Nafan Noflags: Not even in the top 3 players coached by Mick Malthouse

The three best players he coached?
In no order, Glen Jakovich, Doug Hawkins and Dane Swan.

I rated FIGJAM highly but there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth. So apparently even Dougy Hawkins was a better footballer, hard to believe but I trust Mick's judgment.

If he had extended that to his top 100 players he still wouldn't have included Buckley or Brad Hardie.
Man is a bitter old fool with NPD.

 

[ChappyUK]

This rates very highly on my 'Things a couldn't give a shit about' list

 

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

If he had of grown a beard whilst he was playing he could have been GOAT.

Swanny is a nice touch. Did Pendles drop off when it’s clear he’s a Bucks boy?

Doug Hawkins was a fantastic player, very skilled and tough. Not sure if he was better than Figgy but he was a great player in his day.
Mick was one of my favourite players in the late 70’s early eighties for Richmond, but the old flog is sour and twisted now. Carlton does that to people.

Not too many more butttthurt flogs than old Floghouse. Coached 2 Brownlow medalists yet fell out with both to the point his anal region is too sore to include them in his top 3.

 

[Benny78]

Is he talking in terms of loyalty or the players skill level?

 

[Occidental]

Last night, all lauded Brad Hardie.
He turned up at Footscray, wins a Brownlow in his first year. By the end of his second year Malthouse got rid of him.
Mick’s always been like that.
Love him for our flag.
But he’s definitely a campaigner.

I reckon Bucks lost zero sleep over this.

Wait you aren't seriously suggesting Scott Pendlebury's a better player than Dane Swan surely??

Pendles is one of the most overrated footballers this century, a media darling who's complete lack of accountability has never been publicly questioned. Whereas Swanny was a god among bogans, a true salt of the earth old skool footballer who literally had the ball on a string his entire career.

ACA keeps throwing out the bait but no bites.

The bait isn’t stinky enough.

The senile old DH also included Dale Thomas, Anthony Rocca and James Clement among the very best players he coached.

He's probably still got his 22 Carlton spuds fresh in his mind reflecting on those 3 DHs

I'm not sure how that proves your point.

Apparently you are incorrect, given Figgies very public outburst.

Poor form.

The outrage is peter matera not being second

Jako Roo and McKenna... 1,2,3 - all nominated in the team of the century

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Rupert Betheras was robbed

Matera was a complete narcissist and sociopath tho, too much in common with old Mick.

 

[Mofra]

Objectively though, Doug Hawkins was a better player. Best wet weather player in the 80s and could do it all.

Was basically similar to Buckley except much better in the air and a better bloke.

 

[Beer n Skittles]

Aaron Joseph stiff to miss

lol I wonder why Buk is so shit at football? No flags and a shared Brownlow lolol oh my

lawl, shared Brownlow’s are the equivalent of Winning at beer pong. You try to celebrate it like it’s a meaningful victory but really you & your mates both know you’re only there for the drinks.

You may be correct but he kicked 5 goals from the wing in a GF against your blokes.

Yeah he played a ripper that day, one of the best GF performances ever.
