    Michael Malthouse- a terrific Collingwood man

    When he was at St. Kilda, Richmond, Footscray and West Coast was he truly one of them as well? He spent as long at WCE and won 2 flags as he has been at Collingwood. Malthouse made a decision for Malthouse. Nothing wrong with that but let’s not canonise him for it. He probably respects...

    What if the wheels fall off for MM

    Yes he is to a point. Nevertheless your club wanted to include him in their process, North wanted to appoint him without a process and Collingwood gave him a job to prevent anyone else getting him and so that they could secure him. 100% of clubs in need of a coach plus the club he has spent...

    What if the wheels fall off for MM

    When?

    Dayne Beams on 3aw

    When? That may well all be 100% true. It is also true that his contract expires at the end of 2010 and GC can offer him a bucket load with impunity from the price of error. You probably didn’t expect Nick Davis to leave after he said he’d stay. You probably didn’t expect Pail Williams to...

    If Richmond were smart...

    Well it is a process. Nothing in the universe to suggest it is the proper process though.

    Father Son rule is a Joke- Worse then Tanking

    Yes. His father played for North so he should have been able to choose North. But he isn’t the same - his father played for a club. That’s why he was a father son candidate to begin with. His father didn’t even play for Brisbane. That’s why he didn’t go there. Look the Murphy example...

    Collingwood & Lexus: Is The Honeymoon Over?

    What do you base that on? The only think that has changed in recent years is Eddie has left The Footy Show. Given it was crap and no one watched it, I don’t see how that would make much difference even if it added a heck of a lot to the total package. Collingwood’s exposure doesn’t just...

    Buckley a Magpie - official *MB Thread*

    Re: Buckley a Magpie - official He won’t get no $1m from the president but yeh he might get a good payout from the Buckley coach sponsorship deal funds. It’s not really relevant though is it? As I said yet to be defined. I would imagine it is going to be mostly about directing or coaching the...

    Dayne Beams on 3aw

    How about it is home, his family is there and they can offer $1m to a 20 year old. They have no cap. If they fill what they have they will get an extension crying difficulty in signing players and the need to keep their early draftees. If they run out of money they get more from the AFL...

    Dayne Beams on 3aw

    Look, none of us know whether he loves his former home and what the family issues are. He may want to return home, he may love Melbourne, he may be smart or have a smart manager who knows the GC will add to his next contract no matter who it is with. Collingwood should make sure he enjoys...

    Buckley a Magpie - official *MB Thread*

    Re: Buckley a Magpie - official Doesn’t sound like it to me. I don’t get this argument, common as it appears to be. If you can learn everything there is from someone about coaching by playing under them then Buckley has the accumulated knowledge of premiership coaches Malthouse, Mathews, Walls...

    If Richmond were smart...

    If Richmond were smart they wouldn’t be in the desperate position they are now in. They haven’t been smart since Tom Hafey left and the Richmond/Wilson team ran out of puff. As for offering MM a 5 year term, he already has that and it isn’t at Richmond. They have to offer something pretty...

    Press Conference 11am

    If that glorious event happens then we will be faced with the choice of renegotiating the deal to give MM more time in the coaching role or sticking with the plan but 2 flags buys MM the right make the call according to his drum beat. If that means we lose Buckley then sobeit. It is the...

    Father Son rule is a Joke- Worse then Tanking

    I don’t think there should be any price – in order to encourage more use. In fact it should be a spot outside the list cap number. Ben Reid should be at The Dogs and Picken should be at Collingwood. Murphy should have been able to select North who he barracked for and who his old man played...

    Collingwood & Lexus: Is The Honeymoon Over?

    I would have thought the announcement would be done with fanfare AFTER Lexus exit so as not to stomp on them and AFTER the replacement is in place so as to give them quality coverage. I would think that shows both integrity and commercial acumen. I would have thought it was merely what would...
