Mick poo's all over Bailey and Craig if our club doesn't make play for him in some role in the footy department we have got rocks in our head and I would be so disappointed.He would be perfect as a Senior assistant or football director.Success follows him !.

I will repeat Mick Malthouse will not be at any other AFL club in 2012, he will honour his agreement with the Pies regarding 2012 

Look forward to hearing him on the wireless and doing special comments on Ch7

Problem is he has to sit out of coaching for year, not sure if that is just senior coaching or all roles in any other football club, but I would love to know how this contract crap works legally stopping someone from being employed elsewhere....  Interesting times. 

To be able to be released from his current contract (3yrs as director of footy at CW) he cannot be at another club

Interesting post WP, do you speak for MM?

Nothing is assured in this business.

I imagine that what WP is saying is that for Malthouse to be released from the final 2 years of his new contract he cant work for another club for 12 months. That means hes not working for any footy club. He will wait out the 12 months and then he'll probably get a coaching job.

I can't see him coaching anyway but find it hard to believe that he's legally obliged to not workat a football club other than Collingwood. Is he able to work for the VFL, can he do volunteer work? I'm sure if he said I wanted to coach GWS, the AFL would make it happen.

Otherwise Mick may have to apply for a christmas casual at Myers this year if Collingwood have legal rights to his employment.

Happens all the time in employment contracts Pope, my IT contracts have nearly always included a clause that I'm not allowed to work for a competitor or customer within a timeframe (usually 12 months) if I leave.  Don't have one at the moment though - it seems working as a TA for a concreter is not considered a sufficient risk of IP loss to warrant it!

Correct smokey - I have the same clause in my contract, cannot work for another company in the same industry for 12 months if I leave ... very common these days

Do I don't but I see Mick Malthouse as man of his word, he said he wont be at another club in 2012 & I believe him

Also, cannot see Eddie letting him walk away from a contract without some sort of guarantee that he wont go to another club ... bototm line is he had a contract for him to go to another AFL he would need to be released with C'wood basically allowing it - Pies wouldn't, seriously would you

Rucci in the Adelaide Advertiser is linking Malthouse to Richmond ....


Mick Malthouse ends coaching era to seek new home

MICHAEL Malthouse is clear on only one part of his next role in the AFL - it will not be at Collingwood.

But the veteran coach has left open his options - perhaps without a 12-month lay-off - to be part of an emotional homecoming at Richmond.

Malthouse, 58, on Saturday closed his successful era at Collingwood leaving the coaching role to former Magpies captain Nathan Buckley - and he will cast no shadow on Buckley by refusing to be Collingwood's first director of coaching.

Malthouse rejected this role six weeks ago because - regardless of its title - it involved no coaching, particularly on game day.

While his original club, St Kilda, is without a coach as it deals with Ross Lyon's defection to Fremantle, Malthouse has declared he will not coach again - despite being just 50 games short of the VFL-AFL record of 715 games held by Jock McHale.

Richmond, however, is seeking a coaching director who will be involved on match day. In the field for this role is deposed Melbourne coach Dean Bailey, who is also being chased by Port Adelaide for Matthew Primus' new panel.

But more appealing to the Tigers would be to lure Malthouse home to reposition a Victorian club - like the Collingwood inherited by Malthouse in late 1999 - haunted by a long (31 years) premiership drought.

After serving five clubs - St Kilda, Richmond, Footscray (now the Western Bulldogs), West Coast and Collingwood - as a player or coach in 40 years, the question of which stands as home for Malthouse is clearly Richmond.

"Each club has played a significant role in my development," says Malthouse.

"But I guess where you play and you win a premiership makes you feel so important," added Malthouse, a member of Richmond's last premiership team in 1980.

"Coaching is very isolated.

"Where you sweat, where you bleed, where you break your bones and ligaments and God knows whatever else, that is (home). When you wake up in the morning and you have a crook knee, your back aches and your fingers are out of joint, you know where you got it.

"I look in the mirror and the biggest cut across my eye, I know where I got that (Richmond).

"You feel a lot of sweat here (at Collingwood as a coach), but the other place (Richmond) was sweat and blood (as a player)."

The Herald-Sun however has Mick joining Ch 7 and 3aw next year ....

Interesting stuff.  Strong signals in the first one.

[WilliamPowell]

Well Mick Rucci was the man who tipped Craig to Richmond and that was WRONG so.... 

Anyway media , Ch7 yes but I think he may stay with SEN

[Owl]

Fair enough, but they are Micks quotes and they aren't the first sentimental Richmond ones I have heard from him this year.  He was talking about it earlier in the year about how he comes back sometimes for a function and how he never coached Richmond because the timing was never right etc.  I think there is a genuine wish to do something but the club might take the same stance they did with Sheedy.  As you say he is under the contract obligations this year, perhaps next year he can do something.

[Oiafi]

Agree but unlike Sheedy MM sounds like he is willing to take a position that would suit us better. Sheedy always wanted to be coach, MM has said he will never coach again. He'd be a great mentor for DH.

I reckon WP's right about him though. He's always struck me as being a man of his word so I doubt he would take on a full time football role next year, simply because he has stated he wouldn't.

Love to see him a Punt Road a bit in a less official capacity. Perhaps he can have some informal chats with Dimma if Dimma would like that. We have ex-Richmond mentors for players. Why not for the coach. Tell you what Dimma would have hit the Jackpot having both Hafey and Malthouse to talk to.

Maybe he'll come next year.

[Owl]

wouldn't sneeze at that.  Sheedy was always about Sheedy, he merely used us as a means to an end and is a bombers man through and through despite his playing days.  I think Mick, despite his professional coaching is genuine in what he feels for the Tiges and it would be great to see him come back in some capacity.  I watch with irony the machinations of Eddy 'my way' Macquire as he systematically dismantles Collingwood and cannot help seeing some of the similarities between our own downfall all those years ago when egos overruled wisdom and pride shouted down pragmatism.  Eddy wanted his cake and to eat it.  The wheel might truly have come full circle if Mick does come home next year, how symbolic considering the trade war that began our demise.  I have to say it was stuffing sweet watching Damir Clokiche's spawn fail in the big one. 

[one-eyed]

Malthouse repeated today on 3aw he'll never coach again but shot down Eddie saying he wasn't mentally and emotionally spent and he would've carried on at the Pies (but not in the role the Pies wanted).
