As i said not rated by their fans as a fwd coach.Think Stafford might've been Melbourne's Forwards coach, not Ruck coach. Their forward line hasn't been all that funtional at the best of times.

Paul RoosThe only exception being Leigh Matthews & Ron Barassi in 100 years.
Thanks mateWelcome back Blake.
We missed ya.
Hmmm he got them within 4 points of a gf win like literally lost in the last minute . Yes he lost the players in the end as happens in clubs , he had a few years where it went pear shaped at start of his career but still rekon he would be better second time aroundHe turned the youngest premiership list in history from a potential dynasty into a sh1t show. And his team that couldn't fire, McRae took to a flag. Do you think Cotchin, Dangerflog and Selwood would be brilliant coaches too? Check the history books mate superstar players= terrible coaches. Dour back pocket plodders= superstar coaches.

I think the 80's onwards is a bit of a different era. From there I agree Good players rarely (but not never) make good coaches.Paul Roos

My thoughts zackly!I personally think Paul Roos was massively overrated as a coach
Walls is just a c0ckhe@d , so I don't care about how good he may have been, fair to say his flags were bought by brown paper bags in the old carlton days, not his coaching
Couldn't agree more on Roos. I would add Ross Lyon in as well. They essentially came up with a new system of defence that was very effective and frustrating that took the Comp by storm. By the time other systems have come in and worked it out, they haven't got anything new.I think the 80's onwards is a bit of a different era. From there I agree Good players rarely (but not never) make good coaches.
So if we are just looking at the top 4 on your list:
Paul Roos, Chocco and Blighty, all can be viewed in two ways:
Positive - Always had teams contending (for the most part) and got the most out of thier lists
Negative - They all only won one flag each (not saying they are easy) with teams that where contending for long periods of time, so perhaps should have won more. So maybe they under-achieved.
Blighty's teams sh@t the bed in multiple GF's
Chocco's teams sh@t the bed in multiple Prelims
Roos teams were a free kick (to either Judd or Sampi) away from not winning anything

The original comment was that superstars never made good coaches...only back pocket players...or something like that.So if we are just looking at the top 4 on your list:
Anyway...I'm not so sure it really makes any difference whether the coach was a talented player or not...it all likely comes down to the individual...and their circumstances.
