Malthouse

Ice Wolf · Post: # 1141688Post **Ice Wolf** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 1:57pm

If the club does decide to go after Malthouse what sould/would they have to do to secure him?

We'll probably need our own VFL side. Should we look into buying the Frankston Football Club and it's VFA/VFL license?

We'll definitely need a lot of money. Do we get serious and try to get deep into our rich supporters pocket, do we increase membership fees to pay for what we would need?

Nettlefold's body language in the press conference today was interesting when asked about Malthouse- although he gave the line about not talking to contracted coaches etc, he did seem to suddenly stiffen up when asked about it, then relaxed again..mmm

They said we're not going to go after Malthouse.

I read that as, "We are not going to go after Malthouse... right now."

Let him finish off with Collingwood first. Let him know we want to talk to him, when he is done. He will respect us for that instead of beating down his door this very minute.

problem is eddie would take malthouse to court if he came over to us.

sainterinsydney · Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:02pm

Also, notice that he kept saying "whilst they are contracted". I think after the finals have finished, Malthouse may request to be relieved of the contract.

No, Eddie would take us to court.

It would be interesting for the total meltdown from Eddie that would ensue.

and said 'contracted'

watch after the GF when malthouse gets out of contract that because he still has a desire to coach.

all of a sudden nettle didnt lie
MM is now uncontracted

he doesnt need the cash
he has a desire to still coach and get teams to the highest achievements i reckon

saying that we'll prob end up with someone else

Yeah, he didnt say anything about not talking to Malthouses manager and obviously they will wait to talk to Malthouse himself till after Collingwood is finished with the finals, and i think he only talked about contacted coaches, not contracted "whatever Eddie is calling Micks job next year"s

Would we actually want Malthouse as coach after the history with Milney??

Thinline · Post: # 1141703Post **Thinline** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:04pm

Given where he's at, I suspect Malthouse would see this as a mountain worth climbing. Let's face it, he's all about Mick, so for him to have the chance to climb football's Mt Everest by lifting St Kilda to premiership glory I reckon he'd leap at it. IMO.

sainterinsydney · Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:04pm

I want the best coach available, and if that is MM, then so be it. No club should be solely determined by one player.

matrix · Post: # 1141706Post **matrix** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:05pm

so a decent chance at one of the best coaches coming over
but we wouldnt get him after he had words with milne

board would say toughen up i reckon
milney would be a little uneasy i reckon tho
and thats totally understandable

Well they were all on the spiel about looking forward and not dwelling on the past.

They're both professionals, and both would deal with it.

If they're both at the club, would one of them do something so that they aren't working together to win the ultimate?

If so, one of them would be out of the club quick smart.

St Loxton · Post: # 1141713Post **St Loxton** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:07pm

It would be an interesting first conversation between the two of them if it did happen. Would have to put it behind them.

I don't reckon Milne would give two hoots.

I reckon Milne just wants to play and win.

I think Malthouse has gotten over it but has our Milney?

MC Gusto · Post: # 1141716Post **MC Gusto** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:08pm

They are definitely going to gave malthouse as one of their targets

matrix · Post: # 1141717Post **matrix** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:08pm

agreed
they would both let it be bygones

you know what
i hated him for that shite with milney
thought it was a low act

funny, a year in football and im saying he is the best choice (imo) to coach our club

bloody unreal

Welcome back Malcolm...erm...I mean, Mick.

ThePunter · Post: # 1141723Post **ThePunter** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:11pm

I would think after the events of the last 24 hours we would want someone with a track record of showing respect to the St Kilda Football Club.

The Club has acted honourably, and to now engage in a process to get Mick Malthouse would be a dishonourable process to employ a dishonourable man.

As I said on another thread, I'd have to sit down and think long and hard when my membership renewal arrived later this year if Malthouse was St Kilda's coach.

Difference is Mick still wants to coach.

Saints94 · Post: # 1141725Post **Saints94** » Fri 16 Sep 2011 2:11pm

Its been that kind of year for us Saints hasn't it... BUT i tell you what im really excited about a new coach, new direction, fresh air at Linen House.

Possibly, but the similarity is both did not respect the club one itoa...I'm not sure if you put your heart into the job if there isn't mutual respect, and coaching the Saints requires a lot of ticker.

Yep there is no doubt a few wont get another membership but there is also no doubt many more will join. Why would it be dishonourable to go after MM. He is contracted but so will many assistant coahes we will interview.
