Michael Malthouse (born 17 August 1953) is a former Australian rules footballer and former Australian Football League (AFL) coach and current media star.
Although his playing career included a premiership for Richmond in 1980, he is best known for his long coaching career at four clubs and holds the top coaching record for the most VFL/AFL games. Malthouse began as a Footscray mentor in 1984 and became the most popular coach in the West Coast Eagles' history, with several championship appearances (1991, 1992, 1994), and the highest win ratio (1992 and 1994, both against Geelong).
The 1992 AFL Grand Finals was the West Coast Eagles' first AFL premiership and the first AFL premiership won by a team from outside Victoria. Malthouse guided Collingwood to grand finals in 2002, 2003, 2010, and 2011; with success in the 2010 Grand Final Replay, the Collingwood staff earned their first premiership since 1990.
He spent 212 years as the senior coach of Carlton from 2013 to mid-2015. Malthouse's teaching career spanned 718 senior games, the all-time VFL/AFL record – over thirty-one seasons.
Malthouse has played for or senior coach at six clubs, an AFL record.
Early Years
Ray Malthouse, a local plasterer, and his partner Marie (née Canty) were married in Ballarat, Victoria, the year after their marriage. Gerardine, his younger sister, also has a younger brother.
Playing career
Recruited from North Ballarat, Malthouse, started his football career with St Kilda in 1972, playing 53 senior games, three of which were finals. After being told by then-senior coach Allan Jeans that he would fail to play in the senior team due to a shortage of similarly injured players, he left Richmond midway through the 1976 season.
Malthouse played 121 senior games, including six finals and the runaway premiership victory over Collingwood in the 1980 Grand Finals. He was known as a tenacious and tenacious defender. Malthouse made it to every game of the home-and-away season for the first time in his career, but he suffered a dislocated shoulder in the lead-up to the Grand Final in 1982. He missed out on the game after failing to pass a grueling fitness test. He died in 1983 when he was retired.
Coaching career
After Ian Hampshire unexpectedly resigned as the Footscray senior coach in early January, Malthouse and his family decided to return from holiday with his family after learning of the sudden vacancy on the radio. He was approached by club officials and was appointed as the senior coach of Footscray for the next two seasons on January 13. Malthouse had only recently retired from playing, so he wasn't expecting to become a senior VFL coach right away, though he had aspired to coach at some point. Despite this, he was able to lay out his basic philosophies: he was still able to lay out his basic beliefs:
During his time with the Bulldogs, he was known for his skepticism against several players, including Doug Hawkins. The team's final standings in his tenure were 7th (1984), 3rd (1985), 8th (1985), 8th (1989), and 13th (1989). He was impressed by his devotion and professionalism. At the end of 1989, Malthouse's financially troubled club announced its intention to merge with Fitzroy; the change never happened due to a supporter fightback; and Malthouse's assistant coach Terry Wheeler was chastised for not sticking by his club in the times of need. Wheeler replaced Malthouse as the Footscray Football Club's senior coach.
After Todd was fired after the Eagles lost and finished ninth on the ladder with seven wins and fifteen losses, Malthouse then promoted John Todd as the West Coast Eagles senior coach at the end of the 1989 season. He was a senior coach for the West Coast Eagles for ten years starting in 1990. The Eagles won their first 12 games of the season and finished minor premiers for the first time in the club's history, one of only two clubs in VFL/AFL to complete the entire season from top of the charts. They were placed in a home Qualifying Final against Hawthorn, the first AFL final to be played interstate. Hawthorn endured one of the season's worst boilovers, defeating the Eagles by 23 points in the first quarter. As a result, the Eagles will need to make three trips to Waverley Park to reach the Grand Final. During his tenure as coach, the Eagles reached the finals every year, including 1992 and 1994 premierships and 1991 grand finalists. The final minor premiership ladder positions were 3rd, 1st, 6th, 1st, 5th, 4th, 5th, 5th, 5th, 7th, and 5th (1990–1999).
Malthouse resigned as West Coast Eagles senior coach during the 1999 season, and Ken Judge was hired as West Coast Eagles senior coach.
Collectwood president Eddie McGuire was recruited to the Magpies by Collingwood College until Tony Shaw resigned as Collingwood's senior coach after Shaw resigned when Collingwood under Shaw finished 16th (last on the ladder) for the wooden spoon at the end of the 1999 season. In eight out of his twelve years as coach, Malthouse guided Collingwood to the finals in 2002, 2003, 2010 (twice) and 2011.
