Mick Malthouse won't be at Collingwood in 2012

[The Coon Dog]

Mike Sheahan - HS - 26 August

YOU won't hear confirmation until Collingwood completes all engagements for 2011, but Michael Malthouse won't be at the club next year - in any capacity.

It's a decision that's understood to have been fixed in his mind for several weeks. It remains private to avoid any potential disruption to the club's 2011 premiership campaign.

What club president Eddie McGuire contrived as the perfect succession plan in July 2009 has been torpedoed by a number of issues, principally Malthouse's growing frustration with a use-by date imposed upon him and Nathan Buckley's determination to assume total control - as promised - after the current season.

Where do we think he will coach next year?
My guess in order would be
St Kilda
Carlton
Melb
Dogs
Adelaide
Port Adelaide

If Carlton bomb out in the finals he would be a shoe in for that job as Ratten won't survive.

It was always on the cards seeing as though Mick & Swann are seen to be quite close.

Discussion on SEN this morning saying that he WOULD honour his contract at Collingwood next year following on from some comments made by McGuire last night

St Kilda? No way Lyon will walk away ' unfinished business'.
Carlton fans would be livid if they got rid of ratten for a Collingwood coach
Melbourne have no chance to win a flag anytime soon
Dogs are well placed if they play their cards right.

Malthouse with Milne? A million to one

Totally disagree, I think you are thinking with your heart.
Alot of Carlton supporters want Ratten gone,
Lyon has apparently been offered a 5 year contract at Melbourne
How are Dogs well placed? Why are we so more advanced than Melboourne?

What if Carlton win the first final? Likely. Then lose the second. Will Ratten still be there?

Ok I see your points
Carlton would be hard placed to sack Ratten as his performance ( and the team's ) has been competitive.
People close to Lyon seem to think he's pretty hard nosed and wants to finish the job at St Kilda. That's what people have told me.
Melbourne are that much further away from winning a flag than us.
We have a list that can be pretty competitive and the club is in good shape.

How will both lists look in 2 years time?

Who knows really. Injuries can cull players, fortunes can change.
Melbourne were supposed to be powering along at the moment, according to their supposed recruiting strategy.
Three years into their plan, they look insipid.

If I was Lyon I would be running away from St. Kilda as fast as I could.

The irony is they are heading for long term pain because of him!

He has a contract for next year so they would have to pay him out. Maybe they can come to a mutual agreement if he gets a job at Melbourne?

With no real reliance on mature players they are going along ok.

Take out both teams over 28's and their list stacks up very well against ours... but it should considering they bottomed out while we were contending.

Taking away sentiment if I had the choice between coaching the Dogs & the Dees it would be an absolute no brainer.

Melbourne still have a lot to prove though. In fact, they've barely proven anything. If it wasn't for those two games against Collingwood last year, the media would label them as flogs.

They have a young list - but how many of them are good?

Melbourne might eventually make finals but they won't do damage IMO.
