Great post - I don't know if MM is the answer but if the club bows to the media pressure to sack MM then I think it paints a bad picture of our club for any new replacement coach we might be courting.

GC were doing well when Ablett was getting it 40+ times a game, when he got injured they were ordinary.
McKenna turned a blind eye to the players boozing and mischief every weekend, he's not going to get another job as an AFL head coach for a while.

"To get there (200 games), Bassett has had to endure two broken legs, two fractured shoulder blades, a cracked sternum, dislocated elbow, shoulder reconstruction, fractured foot, broken ankle, broken finger, knee and groin surgeries, neck injuries and three concussions.
Then there was the biggest hit of all - being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes"

It was only Westies coach
Clarkson's a three time premiership coach remember?
Tbh I feel like our current group needs someone who will kick their arse when they fall out of line.
Yet somehow the AFL & the AFLCA rated him enough to nominate him for the accreditation course. I guess footy followers know more about football than the AFL & its coaches.Honestly, what quality Barker brings to the table??? Was our defence now forward coach and i don't see anything special about either ..
The club have to show some maturity & make the decision re: the senior coaching position in their own time, not the time dictated by the media or supporters for that matter.
Sacking a coach mid-season is a knee jerk reaction which doesn't often end well. We need to go through a proper process in either reappointing Malthouse or choosing a new coach. If it is not done this way, then we can look forward to more of the same instability & media harassment.

With the likes of Zach Tuohy, Dylan Buckley and Andrew Walker running off the half-back line, Barker said they need to encourage their dash through the corridor.
“We’ve probably seen over the last few weeks, when the game has been on the line, we haven’t played with that same dare and we need to,” Barker said.
“We’ve got a good set of half-backs who can use the ball, who can use their legs, and we need to make sure we make the most of that and not go back into down-the-line, stale footy."
How about we just use the corridor more often then not then?
Our usual boundary football has failed miserably for three seasons now.

My favourite Nathan Basset story was when he punched Adelaide teammate Ian Perrie in the face for throwing a ball of tape and abusing a draftee during his first training session in 2005.
Wonder if he put that on his resume?

Ian Perrie needed more punches imo
Guy as an outsider looking in I really think the coach is only a small party of the problem with the Blues at the moment where as I think it's 99% of the problem at my club. Your list is in rebuild mode

Surely Keilor Under 9s don't sack coaches mid-season? Say it isn't so.
You should appreciate that my name is a dig at James Hirds pre Essendon coaching experience

Sounds like Barker is trying to distance himself from MMs game plan.
100% spot on. He basically just took a dump on Mick's gameplan.
Judging by those comments Barker is looking at securing a job post-Malthouse, be it at our club or another.

Yep, I cack myself everytime I hear that thing !!

The guy doing the broadcast lost it as much as I do every time I hear it

He makes it even funnier than the original story, how he kept it together as loosely as he did is truly outstanding, I would've been rolling around on the floor of the studio.

I want Mark Roberts to be our next coach, because just think of the headlines when we beat Footscray

Okay so that was rather Cliff Clavin cringe-worthy, but hey, I'm trying to keep up the comedy quota around here
