Now don't go off half ccked at the title.
The NFL is in a different stratosphere to the AFL in every possible conception as a professional sport - so I'm not making any comparisons there.
My point is about how the game honours their true greats.
The AFL are not only not in the same universe as the NFL they are complete RRRS clowns.
Take a good hard look at Jock's record.
Played 191 consecutive games between 1906 and 1917.
Played 261 between 1903 and 1927.
Collingwood premiership player 1910.
Collinwood premiership player/coach 1917.
Collingwood captain 1912-13.
Collingwood premiership coach 1919 1927 1928 1929 1930 1935 1936.
That's 261 games and 2 flags as a player
That's 8 flags and 4 in a row as a coach
That's - as a coach - 714 games
467 wins
237 losses
10 draws
No single person in VFL/AFL history has a record even remotely comparable to Jock
And the AFL put him up to the legends and named the coach's trophy after him???
Legend???
What a croc of SHT!
He's an immortal OF THE GAME.
Look at how the NFL treat their immortals - Lombardi is a demi god.
Jock still hasn't got a statue . . . .
FCK THE AFL.
