Carlton's 2013 AFL finals appearance celebrated with 8 pics of angry Mick Malthouse He was a jolly fellow as Collingwood coach and is even merrier these days with the Blues. IT IS the AFL finals. And if one man truly represents September, it's Mick Malthouse. He is a cheery sort of chap. Malthouse gently asks his players to try a little harder while singing Kumbaya after yet another Carlton loss. He's also a brilliant coach, as shown by his feat of lifting Carlton into the AFL finals this year. All that expensive eyewear and he still misses the bit under his lip every time he shaves.
