I suppose.

It's evident that Mick isn't coping with life post-football! He'd been involved in the game since 1972 in a playing and coaching capacity so things have changed for him drastically.

In 2012 he was coping without a job because he had a role in the media but most importantly in his mind he always knew he wanted to coach elsewhere despite pledging he could "never coach against [his] boys" so the idea of post-football never arose in his mind.

I honestly think Adelaide won't look at him due to his age, the mess that has been created with his last three clubs (especially towards the end) and the fact that his coaching philosophies are out of date with the modern game. He was a great coach in his day but time has moved on now.

I suspect that Mick made these comments as a defence mechanism to the fact that he's not coping with life post-football! Maybe I'm overanalysing it but surely he's not silly enough to believe he'll coach again or is he?

 

[Thats Wright]

Reminds me of a slug. Can't stand this bloke for some reason.

What a joke they have a round table tonight on fox footy that features him discussing the state of the game.

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Can someone tell us exactly what he said?

This is amazing. I thought when he was axed, in the subsequent interview he could not have been more emphatic, along the lines of 'That's it. I'm done...never again.'

Now, in literally the first possible coaching position that has come up since he's been sacked, he's throwing his name out there? Unbelievable.

 

[pinot]

The my way or highway attitude he has does not work.

 

[Adz]

The Crows have a history of older coaches; Walsh, Craig, Blight, Cornes.

Mick the perfect fit.

huh? stick to freo where you might a clue what you are talking about. you have no idea on this topic.

 

[Gavin Excell]

I would have thought he'd had his papers stamped. Be staggered any club take him on

 

[Boppo]

I would have a good look at him if i were in charge. Crazier things have happened. Go back 24 months and everyone would have said we were crazy if we didnt take him. Hopefully everyone mocking him doesnt scare him off.

You are crazy. He is a loon and way too much into his own celebrity. Players would not get on board, fans would be seething.

 

[RisingPhoenix]

Why would you do it?

On top of the irrelevance, the obsclescence....after the circus his exit from his last two clubs has turned into, why the hell would anyone risk it?

Seriously?

The guy is an embarrassment, and that he is now leveraging the phil walsh tragedy too stay 'in the game'....just pathetic.

 

[Play by Numbers]

As said on AFL 360, Gerard Whateley has more chance of getting the senior coaching role at Adelaide.

By that pos Robbo. Gee he enjoys sticking the boot in for someone who melts at even jibes.

 

[Vicky Park]

Mick needs to just walk away. Coaching is a stressful job and this is something he doesn't need. Still very respected and admired figure so no need to seek this vacancy

I've missed this bit. Would have thought the opposite.
