Preview Next AFC Coach For 2016 & Beyond

[DD#23]

if Bassett was seriously turned down for fears of boring football I doubt they'd even bother getting Malthouse on the phone.

 

[Paladin]

I wouldn't say no to Malthouse. We have much more talent than Carlton and Malthouse could do a really good job with this group.

Give him 3 years with a 2 year option. Don't judge him on his Carlton days.

Oh god no. Neil Craig would be a better option.

 

[Bicks]

Mentioned multiple times over the last week on different radio stations here in Victoria that Carlton are keen to interview Mark Thompson and Don Pyke in their quest for their new coach possibly with Neil Craig as Coaching Director...

My two concerns are:

1) Is he a tactical dinosaur

2) What damage will he inevitably cause our brand

If we went looking for a solid assistant to then bring in it could work even better. Bassett might not be ready yet, but give him a few years under Mick and see what happens.

Of course, getting Malthouse to agree to that and then give up the reigns could be another thing entirely. Not sure if he'd be willing to take a back seat in a DOC role either. I don't think he should be dismissed, but I think it may be one of the trickier appointments.

My two concerns are:

1) Is he a tactical dinosaur

I don't know, that's what the interview process is for and to determine. If he is, he can fill that hole by hiring tactically sound assistant coaches to cover this area.

2) What damage will he inevitably cause our brand

How would he cause damage to the crows brand?

I think it's a win win; he will bring a massive media boost to our brand if he is sucessful. But saying that, any coach who doesn't win; ultimately brings negative attention to the brand when they lose.

 

[JimmyTheScoop]

I think, that unless a potential coach does not want to leave Melbourne, (bit sad if true), surely Adelaide would have more appeal than Carlton? Would their be any other head coaching jobs available at the end of the year?

Hurry up Roo!!

Would anyone seriously pick Carlton over us? They'd have to be a masochist.

Essendon, North Melb and Richmond (if they miss the finals from this point) could become available.

We wouldn't look at any of the 3.

Reckon he's past it. Don't want him. Players want to win and Malthouse was horrendous at Carlton.

It will either be Hird or their Chairman hitting the highway at year's end....and given the Chairman Paul Little is their single, largest "benefactor.....

Yeah, because Carlton have no good players. Ross Lyon couldn't help Carlton make the finials.

 

[King Elvis]

I think Carlton treated Mick terribly, and I like him - but not for us.

I don't think he'd be a good fit.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Carlton were horrendous for Malthouse.
That's why they're setting about rebuilding, they have nothing to work with.

But first they were confused what they even wanted to do, they thought they were good enough and led him down one path only to change their compass part way through.

People can't seriously judge him on Carlton, he has just a few runs on the board before that to know that he knows what he's doing.

 

[relapse]

Yeah, because Carlton have no good players. Ross Lyon couldn't help Carlton make the finials.

I agree, he inherited the mess that Ratten left him.

Can't wait for your meltdown when Ratten's amongst the final contenders for the job..

I look good in a onesie but that's an entirely different matter.

 

[relapse]

Can't wait for your meltdown when Ratten's amongst the final contenders for the job..

If he is one of the final contenders then I guess it will just speak volumes about the lack of quality alternative candidates.

 

[JimmyTheScoop]

We wouldn't look at any of the 3.

Yeah, I am not thinking that we would look at any of them, just scoping out potential competition for head coaches.

Due to the new anti-poaching agreement it looks like we will be tortured until October before any announcements about our coach!! God I hope we don't have to wait for a Coach and PD till then!!

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I love Mick Malthouse and am a huge fan of his but he's finished IMO. No one can just coach indefinitely no matter how good they once were.

Unless we already have our coach.

David Teague??

 

[fabs33]

What section of our team was Pyke responsible for when he was with us and what is his current role at West Coast?
