Doug talks glowingly of Malthouse on what I've heard.
Pretty ordinary form from bringing his family into it.

He does but then Doug never really bags anyone in public.

Agree, but it was a very different time and Coaches never tip toed in those days.

True about it being a different time. There was a big hoo-hah about Malthouse's appointment being the first full time coach in the history of the club. How he would be able to sit in his office and think up statergies. From memory he was getting 30, 000 a year.

I think that the story was that Doug Hawkins came in late for training one day and Malthouse berated him in front of the team and fans present. Words like."You are a drunk and you will never be any good your father was a drunk and he will never be any good". Hardie was nearby and grabbed Malthouse by the jumper and bailed him up against the race wall and gave him a serve about berating the kid's hero in such a way.

Anyhow, Malthouse never apologised and so the relationship just worsened.

I've never heard that before. Thanks, it just gives me another reason to hate the self righteous prick.
