Mick Malthouse
Michael "Mick" Malthouse (born 17 August 1953) is an Australian rules footballer and the coach of four Australian Football League (AFL) clubs. In 2012 he was appointed as the next coach of Carlton. Although his playing career included a premiership for Richmond in the VFL, he is best known for his AFL coaching career.
Malthouse is the most successful coach in the history of the West Coast Eagles, holding several club coaching records including the most grand final appearances (1991, 1992, 1994), most premierships (1992 and 1994, both against Geelong), as well as the highest win ratio.
The 1992 Grand Final win was the first AFL premiership won by a team from outside Victoria and was the West Coast Eagles' first ever senior premiership.
Malthouse also coached Collingwood to grand finals in 2002, 2003, 2010 and 2011; with success in the 2010 Grand Final Replay, leading Collingwood to its first premiership since 1990.
During 2012 Malthouse has been an AFL commentator on television with the Seven Network and on radio with 3AW.

Famous quotes containing the word mick:
“The real pleasure of being Mick Jagger was in having everything but being tempted by nothing ... a smouldering ill will which silk clothes, fine food, wine, women, and every conceivable physical pampering somehow aggravated ... a drained and languorous, exquisitely photogenic ennui.”
—Anonymous “Chronicler.” Quoted in Philip Norman, The Life and Good Times of the Rolling Stones (1989)
