Never expected this one.

Who'd have thought 10 years after announcing Dennis Pagan as the head coach, Malthouse is announced.....

Now bring Cloke with you. :grin:

Welcome Mick!!!!

Is there history between Mick and Tony Jones?

Do you think Mars will now also sponsor Mick with a range of MMs?

Thought he spoke well. Put a few journos back into their box.

A fair few clichés thrown around. Adamant that it's inly been the past week that contact has been made etc...

I'm sure the great Wookie will you-tube it at some stage.

+1, or alternatively if someone has it in a different format (not silverlight as my work blocks this) to watch it in that would be awesome

Grand Final. (My opinion).....

Mick's expectation was something about getting the best out of the players, and getting them to dream and have high goals.

Don't remember exactly what he said, but it was notably different to Ratt's style of giving stats and numbers.

Hopefully he can inspire the players to get extra performance out of them.

Well done Mick !!!!
Welcome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:thumbsup:

Follow the link below to the TC twitter feed, I posted some notes along the way.

The club will have the presser on their YT channel later today as well.

Something about mountains, and goals that you can never quite reach, so you keep coming back?

He does look old grro. Thought the same thing.
I just hope the players thrive under his stewarship, and we get a great improvement.

Here's the notes I made via twitter; I did miss a bit in the middle humouring my boss who was trying to talk work with me. :lol:

--

Sticks: Mick has been appointed coach for next 3 years.

Mick: A great sense of honour to coach this terrific club.

Mick: Am indebted already to Stephen, Greg and the board for the opportunity.

Sticks: Assistant coach positions still ongoing.

Mick: Structure under Brett Ratten is different to one I would like. Not personnel, structure.

Mick: At the appropriate time (I will speak to Travis Cloke).

RT @SammyHeraldSun: Journalist: will you be making a play for Travis cloke? MM: "Absolutely".

Sticks: I think he (Cloke) will sign with Collingwood, if he decides to leave we'll be interested.

Sticks: Very happy with the deal we did, beneficial to both parties (on MM salary)

Mick: I will back myself in any team to get the best out of every individual.

Mick: I want them (players) to have a common goal, I want them to dream big.

Mick: I don't want people standing behind me, I want them standing beside me.

Sticks: This is a good day, Mick's record speaks for itself. Hope he can take us to long term success.

Mick: I'm delighted, absolutely delighted.

Mick: [Coached Betts, Murphy, Gibbs, Simpson with Aus] Outstanding people, look forward to reaquainting myself with them and meeting the others.
