Very disappointing finish to the year, however, as I have said all month, it has been a good year for the Magpies, and on the day the better team won. We finished 7-8 (??) and many predicted another bottom 4 finish.

Lets hope this gets rid of Malthouse. Its a wonder his heart stood up to all the stress.

I have always liked mick malthouse but maybe its time to let someone else have a crack at this coaching caper , it worries me watching mick getting upset in the coaches box that his health is going to be his downfall. Bluey mckenna and mick mcguane would be great.
Well you had a pretty poor day. For once our tall defenders beat their opponents convincingly but from quarter time on we just wanted the ball more than you and had the pace to outrun you. Griffen shrugged about 10 of your tackles and you didn't seem clever enough in the tigt situations that we managed to work our way out of. However, it seemed to be a day where you never really got going and there were positives such as Dale Thomas and Egan in flashes. You guys need a better runner than the likes of Licuria and O'bree pace wise as we outsprinted you easily today.

You know what shyts me more then todays loss?lethalselbow said:
So many people having a go at the likes of Shaw, Davis and Lonie.
Shw has pace, we lack pace, he also showed last year, before injury, he is capable of being a good wingman for this club.
Davis is ELECTRIFYING, he is the heart beat of a dead game, he will light it up and WIN games. We wouldnt nickname him 'Magic' for any other reason. LAY OFF.
Finally, Lonie. He has one of the best kicks in the club. He knows how to read plays well. His delivery is close to perfect. He is in the top 5 in the AFL for shots at goal on the run from 50. He isnt the only soft player in the AFL. Most people saw what Josh Hunt did, does that make him shyt? Id love Hunt at Collingwood, even if he was to do that again, not every player will be as hard as nuts! GET OVER IT! These 3 players are INTEGRAL to the success of Collingwood in the next 5-10 years.

Malthouse got smashed.
- Didn't know what to do with the Doggie forward line once Brad Johnson wasn't up there. Had no idea.
- Couldn't swing the midfield changes to any effect.
- Once forward setup plan A was done with there was no Plan B. Unless it was... and wait for it ... it's amazing... Buckley to full forward!! Wow! That will swing the game. Never see that coming. Malthouse is a genius!
Sure the game never comes down to just the coach, but he has to take some of the blame. Collingwood looked like they thought the game was going to fall in their lap. Spiritless. Heartless. Soft. Etc
Not calling for the axe to swing, but how far off is Micky McGuane from being senior coach material?
Its one of 2 or 3 names being mentioned but i believe MM has one more year. 2 or 3 of these names would have to be appointed to assistant coach next year before they get the top job IMO.jimmy_clement#8 said:

Your old man has no idea!!! Ill tell you why we lost today, first of all Speed is good but not most important as the media blow it up to be something it aint!!! When you play a team like the dogs and hesitate with the ball, you give them time to put numbers in their defence and FLOOD! and eventually after you stuff around with ball your kicking to a flooded fwd line, you turn the ball over and the dogs run it out....it happened over and over again all day!!!!!
LONG AND DIRECT FOOTY!
In what areas did we improve? We moved up the ladder a bit but we blamed injury for our ladder position. We had a much better run with injury but beyond that we did not improve anything. Thomas was the bright spot and Pendlebury showed promising flashes. Didak often looked like a gun. I’ll forgive his final at this point. He has delivered under pressure before. Fraser showed he is a classy player although very limited as a pure ruckman. They are literally the only positives I can take from the year.lihei said:
McGuane is an interesting one. As you suggest Murray, there are negatives. He could be a very good coach though. I have no idea, but I'd love to know how he has handled himself in the last few years.
