Malthouse wants "FAIRER" FIXture !!
When commenting on the gap between the have's & have not's in the AFL, Mick Malthouse said that a fairer FIXture should be a priority;
Let's have a look at Collingwoods FIXture for the past xx years (and probably next year) to see what Collingwood can give up to even up the FIXture a bit;
The Collingwood season consists of 16 games at the MCG, 2 games at Etihad Stadium, 1 game at ANZ Stadium in Sydney, 1 game in Perth v Freemantle, 1 game in Adelaide (Friday Night) v Port Adelaide and 1 game in Brisbane or Gold Coast. They NEVER travel more than 4 times per year
They also have locked in ANZAC Day
They have HOME & AWAY games v Essendon and Carlton each and every year
They DO NOT play Adelaide in Adelaide or West Coast in Perth
They also have locked in away games v Melbourne (Queens Birthday) and North Melbourne
So Mick, which parts of the "Standard Collingwood FIXture" are you & Eddie prepared to sacrifice in the interests of FAIRNESS & EQUITY? !!

NEW scarf signature (hopefully with correct spelling) will be here as soon as it arrives !!

Agree with this - it's like he is baiting Eddie and giving him the the dirty finger on the way outSaintTom wrote:To be honest, I think Mick is saying that in spite of Collingwood and not for them. He's said a few things against the grain of what Collingwood usually says since the Buckley succession plan, most especially this year.

Agreed. A joke.
Sh*thouse is obviously doing it to distract journalists from asking how many games straight they can keep winning.
The pressure will mount and mount with each win so that if the 'Pies DON'T win this year it will be Geelong '08...an epic fail.

In honour of those who went before, in the dark and desperate years.

BTW he'd like Not to play in the wet when he travels......
I wonder if anyone will call him on his interchanges and resting during that game if it was so tough- why not more - and forcing his team to demolish a team by over 100 points.

Is that the same game that his players were heard to say in the first quarter "this is getting embarrassing". Yep hard game and big trip to adelaideozrulestrace wrote:And this morning he's trotted out the excuse of a six day break and how tired the filth were from the game against Port.
What gets me is why everyone hangs off every word he says, when everyone knows he's not good at telling the truth.

so unless he's teling porkies for twitter he is making a mockery of his coaches suggestion that travelling interstate 90 min hurt his players
and yet they travel over 2 hours for a weekend away....?
shouldn't his players be resting up for their next trip interstate in a fortnight?

I can understand where he is coming from, the last time the filth had a six day break coming off an interstate trip was in 2007... I mean how on earth are they supposed to condition to that !!!!ozrulestrace wrote:And this morning he's trotted out the excuse of a six day break and how tired the filth were from the game against Port.

Malthouse would be better off closing his lying trap ... biased fixture stacked in the filths favour, I would happy to have the cheating draw. Not attract attention to it.
