Richmond Get Michael Malthouse ...

[TigerLand]

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

Interesting post WP, do you speak for MM?

Nothing is assured in this business.

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 

Yeah agree on the surface but Collingwood surely have far bigger things to worry about then what Mick Malthouse does? I can't see the effort to 'embargo' Micks employment is worth the hassle, runners up surely have bigger fish to fry in their own paddock.

I can see Mick coming down and having a volunteer mentoring role, which may be allowed I'm not sure? Micks always been vocal how much he enjoys coming back to Punt Road to sign memorabilia, being that's where he played you always feel welcomed etc.

Will be interesting to follow anyway.

He was just on 10 news saying he wasn't physically burnt out and challenged the reporter to a run down the shops. Maybe we could chuck him a jumper and slot him in the back pocket

Mick would be better than Daniel Jackson.

The problem will be Richmond wanting to extend Hardwick's contract!!!

I know it's ages away next season but I can't even think of any coaches at the moment that would be under pressure besides for maybe Ratten but I can't see many head coaching roles opening up for Mick in 2013

Here is the situation as I see it.

If we fail to make the finals next year then the club has failed to meet the objectives of the plan that said 3 finals series in 5 years.

If that happens then there is a good chance the temptation to grab Malthouse will be strong, especially as we will be the only club in the market for a coach, unless Ratten or North Scott gets sacked.

If I was Hardwick I would be really hoping next year sees us in the 8.

In my opinion Hardwick just needs players to keep improving. Im not expecting finals next year so Im not setting it as a bench mark. I think from memory the club has said the 3 in 5 years is a goal not an expectation.

[TigerTimeII]

we should aim for finals every yr , thats the problen with this club, what is so wrong with trying to make finals each yr anyway

mediocrity is BS

Correct. There were no promises attached to that.

 , dead right, anything but finals next year is failure IMO, I am sick of hearing this rebuilding crap. Thats the attidude the players take on the field sometimes I am sure............oh well it dosn't matter if we lose.....we are stuffing rebuilding.

poo, we have been rebuilding since 1980 FFS!

[WilliamPowell]

Agree the goal should always be finals

But I really do wonder if people are over rating our list in a big way

But that's another topic for another day

Back to Mick...he also said today that he cannot see himself being involved in another Football club, right now he doesn't want to be

For a guy who was dead set on us tanking this season so we can keep rebuilding I find your comments astonishing not to mention completely hypercritical    sound as though you wouldn't know is your arse was on fire

All well and good to aim for finals every year, but did you really expect us to make it there these last two years?

As for the 3 finals in 5 years or whatever it was, it was a goal set by the club.
There is not much point in setting goals if you don't expect to achieve them.

Ah WAT, you've done it again.

But then again I understand where you are coming from. I've had a go at rebuilding cars in the past and it takes too long, too much like hard work and you need to know what you are doing.

So I decided, no more of this rebuilding crap. Now i just go out and buy what i need.

If only i could find a genie in a bottle.

crap lists can still make finals its a 50% chance, but at least by making it it creates more hunger and builds a winning mentality not a rebuilding mentality that we have had for over 20 yrs
john northey had the idea, he didnt care what list we had but once u crossed that line u played ur arse of to win
