Unless we can offer Kirk a Visy sponsorship to poach him from Freo for the LOL's.

Where is the "dislike" button when I need it. !!

 

[Dramoth]

Let's get the whole commentary team! Richo for forwards, Harley in the back, Lingy in the middle, Lethal as chief assistant

Luke Darcy as far away as possible, Robert Walls in charge of deconstructive criticism and wild optimism, Bruce McAveney massage therapist, Dennis Commeti in charge of apt descriptions

Richo wouldnt be too bad really as the forwards coach.

TG you just blew all the saved cred you had...

 

[Blue and Silver]

First para are the guys who I think can coach. Second para is the joke

Lingy disagrees

Unless he just passed the lying test

He was very careful to say "won't be coaching Carlton" and not " won't be coaching at Carlton"

Not the guy I'd be turning to to fix our goal kicking issues

 

[Bradschi]

he said he'd like to get back into it, but looked down the camera and said he won't be coaching us next year. I hope he is a good liar

 

[Dramoth]

But he can work on things like ball drop and stuff like that... just bring him in as a consultant for Casboult for a few weeks.

He works in the media these days... of course he has passed the lying test

 

[T2B_]

So is Lingy lying or not I wonder.

Hope not

Or should that read hope so. Oops

 

[pepalenko]

Does anyone take that lie detector seriously?

 

[Sin City]

But he can work on things like ball drop and stuff like that... just bring him in as a consultant for Casboult for a few weeks.

Think I'd be looking at someone who could actually get those things right himself.

I'd be hiding those handcuffs too.

 

[Aphrodite]

Of course he won't be.

Mick will and Lingy will be one of his assistants.

 

[Silvagnis]

Why does everyone think Ling will be a great assistant coach?

Do you?

 

[pepalenko]

Anyone else hoping Malthouse can do to the Blues what Lyon has seemingly done to the Dockers?
Freo, same players, different team to last year.

Yeh there is no doubt lyon has made a difference, here's hoping!

 

[NumberEight]

I think he can. Watching games like tonight stings, we should be there!!!

 

[Blue_Joel]

First time, long time.

Does it bother anyone else that Malthouse hasn't been a bull at the gate about taking the job. All the time its been "I'll have to see if I want it", "I'll have to see how it will impact my family". The undertone being "the job is mine if I want it, but I haven't made up my mind yet".

And if/when he chooses yes (which we all know he will, or has already), he's said "I have other commitments in September/October...I want to go with my daughter on a book deal...I have a family holiday in December, etc. etc. etc."

This is bullsh!t. Why hasn't he come out & said "I am pumped and eager to be taking over at Carlton. They have a strong list and can be very competitive, very quickly. I can't wait to start. I had other commitments, but I've cancelled them all to jump into this full steam and put things in place as quick as I can. Coaches will change, players will change, our gameplan will change and the sooner I start the better. Not to mention draft and trade periods coming up very quickly and I want to know as much as I can about the club, players, etc. quickly to be able to make informed decisions here."

Dunno. To me it just all stinks a bit.
