Malthouse a Whinger......

[Lancey]

I used to love him as a player, but these days find his mediocre mick outbursts leaving me wondering where he is coming from.

But I guess working at Collingwood does that to you!

The best thing about 2005 was the return to coaching of Eade and Wallace, the arrival of Craig and the rise of Roos, all of whom are intelligent, media-savvy and thorough.

Poor old Malthouse, Sheedy and Pagan didn't know what hit them!  After years of bullying lightweights like Frawley, Schwab, Rohde, Thompson, Connolly and company they had become very comfortable.  Suddenly, they had their pants pulled down.

Sheedy is probably cunning enough to hit back at some stage, the other two I'm not so sure about!

Mick will be lucky to survive Collingwood's next on-field slump.

I agree, the new breed of coaches are well schooled in the art of making the media work for them, there is most definitely a new wave coming through. I actually think the baton has been passed from the big three. Sure they have been icons of the game but over the last 3 years they have not produced on the field and are becoming the grumpy old men of football.

The best in the business at selling there club I think is Neale Danhier. He is fantastic. Heard him on SEN and had them eating out of the palm of his hand. Pushes all the MCC members to join and really has a passion for football. I think it is his laid back country demeanour, something that we don't associate with the high stress job of AFL coaching.

Malthouse is actually very vocal on world environment issues. he campagned hard for a stop to logging in the WA Jarra and Carrie forests.

He also mentioned a few year ago that the biggest threat to the game is global warming, his comment was that in the 70s and 80s (when he was playing winter was truly cold) there were months in mid winter when you walked off the MCG or a local ground and your skin was hurting from the cold.

Now that happens maybe once or twice a year, the worry for the game is not milder winters but hot septembers when finals are played...

Good on him for having a view!

Flaming Greenies all running around " the sky is falling " "the sky is falling" maybe it's time he gave up living in the 21st century and got himself a spear and a loincloth.

Same old formula. When your team plays badly then blame everything and everyone else.

yep, totally agree. malthouse and sheedy do everything to deflect responsibility from themselves. malthouse is from the sheedy school of philosophy. i still can't believe sheedy blamed essendon's performance last year on lack of discipline.
