Richmond were a revolving door of administration and staff around the mid to late 90s, it’d be pretty hard to nail down but probably someone dating back to his time as a player I’d guess.

Caro?Just reading about Malthouse’s well deserved Hall of Fame entry, the article mentions he could have been the Tigers coach back in 1999 but there was someone at Richmond he couldn’t work with. That someone isn’t named, he ended up at Collingwood & that was that.
Who was at Richmond then that didn’t see eye to eye with him?
I've seen Doug publicly praise Malthouse (may have been on Open Mike?), said he was exactly what the club needed, brought in a level of professionalism that hadn't been seen before. He might not have been well liked, but the players obviously respected him, at least in the early years, to play to his instruction and get results. i.e win finals.Yeah. Years back I read Sir Douglas Hawkins' poignant autobiography Hawk Namure and he wasn't too enamoured with Mick's reign of evil at the club either. I must see if I still have it somewhere...
We were a shambles of a club back then it would have been the right decision
Yeah but I mean at least Collingwood appeared to have a good administration in place even though the team was crap. Richmond's administration prior to Gale arriving was a joke.That wouldn’t have mattered to him.
He’s on the record as saying “When I came to Collingwood, they were shithouse”

Hardie seems completely toxic as a media person.They hate each other. Malthouse was Brad’s coach at the bulldogs, left after 2 seasons with his first winning a Brownlow. No love lost between those 2. I know Brad and he is a lovely guy, I’ve never met Malthouse but he seems like a prick.
Hey I've heard he is super nice in person as well.For what it’s worth, during last year’s finals series I went to a client’s function where they got Mick to speak. They paid him to turn up and speak for a bit and mingle until 7pm. At about 9pm he was still talking footy with anyone who still cared.
Didn’t think much of him before that but while he was very intense and has burned some bridges he was probably an ok bloke.
They worked together at 3aw a few years back so I doubt it. Plus I’m pretty sure she hasn’t worked there in any official capacity.Caro?
Her dad did. Maybe it was him that Mick has beef with?They worked together at 3aw a few years back so I doubt it. Plus I’m pretty sure she hasn’t worked there in any official capacity.
Neither owed Richmond zip.Malthouse went to the pies for $
He is exactly like sheedy but with half the creativity .
When push came to shove neither gave two hoots about the tigers and stayed away when we needed them both
Will never forgive them for that

When Mick was Eagles coach Jacko wasn,t sticking to the script. Mick got hold of him and told him to play his way or no way. He said "If we go down it,s my fault, not yours".Mick Malthouse enjoys being hated and polarising. It is his oxygen. But he will back you all the way if you follow his rules. I met him briefly late 70s, fanatical fitness freak, ultra-disciplined, little sense of humour, straight down the middle. Loved him as a player, very under rated, and thought what he did at the Dogs was fantastic. Many of his ex players also love him, it is worth remembering.

TJ
Malthouse has been on record saying when he rocked up for the interview at richmond, TJ pulled out a bottle of wine and Malthouse thought it was a very unprofessional process compared to what Collingwood were doing
