2024 AFLCA Coach of the Year

[boncer34]

Last to 6th vs 15th to GF. Hmmm which is a greater achievement and deserves the higher accolades

Which round did Brisbane finish 15th?

Congrats to Fagan. I would have picked Scott or Mitchell but Fagan is definitely worthy.

Bit of a nothing award given Clarko never won one.

Sorry fixed it. Got confused with 2018 final position. The correct position this was 14th

Or maybe it was Fagan behind the scenes all along…

It’s not the most improved award, it’s the coaches award as voted for by all of the other coaches.

The amount of disrespect for Fagan in here is bog average. The lions had a horrific injury list, backs against the wall after just missing out last year and are now in another granny.

Easily a deserving winner of the award.

Fagan wasn't a coach at Hawthorn, so not likely.

Crying like a 12 year old during your press conference probably doesn't help earn cred amongst your peers.

Not too clever by you there. You see, it’s the AFL coaches that decide the winner.

I realise that but whichever coaches voted for Fagan to be coach of the year won't look too clever if Brisbane loses another GF.

If Brisbane wins the GF you could argue that he was improved his team from last year but if they lose again they are no better.

After a 0-5 start champ. Fagan has never achieved that. Nothing against Fages he's a great bloke and a good coach but clearly Scott and Mitchell coached better this year with inferior lists.

Seems a bit paradoxical to discredit the award because multi-premiership winning coaches haven't won it before while also making the case that a coach whose team is out of the finals race deserves it ahead of the two coaches actually playing off for a premiership on Saturday.

Fages is a great coach and well deserving. Lions were only half a game and % ahead of Hawthorn at round 9. A similar though slightly less dramatic run home to make finals than Hawthorn, but ultimately Fages got his team through to the big dance where Mitchell didn't.

Longmire, C.Scott or Mitchell

Fagan hasn't improved his side…yet (let’s reconvene in Saturday evening).
