About the Author:
Mick Malthouse began life in the country town of Wendouree, Ballarat. Mick's background was very modest and his father suffered from a debilitating illness when Mick was a young boy. Although young and living with his mother and his sister, the responsibility of "man of the house" was thrust upon him. As all young men do, he battled with the vagaries of youth, but soon found his niche and began to play football with North Ballarat. From here he was recruited to the then VFL team St. Kilda and went on to play with Richmond for several years where he played in the 1980 Premiership Team. Following his retirement from playing, he commenced his coaching career at Footscray. Australian Rules football was developing across the country and Mick was soon headhunted and appointed senior coach of the recently established AFL team, the West Coast Eagles. Mick was successful while in WA, leading his players to two AFL Premierships in his ten-year tenure.
