He is due criticsm. No doubt but there is a bigger picture that needs addressing

However, instead of the usual sarcastic BS you spout everyday how about backing it up with logic and reasoning??

FYI I believe he has come into a club that is culturally weak and with out direction and has put pressure on the players to play a hard finals type defensive style and they have crumbled. WHY. They are front running downhill skiers.

MM needs to change a few things but he isn't going anywhere (we can't afford it) and it's about time the players took some bloody responsibility. They simply aren't good enough.

Yep ... your right ... he is a winner.

The players are at fault ... we have lost some serious class in the list since he took over.

Onward!

Cant put all blame on MM and we cant afford to sack him so our little princesses need to straighten their tiaras and have a fair dinkum go instead of waiting and watching for someone else to do it. If you a clanger player ie robinson he should present to the playing group what extra work he is doing to recitify this issue, if he isnt well put him in the bullies and let him sort it out there, draw the line in the sand make these ladies accountable MM.

Why would you single out Robinson??

Did you see Carazzo, Rowe, Bell - half the team? Even Menzel missed from 15 metres out pretty much dead in front. And you put it all at the feet of Robinson?

our littlest russian doll (starting with the miggest cripps and ending with the smallest ellard ) of slow inside mids nailed 2 goals in a row... and then waite misses his shot...
the game is killed off from there

on ya waitey!!!.. not your first time !!!.. wont be your last....

Dont worry Mr S

The Great Tsar Michael the 3rd will organise a book launching tour - perhaps even a banquet of sausage sizzles.

This is such a strange post. When exactly did Buckley and the one assistant try to talk Mick into changing the game style but he wouldn't???

Was it in 2009? Perhaps acceptable, but they were in fact proven wrong.

Was it in 2010? Then they're idiots, because Collingwood hardly lost a game and won the flag.

Was it in 2011? Wow! Just wow! Reigning premiers. Kicking butt again. Finished top 2 on the ladder, and made the GF. And lost to a gun team by not much. WTF were they thinking????

Was it in 2012? Well Mick had left and Buckley got his way and could implement his own game style with his assistant. That's been going well.

Look, I'm not sure whether Mick's game style is the right one in the modern era, but please everyone, don't insult our intelligence by
----- a. judging it in this rabble of a club with this rabble of a list; and
----- b. saying that it didn't work at Collingwood....

help if you could read as well.

You just can't get over that book tour, can you ?

Do you cry at night in your bed and punch your pillow wailing about how unfair it was that Mick left you to go on his book tour ?

You seem pretty obsessed by it ...

Malthouse was appointed senior coach. The plan was for him to select an understudy who'll be groomed to take over as senior coach in a number of years.

Midway through last year, Mick approached the board with his opinion that 'there's no premiership' within the current list. His blunt presentation had stunned some board members. Mick told the board he wants to stick around and rebuild the club but it's gonna take time and that he will not throw a rookie coach like Cameron Ling or Jude Bolton under the buss by leaving them with a list that's had holes patched up.

Mick knows how to rebuild a team.

He wants to stay around and rebuild this club.

He wants to.

The problem with Robbo is that his kamikaze attack, that covered a lot of skill deficiencies, seems to have evaporated. He seems really unsure of himself, and his field kicking is really from the 1960s back pocket manual, mongrel punt anywhere upfield. I wd forgive him skill errors given that half the side can't kick, so long as he rediscovers his inner maniac.

Hey trublu,

I'm not doubting your mail. Seems likely to me. But why if there is no premiership in the list did Mick then go out and trade for Thomas and Everitt?
