Will You Roast or Toast Malthouse on Friday Night?

[frizzle]

Toast.
Would be an extremely poor look for our supporters to be booing him when breaking the games coaching record regardless of how you currently feel about him.
Media & opposition supporters would go to town on us. Don't give them a reason to do so.

 

[PieNSauce]

Cheer for a Carlton coach! Wash your mouth out!

 

[NT.Thunder]

Toast/Roast I don't know - it's like he's the mother of your child that really got annoying very fast and moved on. He's still connected through the 1990 premiership and they were great times....but than he had to go and sleep with the enemy.

 

[PieNSauce]

There may come a day when I would have something positive to say about Mick but I reckon that might require for him to firstly leave the den of the enemy and secondly to grow up and accept the things that come with being a highly paid AFL coach. Things like pressure on your family and performance governing contract renewal. I doubt that without those things I could ever say all that much about him that he would like to hear.

 

[MagpieJoel]

I'll thank him for the premiership.......and the great job he is doing over at the scum.

 

[THATSGOLD]

10 plus years. 4 GFs and a flag. Anyone that boos that is an idiot.

 

[THATSGOLD]

At the end of the day the opinion that matters belongs to the past and present players he took on a journey and coached to a premiership. Wonder what their opinion was ?

BTW be great to see him achieve an incredible milestone but lose to us all in the one night .

Ask any player and Malthouse is basically a favourite coach.

Before last night I would have said Roast, but watching that interview I've changed my opinion, I will be cheering. He brought a premiership to out club and for that I am forever. It's time for Collingwood and Eddie to extend the olive branch and show we are over all of this.

Eddie has extended the olive branch several times if I'm not mistaken. I think it's looking a little charred these days.

Yeah somewhat, but maybe just offer an apology that things could have been handled better then celebrate the great times he brought to our club.

So you don't think the club is deserving of an apology from Mick?

 

[legendstatus]

When he can say a good word about Collingwood and show class & dignity towards us and what we gave him, then I might think about it, but whilst he coaches Carlscum he is and always will remain as my enemy...FK him and the ground he walks on!

 

[tommyv49]

No I do, but 2 wrongs don't make a right.

 

[PieNSauce]

No I do, but 2 wrongs don't make a right.

The point from my perspective is that having offered the olive branch, I would have thought that the next move belongs to Mick.

I understand your point and agree with it somewhat, but the more effort we make with mick the sooner that the message will get through to him. He obviously still holds a grudge, but he won a flag for us and destroyed carlton within 4 years of each other. The bloke is a legend!

 

[Rorzza]

No problems toasting any man that has spent 42 years as a player and coach at the highest level of our great game. Fortunately 286 games of the 714 as coach and a premiership at Collingwood. Congratulations once again Mick.

i hate that he is at Carlton, but when i see that footage of him in the box after nearly losing the pre lim and he is in tears.. he loved our club.

Toast for me..

 

[Snag Breac]

I'm like the last Tzar - entirely convinced by everything the last poster said. I expect I'll compromise on the night and clap politely. No cheering. No ululating for me.

 

[Wayne Arnold]

Can't wait to boo and laugh at the senile, vindictive prick.

Will get there early to be certain I don't miss out.

 

[Snag Breac]

Does anyone know what's being planned by the AFL or Carlton by way of pregame ceremony? I wonder if Eddie has organised something.

We are over it. It's Mick who can't get over it.

My silent protest against the man, decided to not go to the game.
I have to be consistent and true to myself, intend to boycott and on TV will only watch when the ball is bounced until after the siren. No half-time stories either I hope.
I don't think I have ever felt so strongly against any other sports person.

I understand that, Maggs. MM was his own worst enemy throughout the entire transition crisis. But I feel our young team will need all the feral support it can get, every game. So will go and do my best to keep the security men anxious.

It is different for me because unlike a lot of people here, it is not just about 2011, or the way he left, or the fact that he favoured players etc. The most disappointing time was the Milne affair and that he misled Maxwell to lie on his behalf. Who does that to the captain of his team?

Edit: That really burns me up, unforgivable!

I think there's a goodly streak of the egotistical fool in the man, and that was a prime example of it. Ego can be a powerful asset up to a point, but when you overshoot the mark it becomes a weakness. MM overdoes it for me, and it makes him blind to the effect he's having on others.
