Who couldn’t Malthouse work with at Richmond?

[StillAtLarge]

I heard the possum in the roof said "it's either Mick or me" and they sided with the possum

The shoulder test on Malthouse prior to the GF was done by Francis Bourke.

I suspect it was TJ. But have no idea.

Bourke was coach, if that's the question.

 

[Captain_Bender]

Was it the '82 GF when he had the late fitness test on his injured shoulder / collar bone and failed it and missed out on the game. I'm assuming TJ was the coach. I remember at the time that it happened it was alleged that the test was brutal and it wasn't until virtually the last bump / collision that it gave way again.

Francis Bourke was the coach in 82

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

Richmond was a rabble that would knife coaches whenever the opportunity arose.

Why would either go there?

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.

Unlike Brad Hardie?

Exactly

Malthouse is an absolute bitter self centred flog.
Hardies not much different

 

[revo333]

Malthouse is an old school man's man - the likes of which are a dying breed these days

That's a good thing.

It's ok to be old school but he is also behind the times and I instantly switch off when He or Sheedy start giving their opinion about something.

Know him do you?

 

[Macpotata]

Everyone

Know him do you?

Met him when I younger, lived down the road from us in Hilton park.
Plus through association with the south freo footy club

Wow sounds like you’re best mates.

No
Like I said , flog

 

[KnaveyBlue]

Malthouse sure did a number on the Blues

Left us in last place with the oldest list in the league. 10/10

Your fifteen minutes?

Used the club to get to the coaching record and then walked away from them leaving a trail of destruction mid-season, real scumbag material

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

The highlight of this thread is the revelation that Doug Hawkins thought it was a good idea to name his autobiography 'Hawk Namure'.

 

[Stepover]

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

Wouldn’t surprise me, had a mate who played around 20 games for Richmond in the early 80’s .... planted one on TJ’s chin then packed his bag never to return. My mate was the nicest bloke you could meet but TJ apparently was a .......

Ha, walked away.

Goaded the club into firing him you mean with a radio spot. Cha Ching.

 

[Scotland]

Pretty sure the only time he was ever happy at WC was when we were up 80 in the 1994 GF.

I remember he was asked about Plugger kicking 1300 and he couldn't muster a positive comment about it because we lost our game.

Yes, that was more accurate, he did everything he could to get fired so he didn't have to deal with the mess he created.

Legend of the game my arse

 

[Damon_3388]

My money, for what it's worth, is on our number one female ticket holder at the time, Denise Drysdale.

What actual influence or power would she have held at the time?

Absolute dumbest idea for a "fitness test" of all time. "Test" an injured body part by actively trying to break it. What did those involved really think was going to happen?

I think the thinking was that he was trying to come back too quickly so best to find out before the day.

An old saying for an injury in finals. if in doubt , leave them out. Ie Dusty last year.
