I was listening to Alan Richardson talk tonight at a football function I attended. Out of the coaches he's been involved with (Kennedy, Matthews, Shaw, Frawley, Eade, Rohde, Malthouse, Knights) he rates Matthews the best.
He also confirmed what I've heard from other assistant coaches that Malthouse is virtually a football director already. Buckley, Neeld, Brown and co do nearly all the training and strategic planning.
I'll give Malthouse credit, he's parked his ego to an extent and allowed the younger blokes to drive the club to a premiership. He's smart enough to take the credit when it comes along.
Why anyone would be naive enough to want him coaching Carlton is beyond me. Collingwood aren't moving him along for no reason. Past it. If you want a new coach, look to the future, not the past.
Yep...have heard similar things BV, although moves are still made by Mick on gameday, this flag was largely driven by the Buckley/Neeld combination.
