Zero to hero
There is shame in failure. Not every club can be the best. In 2010 West Coast was the worst, winning the club’s first wooden spoon. A proud club reduced to shambles, its culture was analysed and derided. The coach, a former player, refused to quit amidst the pressure. Spatial rival, Fremantle, won a final.
Mick’s honour
Mick Malthouse is on the verge of becoming a football institution. If Collingwood wins the premiership Malthouse will become the twelfth VFL/AFL coach to have won four or more grand finals. His legacy will be synonymous with the game’s greatest coaches, men who are remembered for their achievement, longevity and ingenuity.
