No comeback, says Blight
By Julia Medew
March 19, 2005
Malcolm Blight yesterday denied he was considering a return to coaching, saying recent reports that it remained a possibility were untrue.
Responding to a Herald Sun report that said Blight had not ruled out a return to coaching, the retired premiership coach told SEN radio the claim was inaccurate.
When asked if the report was correct, Blight said: "It's not, sorry."
Blight said an interview with the Herald Sun had been set up to talk about his new role as a commentator with Channel Ten.
He thought the precede in the Herald Sun article - "Malcolm Blight has found paradise in far north Queensland, but the restless football legend refuses to rule out a return to coaching" - was "a bit over the top".
Blight said his statement that he would put a "toe in the water" this year referred to his return to commentary.
" 'I dip my toe in the water' was the commentating water, just to go back in and see what transpires, I suppose," he said.
Blight confirmed he had been approached by AFL clubs and that, as a coach approaching his fifth year of retirement, it had come as no surprise to him.
To all those people contemplating him coaching Freo.
