Buckley to coach as Malthouse hospitalised following Kangaroos praise
Nathan Buckley will make his AFL coaching debut this weekend after Collingwood Football Club coach Mick Malthouse was hospitalised yesterday when the club’s medical department detected signs of dementia in the 57-yearold coaching supremo.
It is believed club doctors first became concerned for Malthouse’s wellbeing after he heaped praise on the North Melbourne Football Club during a press conference yesterday, at one point even claiming the Kangaroos had “a wonderful chance to [finish] in the eight.”
“Right now Mick is very confused” Magpies club doctor David Francis said this morning. “He’s still steadfast in his praise for Brent Harvey and he insists the shinboner spirit is tactile.”
“I think I even heard him say the Magpies younger players have a commendable moral compass.”
“To develop such irrational and indefensible beliefs so quickly can only be rapidly progressive dementia.”
Collingwood club president Eddie McGuire, speaking during his highly anticipated historic visit to Broadmedows, apologised to North Melbourne and its 27-paid up members for any hopes Malthouse’s comments may have raised.

This is just the best football website. I intend to give it exclusive rights to publish in instalments my sci-fi alternative history football novel. That’s the one in which Barry Davis says no thanks to Nth Melb, Geoff Blethyn tells Sutex to stick their job with its transfer to Perth up their bum, and Darrel Gerlach decides to hang around for a couple more seasons. So Tuddy coaches the Bombers to the 1973 flag!

Any room in the novel for three different umpires to officiate the 2008 Grand Final?

Umpires?! It’s sci-fi, not fantasy.