Collingwood Football Club's senior coach in the 2000 season finished 15th (second-last) on the ladder, with seven victories and fifteen losses. Collingwood under Malthouse just missed out on the finals in 2001, where they finished ninth on the ladder with eleven wins and eleven losses.
In the 2002 AFL Grand Finals, Malthouse led Collingwood to the 2002 AFL Grand Final but they fell short and lost by a margin of nine points to Brisbane Lions 10.15 (66).
Malthouse led Collingwood into the 2003 AFL Grand Final but the Brisbane Lions fell short for the second year in a row, losing by a margin of fifty points.
Collingwood's on-field success under Malthouse dropped in 2004 when they finished thirteenth, with eight victories and fourteen losses. Collingwood's on-field success under Malthouse went from bad to worse in 2005, when they finished 15th (second-last) on the ladder with five wins and seventeen losses.
Collingwood under Malthouse's tenure in the 2006 season climbed to the final series after finishing fifth on the ladder. However, the Western Bulldogs were disqualified in the elimination final by forty-one points. Collingwood Under Malthouse made the finals again in 2007, but the eventual premiers Geelong dropped by five points. Collingwood Under Malthouse made the finals again in the 2008 season, but St Kilda beat them by thirty-four points, but they were disqualified by St Kilda in the semi-finals.
Collingwood Football Club president Eddie McGuire produced a succession scheme in which Malthouse was to hand over the coaching reins to team legend and assistant coach Nathan Buckley at the end of the 2011 season. Collingwood under Malthouse made the finals twice in the 2009 season, but eventual premiers Geelong knocked them out by seven points.
Malthouse led Collingwood to a premiership win after the first drawn AFL/VFL grand final since 1977, where Collingwood under Malthouse won by a stunning 56 points over St Kilda 7.10 (52). This was the club's first grand final victory and first since 1990.
Malthouse led Collingwood to another grand final against the Geelong Cats in 2011. After his team's dramatic three-point victory over Hawthorn in a preliminary final, he was shown on television in tears in the coach's box, after being dropped 17 points down to book their spot in Malthouse's fifth grand final as Collingwood Football Club senior coach and his eighth overall. Collingwood under Malthouse lost the 2011 AFL Grand Final to Geelong by a margin of 38 points, where the final score was Geelong 18.11 (119) to Collingwood 12.9 (81). The game was his last game as Collingwood Football Club's senior coach, as Malthouse handed over the coaching duties to assistant coach Nathan Buckley after the game as part of the planned change in the two-year succession scheme. After the loss, Malthouse announced that he did not take on the position as Director of Coaching at Collingwood, and that he had made the decision six weeks earlier. In addition, while teaching Collingwood, Malthouse, I spent time as a guest media commentator for SEN 1116.
After Malthouse fired Brett Ratten as the head coach of Carlton during the 2012 season, he was confirmed as the senior coach of the club on September 11, 2012, when Malthouse fired him as the Carlton Football Club's senior coach after Ratten was fired at the end of the 2012 season. The Blues under Malthouse started ninth on the ladder in 2013 with 11 wins and 11 losses, but they were promoted to eighth position after Essendon were relegated to ninth position in the final round, keeping North Melbourne from overtaking them on percentages. Carlton then defeated Richmond in the elimination final, thus making Malthouse the most popular finals coach ever. However, Carlton under Malthouse was still eliminated by the Sydney Swans in the semi-finals of the 2013 finals series.
Carlton suffered through the remainder of his time with the club. With four consecutive losses and finishing fourth under Malthouse's banner in the 2014 season, the club under Malthouse finished with seven wins, one draw, and fourteen losses en route to a 13th-place finish in the league; and in the 2015 season, he reached a record of 1–7 after eight rounds. As the club's on-field results worsened, there was a lot of speculation about Malthouse's position, as well as its CEO Steven Trigg's public relations, particularly president Mark LoGiudice and CEO Steven Trigg, who had both been in office since mid-2014. Malthouse was fired as the club's senior coach on Friday, just hours after giving a radio interview on Melbourne Station SEN, where Malthouse was highly critical of the club's leadership. Assistant coach John Barker was then named as the caretaker senior coach of Carlton Football Club for the remainder of the 2015 season.
Media career
Malthouse spent time as a guest media commentator for SEN 1116. He served as a media commentator for the Seven Network and radio station 3AW in 2012, as well as a West Australian journalist. In addition, he has appeared on the 5AA sports show with Graham Cornes and Stephen Rowe every week. Malthouse also named an apprentice of The Recruit in 2016. Malthouse joined the ABC as a commentator on its football coverage after being fired by SEN at the end of 2017.
