But the triple premiership coach admitted he still felt more like a Tiger than a Magpie or an Eagle after playing 121 games for Richmond, including his defensive role in the 1980 premiership.
"I've walked into the Richmond rooms three or four times in the last 10 years to sign memorabilia for the football club and somehow I felt at home because I played there and I bled there," Malthouse said.
"I think it's a lot to do with the blood, sweat and the tears and walking back into those Richmond rooms. People accept you there because you played there.
"I wasn't the Collingwood coach walking in there, I was a former premiership player. It's funny how you feel it.

Consider it partial retirement ;)
-
Come home Mick... come home.
-

-

He would deliver what so many before him have pretended to.

KB pushed hard for him 2 years ago.
Bloody timing is everything >:( I'm good for sticking the course with Hardwick but if Mick stays at Collingwood next year and Dimma doesn't deliver then make it happen Tiges !

Now click your heels together 3 times Dorothy and you will be back in Kansas....he won't be back as a Coach at our foolball club.

It's all done to destabilise us.
A few years back he said he wouldn't come to an RFC function because he felt it wasn't right b/c he was coaching Collingwood.
Funny we have a few heavy defeats and we are no longer talking finals and the print media are regurgitating these old chestnuts. For years it was Sheeds now its Mick.
Let the romance go its tiresome.
-
yep, bullskata

In fairness to Mick, he was actually asked this earlier in the season on "The Game Plan" I think it was and he said at the time, there is an incredible bond between blokes who play in Premierships together and because of that he feels more like a Tiger than any of the others..
All about timing, timing has never been right.

Makes sense.

Make him an offer right now and see if he actually means it.
-
He doesnt mean it, there's no doubt about it.
If he did, he'd be poaching us, and that ain't happening.
Thread closed.

The players seem to like Hardwick so I reckon we gotta stick with him for next year no matter who's available. He's selling his message to the fans and media really well. Better than Wallace even !
Thing is though , if we're in this same position at the same time next year the message will be wearing real thin and if Mick's sitting in an office somewhere in the Lexus centre and Roos is still coaching 8 year olds then ?

Yeah agree, Blackie but hasn't been his best month.
The problem with the goals they announced as I said at the time on another forum is that it means if we missed the finals in the first two years of the five then we have to make the finals 3 years straight, starting next year.
How do you think the pressure and speculation will go next year if we are battling to make the 8 half way through the year?
Potentially could make things very tough.

Brisbane, Geelong, St Kilda, Collingwood, Carlton, Hawthorn ... they have all gone through periods like this. Periods where consensus was they had a good young list but were desperately inconsistent and put up some horrible performances.
Many of the coaches have drawn angst from supporters with question marks over their ability to take the team that final step.
The thing these clubs have in common is they stuck to their guns and provided stability.
The exception here is St Kilda and they never quite made it to the final prize and now look like they won't.
Carlton are on their way but it's too early to judge the final outcome.

IF he could handle a senior role working with RockCock I would be over the moon, his tactical / strategic nouse would be invaluable. RockCock looks like a guru team builder, between the two of them we would have team winner. This is all hookah smoke but hey you never know...
-
One thing is for sure, he isn't gonna be at Collingwood next year.
Watched them train today and the body language between he and Buckley was telling.
-
Mick is probably just doing a Sheeds and using the threat of leaving to get the position he wants at Collingwood. If Richmond is still considered "home" then why hasn't he come back since he finished playing 28 years ago?!
-
We've been a effing rabble and we have had great coaches like Wallet and Wallsy anyway
