In fairness Club, this is hardly a new MO for MM. Scott, Bucks, Hardwick have all had a whinge this year about rules.

I'd actually been surprised at how little MM had been complaining.

His "victim" schtick was gold medal worthy at WCE and he continued it the Pois with his very own human megaphone in Eddie.

I hated it when he used to do it for other clubs but it rarely harmed the club and I suspect that it builds that US v Them mentality.

Ultimately the message the players (and a lot of supporters) heard was "that was the effort we want, well done boys, the umpiring was sh1t".

Great post mate. Completely agree

Not true.The club NEVER said that.

The thoughts were that Ratten had taken the side as far as he could and he wasn't the right coach to take us to a premiership.

MM is a premiership winning coach. He has been brought in to make us a top side again and a club that doesn't except mediocrity.

We are on the right path. We have some holes that need fixing but the game style and attitude can't be questioned.

I am going to stick up for a fellow poster here and let you know that your last sentence is nonsense. You have a tendency to dismiss other people's views on this sight and it actually infuriates me. Who made you the "wise one".

Although, I don't agree with all of the original post, I though there were some very good points made. Don't have a problem with you thinking differently but watch your tone when responding. A bit of respect goes along way.

Agree 100%.

Can anyone produce evidence of the club saying that they brought in Mick to take us to a premiership THIS season?

2013 is a transition year, and we're 6-6 with a tough game coming up, but every remaining game after the Swans is winnable, we could very well sneak in to the 8 and do some damage.

Speaking of respect. I stopped reading after the arrogant first line of the OP

Did Malthouse say this list could challenge for the flag?
If we fail to do so this year does that mean Malthouse hasn’t performed up to the standard expected from the lists capabilities?

I want to know what BigBlueWave thinks.

Me too. In fact I just googled BBW


Ended up getting sidetracked

let's all bow to the "wise one", now correcting people's spelling mistakes

where were you when I required some help in my school english classes, I could of have been a "contender"

my original point still stands by the way

You need to relax WOW.

People who earn respect get it. Sugarcane (Virgin Blue) has been an obnoxious agitator for many years. When he offers respect to others, I'm sure he'll receive it in return.
I'm more than happy to hear everyones opinion. The people who think posters who dont share their opinion are fools or "@#$%&! blind" I'm not interested in. same as the fools who claim they channel MM and know what he's thinking and what he's trying to achieve.
"MM thinks this", "MM only does that"
They're try hard nobodies.

Lets debate the point using facts and reasonable opinion rather than fictional grandstanding.

There's some contrasting things that happen in press conferences that have me wondering which is better.

Hird talks about the merit of a young 2nd gamer kicking 3 goals (2 of which were gifts and 1 which was a beautiful sailing shot from 50 on the run). He talks about him as the future of the club.

Malthouse doesn't commend any single player for their efforts. Robinson plays with a possible cracked shoulder. Simpson courageous. But to Malthouse there's no time for heroes. It's bamboozled me. My thoughts would be to at least acknowledge the courage of some outstanding individual contributions that set an example.

But then, one team won by 40 points, the other lost another winnable game where the umpiring infuriated quite a few on here (and Mick himself).

An interesting comparison nontheless.
