If he was a smart man he would be able to pick the right team and coach these players.

Reckon he'll be gone y end of next year.

This isn't the Pies or WCE, our board don't have the backbone or nous to make it work.

Our 150th year could be one of the worst in living memory.

Reckon we are cooked.

what was wrong with the team he selected?? the past three weeks there has been no complaints with the team and all of a sudden he has picked the wrong team.

I think you have no idea.

No point throwing players like Graham, Menzel, Temay, Buckley to the wolves when he thinks they are not ready.

Plenty of Micks attention has been on educating the likes of Graham, Menzel, Temay and Buckley.... trust me.

He wants them ready to play AFL football not play them to please inpatient supporters like yourself.

I GIVE UP. Its the worst game we've played all year and we are blaming Mick........

LAST NIGHTS EFFORT BY THE BOYS WAS PATHETIC

HOW IS THAT MICKS FAULT?

I think people have been plenty patient and plenty supportive, but his efforts this year have been sub par and so have the teams.

Let's hope he doesn't have another book to promote this off season, could set us back another season.

Let's hope he can find an assistant or two who will work with him for 2014 because he couldn't get one this year.

It hasn't been just last night if you think that then you are just looking at the results and nothing else.

[size=200]HE'S IN CHARGE[/size]

We have a man trying to rebuild the club like he did at Collingwood.

Finally we have a man at the helm with a wealth of football knowledge. A 3 time premiership coach with the passion to coach and people are having a b i t c h and moan.

TRUST ME WHEN I SAY THIS...... Micks hands were tied last year when he took over in regards to make significant changes.

I can tell you right now why Warnock and Laidler are not getting a game...... Because of the money they are on doesnt match the their output for this club. SIMPLE AS THAT.

Mick cannot believe some of the financial deals our boys are on. Brock is one other on very good money and under Mick will not get a deal like that again.

Mick wants to free up plenty of money in the salary cap and these two were will be the first to be shown the door.

Hand's tied?

How did he sign all those copies of his book?

We are 13 games into a new game plan, a new style of footy under a new coach. WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?

The problem with many of you is you are just as delusional as some of the people running the club thinking we have a premiership team with this list.

Why is Malthouse worrying about what players are getting paid?

On presented evidence, I don't rate him that much, but to suggest that is making him look plain simple.

That's why Mick isn't coaching.

We need to be careful to not over react

I for one didn't expect much this year as players are learning new style of play etc. I'd have tout that was common sense

Don't get me wrong coach is responsible at end of day and I think it's poor we have lost the past 4 against good sides. But, we should have beaten Ess had we taken our chances and we were unlucky against has that Murphy and Robinson got injured and some howlers by the umpires also helped change the momentum.

Mick like any other coach needs to be judged after a couple years not 13 weeks

Cold hard fact is the list is rancid and no coach can take this mob to the top echelon of the comp. in hindsight Ratten did a decent job with this list. Maybe 5th was the ceiling for this list

Mick will oversee a rebuild. Fingers crossed he and the club get it right. But we'd better get comfy in our seat cause it wil take time.

The good thing is Mick will call the shots. He might be a grumpy prick but he knows what needs to be done and has the balls to put his foot down. We should be grateful he's at the club because he stands the best chance of any coach bar Roos to over rule the idiots running the club like Kernahan etc

Mick won't take any shit

His hands didn't sign Warnock on a $400,000 dollar a year contract

His hands didnt waste draft picks on Russel, Bower, Watson, Lucas, Kruezer, Mitchell, Livingston, Kennedy

His hands didnt research articles by emma quayle and matt burgen on future draft prospects

His hands havent underdeveloped our list and leadership

How about having a crack at the likes like Swann, Sticks etc who have overrated our list, accpeted a mediocre recruiting department and a lack of player development.

Because when he wants to get a player like Cloke to the club and cant because players like Warnock, Laidler and Mclean are being paid well over their worth is why he concerned.

Don't worry, they'll get theirs.

...........and MM is getting his in his thread for his mistakes.

I can tell you now if he doesn't get a couple of absolute A grade assistants next year we are sunk.

You have a smart footy man walk into a mediocre club like ours and laugh at how poorly setup it is.

Mick will take charge from now on.

The board were dealt a nice harsh reality check by Mick is what i heard. He let it known exactly where this club is at and where it needs to be. They have thrown all the support in the world to make things happen for Mick.

David Buttifant is on top of Micks off field wish list.

We can't afford A grade assistants because of the money Malthouse is on.

ROI is very poor.

Mclean signed with Carlton for one year on Oct 10 2012. Malthouse signed with Carlton on Sept 11 2012.

Prior to that he was on big bucks.

Luke Ball played for Collingwood a lot less than what he paid at the Saints. Thats the kind of players Mick wants

Hello Christie,
and a big warm welcome to you.
