Secondly MM has a great track record in raising the standards of players and resurrecting careers. For this reason he maybe think what is in the past, is in the past. I have no doubt some Carlton players are going to be far better off under his coaching.
Most coaches have a track record of raising the standards of players. Laidler under Ratten comes to mind. And like most coaches, Mick has his failures. (Cam Wood traded for pick 15 and still a spud, Chris Bryan poached from Carlton and did nothing)
The onus will still be on the program to develop and improve players. MM isnt going to do it.
Yes, but MM has brought in Wiley to head the development program. Malthouse may not be doing it, but he's having an influence on it and has set the course for it, as a leader should.
Laidler? Became to a club that would actually play him, and immediately thrived. I wouldn't credit any kind of coach-led development there. Carazzo might be a better example.
Anyway, I'm far more interested in how our senior coach develops the team. Was interesting to hear Scotland say at the b&f that the players "bust a hump" in every single game. Really? I'm not sure how he could say that, particularly after just watching Syd vs Haw in the GF.
a bit delusional down at PP methinks. There's trying... And there's trying.
The point I was making is Malthouse has had his successes and failures at "rebirthing players". No more than many other coaches.
He isnt some form of silver bullet as some appear to believe. "Player X will thrive under Malthouse" "Malthouse will sort out player Y"
Plenty of people will be disappointed if they think MM is the answer to all our prayers.
Success and development comes from having a strong program and a determination and commitment to nurture talent.
