Yeh, Mick looks old now, older than his age, he looks buggered and tired, silly ol fool. He coulda had a dream job at the Pies on huge coin as our director of coaching but he chose revenge on eddie and the board. Its blown up in his face and he wont walk, he will be sacked after rd twenty two, and will go with his once great reputation totally sullied and ruined. I see that swine worsfold has thrown his hat in the ring, hoping to coach the scum at seasons end. cant see him making a much out of such a shit list and shocking board and finances. Even scum fans on bigfooty reckons it matters little who takes em over, they are a basket case and will remain one for many years. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised that when Carlton publicly announced its rebuild that the player morale diminished substantially so Mick does have a point but his coaching has been very poor in the last two or three years so I think he needs to take responsibility for his poor coaching performances.
In regards to Daisy, I don't think he'll care too much if Mick is gone sooner rather than later especially since he's getting $700,000 a year to kick 35m shanks and to play with a persistent ankle issue that could be aggravated at any moment. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

Mick looks frail. I am genuinely concerned about his health. |

I think if Dale Thomas wanted to come back to the Pies for a token draft pick and some salary cap relief, we'd still say no. He's still got it as a small forward and tries hard but just doesn't look right. Mick is done, if no it this week then certainly after Sydney crush them. |

MM did the same thing with us. He tried to make it look like he is the Victim and not the Cause of the Problem _________________ I am Da Man |

My old man, who played VFL, reckons that the big problem at Carlton is the Thomas signing. He read that Judd is on 500k, Gibbs about 450, and the attitude of anyone in a team where someone like Thomas is earning way more than the others as a coach's favourite, is "let them earn it". Looking at the spirit and endeavour, I think there might be something in this. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

There is something special about the current demise of Carlton and the role an ex-pie player and coach have played…
perhaps this will add another chapter to the rivalry?

Today proves what a detrimental effect Madhouse had on Carlton. Finished on a sour note with Pies and a disastrous one at Price Fixer Park. I agree that Mick is only interested in no. 1. Thank god Eddie had the good sense to move him on and Pies are on the up now! _________________ Daicos, impossible angle ... Goal! |

I love Mick, always will, I know many of us have differing opinions about our seperation, but it's bloody sad to see him go down like this (except the fist pumping for the Filth). |
On his take this morning KB said that Adelaide should appoint Mick as their new coach.
I think he's finally lost it. |

It's evident that Mick isn't coping with life post-football! He'd been involved in the game since 1972 in a playing and coaching capacity so things have changed for him drastically.
In 2012 he was coping without a job because he had a role in the media but most importantly in his mind he always knew he wanted to coach elsewhere despite pledging he could "never coach against [his] boys" so the idea of post-football never arose in his mind.
I honestly think Adelaide won't look at him due to his age, the mess that has been created with his last three clubs (especially towards the end) and the fact that his coaching philosophies are out of date with the modern game. He was a great coach in his day but time has moved on now.
I suspect that Mick made these comments as a defence mechanism to the fact that he's not coping with life post-football! Maybe I'm overanalysing it but surely he's not silly enough to believe he'll coach again or is he? _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |

He certainly wouldn't be the first has-been to get wheeled out as senior coach by a desperate club. Indeed, when you think about it, it happens to nearly all of them at one point - Haxey, Jeans, Kennedy, Barassi, Blight, Sheedy...
I don't think that club will be Adelaide, though. _________________ All watched over by machines of loving grace |
