Phil Maylin was suggested with some authority on the radio this morning as the last piece in the coaching puzzle. Someone rang up with a rumour on 5AA and seemed to be fairly confident with his prediction.

Any thoughts ?

Another mate of Reidy's apparantly. Therefore wouldn't suprise.

Don't know too much about him to be honest.

Was a gret Woodville FC player before heading to Carlton to play and coach.

Has always been very well respected by Vic sides - always heavily involved in our State of Origin sides.
I for one would prefer him to Rhode or Frawley
 
He was assistant to Terry Wallace at the Bulldogs, wasn't he?

I'm not a 100 percent sure on that but I do remember Graham Cornes talking him up a few years ago.

Anyone but Rohde or Frawley.

Theyre very, very, very damaged goods.

yep - assistant at the Bulldogs............even Cornsey being on board wouldn't spoil it for me ! :p
 
As I posted on another thread earlier today.

"A caller on 5AA's rumour file this a.m. was adamant that the 3rd assistant coach yet to be announced will be Phil Maylin, a feisty wingman firstly with Woodville and then as a duel premiership player with Carlton.

On the coaching front he was an assistant coach to Wallace at the Bulldogs, before becoming senior coach of Eltham in the Diamond Valley League in Victoria for the past 2 years.

He certainly wouldn't be a bad choice if the caller proves to be correct. He always had a bit of sh*t in him as a player, and as a footy club we could do with a bit of that added into our playing culture.

Interesting."

He certainly comes across as having more appeal than either Rhodes or Frawley, who both have losing culture ingrained in them by now.

Agreed - Phil was one of those players in the Platten / Sticks / early Bradley years that really came back and held our S of O side together when we had mainly SANFL players with half a dozen VFL players.
He knows what it takes to win - has been an asistant coach almost as long as Matty Rendell !! - and as you say - has a fair bit of mongrel in him.
he needs to be unleashed on a number of our squad over the PS
 
I'd prefer Maylin ahead of Frawley!! I think Maylin would be good for the mix we have already in place. Was an assistant at the Bullies when Wallace was there, and played in the 80's when Carlton were at there most arrogant and powerful, Something we need a bit on field!! We could do alot worse!!

I would be very happy with that appointment :)

I wouldn't say no to Phil Maylin either Stiffy, very good wingman who played the game as it should be played & has been around the club scene as an assistant coach for a number of years.

Would have liked our club to appoint as one of the ass coaches someone not to long out of the game & preferably from another club.

What ever happened to B Ratton when he finished playing ??

Was an assistant at Melbourne last year. Now going to coach in his own right in the minors somewhere.

As I briefly mentioned in another thread my Dad was a trainer at Melbourne last season. Ratten made their midfield last year. Green and Bruce, for example, really broke out of their shells largely because of Ratten's work.
Hopefully we'll be thanking him for the ground work already made on Thompson.
