Moved Thread Malthouse almost imploded with rage during interview.

[Scott Emberton]

Just listened to this on the sen app because of your post and holy shit Mick slaughtered him! That was brutal and Rohan folded quick smart haha

i had an image of Rohan crying. Mick dismissed him like a piece of trash

 

[Plugger35]

LOL... umpires...

God it's pathetic.

Anyone ever noticed that the top sides don't lose games due to umpiring?

Must be coincidence.

Ever notice how the top sides don't get screwed over by umpires?

 

[Xtreme]

Great interview, cant wait to see more

Understandable. Made some good points. Especially the Hawthorn Docs/Runners wearing dark colours. Surely they should get fined for that?

You forgot the emoticon so I know you're joking.

Where's the footage of the Malthouse sook.

What is the actual rule regarding this issue? I was at the game and it was clear as day the Carlton player kicked in the direction of the Hawks Doctor/Physio because he thought it was a teammate. Say what you want about vision, but when you have a split second to make a decision when under the pump kicking out of the backline, then you cannot say it was a poor kick/decision by the Carlton player.

Think about it, your team is in dark colours and opposition in light colours. You see a person in the distance with a dark top on and you kick to them.

I can understand why Malthouse would have been furious about it.

being at the game i thought we were away...then you see an unfit individual scamper away from the ball. its poor, anyone not playing should be wearing drag to make it obvious they arent a player.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Really juvenile from mick. Even when the umpiring is awful you have show some humility and leadership and focus on the things you CAN control instead of bitching over the things you can't.

The hawks definitely had things go our way, but some things skew the perception a lot.
Eg Mitchell's obvious throw, but hawks got a free because someone had just ridden Lakes head into the turf. That is correct umpiring but it looks like hawthorn got away with an obvious throw.

Also noted that carlton kept their feet a lot better than us, we were fortunate to receive a lot of frees from Carlton's incorrect tackling technique. That went our way.

Kicking the ball out on the full can skew the stat a bit too.

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Intentional or not, the Hawks doctor was leading to the fat side twice tonight, and twice the lead was honoured.
Even my Hawthorn mates noticed and lol'd.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

as much as I like seeing carlton lose, the umpiring in the second half was *questionable*

at the same time though, Carlton spent the 2nd halls appealing for frees rather then taking the game on
Plenty of chances to get a run, but we're too busy looking at umps

 

[Leather Poisoning]

I disagree, Carlton is twice the side under Mick it was under Ratten. They have a backbone.

All their losses have been by less than three goals. Against mostly top opposition. I think it's only doing his legacy favours the way he has transformed the team's gameplan and made them real contenders against all the bit clubs.

I appreciate the argument that Ratten had Carlton in finals before, but under Mick and the with the team experiencing another year under Mick's rule, I think they can be premiership contenders.

I think carlton has to claim a couple of top 8 scalps before they can claim improvement under mick. Tonight's performance was of similar output in effort that Carlton have shown against Geelong and Collingwood in seasons past.

I thought the umpires were excellent tonight and I am in no way biased for either side

If it was part of a plan by the hawks then that's disgraceful.

As for it happening at all - the guy in charge of setting the uniforms is an absolute dud. Why can't the doc wear Fluro green or orange like the runners?

My post has nothing to do with how well Carlton are travelling. It is entirely to do with how Mick is travelling. Really poor form on his behalf. Too caught up in his own legacy methinks...

 

[bluespooner]

Only the second time in Hawthorn's winning streak of 10 games against carlton that they been on the better side of the umpiring ledger. This included a number of real blow outs like 2005 carlton 22 free kicks for to Hawthorn's 11 and 2006 carlton 21 for to 12 against.

Five pages in and still no video?

 

[Selective Retention]

He ripped into Connolly in the per game when he brought up collingwood.

After the reaming they got in the game what do you expect from him!

 

[refresh]

Mick should be

 

[refresh]

Mick should be more concerned that once again his players fumbled and failed to withstand pressure when the game was on the line. Medicos and umpires are only a side issue to the real concern

Right.
Lets fine the hawks for their doctor or whoever wearing what the AFL would already know he was wearing.

Whilst I am here can i just add that there is nothing more glorious in footy than watching a p'd off Malthouse.
Schmarmy prick.

I was at the game and also saw it happen twice....pretty close to each other as well.

Also, on both occasions it was not clear who the doc was actually on the ground to assist.

Regarding the umpires, it thought there were a couple of shockers but now worse than most games....not that it is a glowing endorsement

 

[andypie]

On the Ch 7 coverage, Malthouse was being interviewed by Richo in the rooms. After a amiable chat for a few minutes, Malthouse stiffened and unleashed on the fact the Hawks doctor was in blue, implying it resulted in two wayward kicks leading to turnovers.

He was livid. Stared a hole through Richo and when Richo cut him off, e kept going. Then when they finally did wrap it up, Malthouse ignored Richo's thank you and walked off. Richo was visibly taken aback by how angry Malthouse was.

Does he have a point? I love Mick, absolute legend and I loved the passion. Called it straight and spot on as usual.

Could have been a bit nicer to Richo though, Richo's a bit of a softie.

He does have a point. Like the umpires colours, and then runners similar to the suns, surely this cant be a hard thing to get right.

 

[crazywildhorse]

Which is worse? Imploding or Exploding?

 

[Mervyn Beasley]

You don't have to be neutral, you just have to be sane to know this.

Yep got the rub of the green and won.
There has been a couple of games this year where we have had less than half the free kicks of our opposition. Guess what? We still won.

 

[Beerfish]

Which is worse? Imploding or Exploding?

Probably exploding if you're a bystander.. like Richo.

 

[SSSSSS]

Loving seeing Mick crack the sads. It's all about the process
