Operation Get Mick!

I reckon Mick will take the next 6 months to travel the world and re-assess his goals in life.
Then the media next season.
Then wait for the right head coaching role to open up in 2013.

This was on the heraldsun but they must have removed it.

There is still a small chance of Malthouse to the Tiges.

He has said he won't coach again and feels most at home at puntroad. I also remember him in round 4 talking highly of Martin cotchin and Deledio. He went into detail about then all as well.

He has said "passion is a tap you can't turn off" so I think he still does want to be involved at a club. But won't coach again, as he said.

I'll be interested to see if we do fill our director of coaching position this year.

It is interesting that he keeps making these references to Richmond feeling like home. Malthouse has a contract to work at Collingwood next year - not hard to imagine him doing a Bomber Thompson and citing exhaustion to get out of it, then miraculously discovering the energy to work elsewhere. Would rile McGuire no end and rekindle the ancient rivalry.
 
I have it on very good authority that Mick will be at Tigerland in 2013 as our Runner. ;)
 
a strong, determined and ruthless club would make it happen.

The previous year Collingwood went out in the first round of the NAB cup, Feb 19th, that's and extra 5 weeks to prepare for the season ahead. And didn't that show the way they ran out the 2nd grand final against the team that played in the pre season grand final, St Kilda, against Footscray.

You don't get an extra 5 weeks to prepare, you play the same number of games just have to get sent to Shepparton and Canberra and Bunbury.

And I didn't include Geelong in the analogy for a very good reason, they played TWO Grand Finals less than Collinwood in the previous 12 months. So that's 2 extra weeks of footy at its most intense, plus a minimum of a week extra for the celebrations after the grand final. Collingwood could easily have been 3 to 4 weeks behind Geelong in their prep. for the following season. All the more reason to tank in the pre season comp. and give yourselves the extra 5 weeks in your pre season prep.

So they had to cut out a couple of weeks of weights and drills. Doesn't matter how late you start, round 1 is round 1. And playing 3-4 preseason games for each player is what everyone does to get them right.

So Leysy, are we going to go with "the wheels fell off" as a scientific analysis of why Collingwood looked completely flat in the Grand Final? That's right up there with "it's the vibe of it" in weight of argument ;).

I posted two sentences refering to the fact that they were travelling well and ran into a series of injuries and suspensions. That is my reference to the wheels falling off which you have taken in isolation. They simply weren't able to get form into guys like Dawes or touch into someone like Didak or Thomas. Shaw was flying. Maxwell was struggling before he broke his thumb and a passenger afterwards.

As for them dieing in the last quarter of the GF? Probably has as much to do with the giant effort in the prelim against the Hawks which was intense. Cats cruised passed the Eagles and by rights should always have been fresher. I think those 7 quarters against the Hawks and Cats show they must have been doing something right. In the end, they had too many guys who missed footy at the wrong end of the season and were not match fit. That's the way it goes sometimes,.

The lesson for us is that if we want to win a GF we probably need to be a lot better than we imagine. It is probable that one of our assitants will go for a job in GF week, or than Martin will be on one leg, or that Rance will miss.
 
Mick says today he never wants to be involved in "Clubland" again...sorry that's all folks, never to return.
 
Malthouse said today that although right at this moment it is never, you can never say never.

A couple of months off, some time in the media he will be toey to get back into to it in 2013. Doubt there can be a role for him at Richmond, it is either head coach or nothing.

IMO the director of coaching role is a wank.

In his presser he was asked which club really felt like home to him. He went on to defer making a call but suggested that it was the club he played at - I had the feeling he meant the Tiges (not the Saints).

"Each club has played a significant role in my development," says Malthouse.

"But I guess where you play and you win a premiership makes you feel so important," added Malthouse, a member of Richmond's last premiership team in 1980.

"Coaching is very isolated.

"Where you sweat, where you bleed, where you break your bones and ligaments and God knows whatever else, that is (home). When you wake up in the morning and you have a crook knee, your back aches and your fingers are out of joint, you know where you got it.

"I look in the mirror and the biggest cut across my eye, I know where I got that (Richmond).

"You feel a lot of sweat here (at Collingwood as a coach), but the other place (Richmond) was sweat and blood (as a player)."

That's what he said but he meant to say, "I've already signed two contracts for 2013, one to coach and the other a set of divorce papers"

Spot on. He is a born coach. Nothing else will be good enough.

Not really sure the role at Richmond will open anytime soon.
 
Interestingly, FWIW, Malthouse today was quoted in the West Australian as saying he came into this world a Magpie supporter, and he would leave it as a Magpie supporter.

I would hope he doesn't leave the world the same way he came.

Well, I know he once set foot in the Richmond Football Club and became a Richmond Footballer, and I hope he NEVER sets foot in our Coaching Department.

Don't worry....if he takes a year off he's gone forever.
All this new, young breed of Coaches will show they are the new breed and hear to stay.

Sayonara Mick, you clown.
 
Scribblar, with some of your spelling mistakes, I think you have put "own" in clown ;D
