If Collingwood don't make the finals with a better injury run than this year then I'd replace him if there was a suitable replacement. A lot also depends on how it appears the players play under him. IE do they look like they are playing for him or with real spirit.

What on Earth makes you think that? Eddie sacked a 300 game Collingwood legend and the only premiership captain since 1958.

Essendon Board.

I wouldn't sack Malthouse after 2005 irrespective of how we perform. He would deserve another shot. It would take a Hawthorn-like meltdown at the club for MM to leave at the end of next year.

By the end of 2006 he will have had enough time to have plenty of young players churn through the list. If not enough of them have made the grade then his head will be on the block.

Tenure always has to be linked to results.

He'll probably resign out of frustration with having to deal with the AFL head honcho's saving Ed the trouble of having to sack him.

Make that " almost irrespective of performance" - his recent success gives him at least two years grace, IMO
