It is believed that Nth Blues coach Darren Harris has informed Carlton that he won't be with the club in 2013 and is intending to move back to WA.
Harris was appointed as interim coach after the mysterious mid-season departure of Robert Hyde.
I'd expect that Mick Malthouse will have quite a big say in who coaches the Nth Blues in 2013.
Assuming he gets the job, I'd say Malthouse would exclusively have a say in who coaches the club traditionally known as Preston.
* It's time to restore the VFA name.
Stuff Malthouse, they should recruit a Coach from within there seem to have good Assistants and at least he can Represent the Nth Blues as well got to find a balance.
